![When it comes to UX, I feel I’ve discovered the most comfortable finger arc when it comes to navigating results and previewing them in Quick Look [on the wireless / MacBook OS X keyboard].
In Alfred 1.2.1, you will be able to navigate up and down the results and preview them by tapping the shift key. Tap the shift key again to hide the preview.
This feels equally as natural (especially if you have larger fingers) if you use your index finger to navigate up and down then your middle finger to Quick Look with the shift button.

Thanks for the feedback with b226, there were a few quirks with Quick Look which have now been sorted in b227. Update to Alfred 1.2.1 b227 development build now to help me test! :)

I’ve just popped a new development release up for testing which has a number of improvements including working around a memory leak in OS X 10.7.4. This fundamentally changes the way that files/apps are launched and all URLs (typed, web searches, custom searches, help links etc) are opened so testing around these areas would be really appreciated.
Vero and I have been using this build today and it has been working fine so if you would like to help test, grab it here!

User Chris Kalafarski suggested a really simple but highly effective enhancement to Alfred’s calculator for reusing a calculation’s result which is coming in 1.2.1.
Let’s say that you have the calculation:
=sqrt(12)*14^3
which in Alfred is equal to 9505.494831938 which you subsequently wanted to use back in Alfred for further calculations. Previously, you could have pressed return in Alfred to copy this answer to the clipboard, pop Alfred back up and paste this answer back in. This is now much easier by typing = after your calculation e.g.
=sqrt(12)*14^3=
Alfred will replace the current search query with
=9505.494831938
… so you can now continue calculating. Lovely! :)

Hot on the heels of the big Alfred 1.2 release, I bring you a 1.2.1 maintenance release which adds quite a few excellent new additions, notably…
There are loads more fixes and improvements, so be sure to read the update log!
If you would love to help test, or just like being on the cutting edge, grab the untested development build right now!

A super useful new system command to quickly quit all apps heading for 1.2.1
Well look what we have here, a new option coming in 1.2.1 to make Alfred’s default results smaller! I actually quite like the look of this :)
You may also notice that I have a 1Password login showing without the ‘1p’ keyword… that’s also a new option for even quicker access to your 1Click bookmarks!
… oh, and one more thing - you will also now get a scrollbar in the default results if there are more matches than visible, just like you do with the open and find keywords.

Andrew
There will be a little change in Alfred’s usage view for 1.2.1 making easier to show off your usage stats on Twitter! :)

Woooo, Alfred 1.2 is now available to all! If you are using the version from our website, click this to start the auto updater. If you are using the free App Store version, open the App Store and select the update tab.
This release has so many awesome things in it, especially if you are a Powerpack user! Be sure to read the Change Log to see all the yummy new features and fixes!
Note: If you were already using the latest pre-release b220, then no need to update.
