Thanks Brett for your amazing, impressing and valuable work.

Bunch has been a very useful tool for me and especially in combination
with Alfred. The Script filter from [Jay
Miller](https://kjaymiller.com/){rel="nofollow" target="_blank"} is
really nice but anyway, I ended up creating my own and it was really
simple by means of Bunch\'s CLI. Here is a simple one-liner that
populates the script filter (with a JSON formatted string).

`echo '{"items": ['$(bunch -l | sed -E "s|^(.*)|{\"title\": \"\1\",\"arg\": \"\1\", \"quicklookurl\": \"$bunchFolder/\1.bunch\"}, |g")']}'`

There are no other dependencies, besides the variable \$bunchFolder
which I prefer to have access to in more than on workflow, but may
easily be set with
`bunch --show-config-KEY dir | cut -d ':' -f 2`(because for some reason
Bunch CLI responds with \[Current directory\]/file:\[The Bunch folder\].
Brett, is this a bug or meant to be that way?) Also, I may note that I
changed the configuration somewhat to quicklook files with the .bunch
extension as text files. This makes i really fast to list, find and
preview my bunches and then run, reveal or edit the chosen one.

(FWIW, as a complete side effect I was able to fix a very annoying
problem that Finder(?!) was not able to reveal files, but sometimes just
returned the home folder. In a final action of despair I jus deleted
`/Users/pdl/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist` -- which solved
the problem I gave me much faster workflows.)
