WeWorkflow

An Alfred workflow to quickly access and manage other workflows' info and folders. Derived from alfred-extension, an Alfred2 extension created by Jaemok Jeong (jmjeong).

Main changes: dropped open in iTerm2, export, and disable actions, added access to workflow info, folder, and cache, config, detection of hotkey conflicts. Workflows' info now stored in a sqlite database for faster access.
