[Feature Request] Keyword trigger based file filtering

[jcklpe]

Hi!

I love Albert! It's great. I was looking over some of the powerpack features for Alfred though and I saw a feature that seemed like it would be great to have in Albert. There's already some filtering stuff in the Files extension but from what I can tell it is global and specific filters can't be triggered via a keyword.

So you can see above there's the ability to use the keyword "f" and then the file search will only search for folders. Being able to specify that stuff in alfred would be super useful I imagine. Just a thought!

Is this available? I was going to request the same to search inside logseq pages or a zotero database.

I think this is another suggestion. Albert files plugin is not a full search (like xapian e.g.). I.e. it does not index file contents.

This issue is pretty vague. Sure we could add some sub parsers to certain extensions but there is no concrete solution to this issue.

Extensions are all GPL go ahead. I personally dont need this one. Probably its best to start a discussion and see how people react.
