Snippets not expanding in NI Software

[hfr]

My Snippets are not expanding in Native Instruments software (e.g. Maschine 2) - everywhere else it works. I can hear the expanding sound, the keyword disappears, but no Snippet appears.

 

(The software is not excluded from expanding in Alfred's prefs)

 

Thanks.

Looks like Maschine (and many other music apps) are Java-based.

 

This is a known bug in Java, which caches the clipboard content until focus in OS X changes. You can find more details in the Java bug tracker here:

If you place Alfred into focus compatibility mode in the Appearance > Options, you can still use your snippets within a Java app, but you'll need to use them from Alfred's Clipboard Viewer (and type to search for your snippet). Alfred's compatibility mode makes sure focus is taken away from the Java app when showing, which means Java updates the clipboard.

 

Hope this helps

 

Cheers,

…helped a lot. Thanks, Vero! I'll wait for that Java update then.
