Alfred won't show on my external monitor


Recommended Posts

Whenever I invoke Alfred it is now on my my laptop's monitor.. and never on my external display. I noticed this since running the last update.

 

It renders the clipboard manager useless, because when it opens on a different monitor, if I select a clip it doesn't go to the program I was on before I invoked it (that may be a separate problem).

 

About to submit a bug report, but wanted to check if anyone else has had this same issue or got a workaround for it.

Have you checked that Alfred is set to show on active screen in Alfred's Appearance > Options?

I am seeing this issue as well. I do have Alfred set to show on active screen. The main Alfred pops up correctly on whichever screen is active, but the clipboard always goes to the "default screen."

 

After a few minutes, the clipboard now seems to be popping up on the correct screen. Never mind!

Hi Javi, could you please fill in your Powerpack email address before asking a Powerpack-related question? We'll then be happy to help :)

Good to hear you're all sorted, and thanks for filling in your details :)
