Pancakes could bring up Sequel Pro

Copying some data from an old tweet.

Pancakes could bring up Sequel Pro
…but the string was not in the bundle or in the binary

Many people appreciated this…

For some reason I can never remember the name to the Sequel Pro app, so l always type in Pancakes to Alfred/Spotlight and it shows up.
the best feature of sequel pro is that I can find it by typing ‘pancakes’ into alfred
Sequel pro （データベースの中身見られるやつ）の名前が思い出せなくて
Launchpadで「pancake」って打ったらちゃんとSequel pro出てきたwww
Tip: A spotlight search for ‘pancakes’ WILL bring up the app Sequel Pro.
Awesome.
psst, don’t tell anyone

And why is this? Because of this part of the code

xattr -wx com.apple.metadata:kMDItemFinderComment seems to be the relevant command though there’s also some AppleScript in there too.

The successor fork of Sequel Pro is Sequel Ace does not, sadly, have this feature.
