  1. @hankmadison Welcome to the forum! If you're seeing a different number of bookmarks, it's likely that there are more than one file for third party integration on your Mac, and Alfred may be looking at the wrong one. First, in Alfred's preferences, under Features > 1Password > Advanced, ensure that "Discover automatically" is checked, and try unchecking and rechecking it. If the path begins with ~/Library/Containers/, Alfred has found the Mac App Store version. If the path begins with ~/Library/Caches/, it'll be the version from their website. As another troubleshooting step to establish if there are multiple data files, if you try adding a new bookmark, does this new one appear in Alfred as well? Let me know how you get on Cheers, Vero
  2. @mymoon Welcome to the forum! Could you please fill in your registered Powerpack email address in your forum profile? As you're asking for help with Powerpack-specific features, this allows us to confirm your Powerpack status first. Your details will only be visible to administrators. Cheers, Vero
  3. Hi @rightx2 and @Jer, Have you both taken a look at the file indexing troubleshooting page? https://www.alfredapp.com/help/troubleshooting/indexing/ It's likely that you simply need to rebuild your Mac's metadata index. Take a look at the steps on this page and let me know how you get on Cheers, Vero
  4. @m0rogfar Good morning and welcome to the forum! In answer to your questions, the Mega Supporter license can be used on up to four Macs, provided that these are for your own use and not shared workstations. If you sell or give away any of your Macs, just launch your preferences to the Powerpack tab and deactivate the license first. You can even sync your preferences between your Macs: https://www.alfredapp.com/help/advanced/sync/ If you have any further license questions, just pop an email to info@ and we'll be happy to help you out Cheers, Vero
  5. @MarkL You can simply type "logout" into Alfred to return to the login screen. And yes, you can install Alfred on both of your accounts. Given that the core version of Alfred is free to use, you've got nothing to lose in installing it and experimenting Cheers, Vero
  6. @sensor Thanks for filling in your details. It looks like @stuartcryan answered the question in the other thread in which you posted a similar question, which is whether it's *possible*, which seems to be the case. Good start. At this stage, a fellow Apple Maps user may be able to help you out - or you can take a look at Stuart's workflow to see what has been done and see whether you can experiment with modifying the workflow yourself Cheers, Vero
  7. Hi @sensor, Welcome to the forum! Could you please fill in your Powerpack email address in your forum profile? This is only visible to admins, but allows us to confirm your Powerpack user status, given you're using workflows and asking for support with them Cheers, Vero
  8. NOTE: OMDb no longer offers a public API so you'll need your own paid subscription to OMDb for this workflow. Please read the first post for details. @tone Thanks for creating this workflow and maintaining it over the past two years. Companies evolve and their policies change; it's a shame OMDb is paid-only now, but I'll leave this thread visible, as some users may choose to have their own subscription to it. Cheers, Vero
  9. Hi @mrchow19910319 Can Spotlight find the app? It's likely that you need to rebuild your Mac's index, as latest macOS update may have caused some corruption to your metadata index. To rebuild your Mac's index, go to Alfred's Advanced preferences, press the "Rebuild macOS metadata" button and follow the instructions in Terminal. Be sure to check the box to "Delete /.Spotlight-V100" when it pops up. The reindexing can take up to an hour, and on completion, you'll need to type "reload" into Alfred to refresh the application cache. You should then be finding all your apps as expected Cheers, Vero
  10. @TeaTimeTraveler This then suggests that something on your main profile is interfering, resulting in the feeling of slower reaction. You'll need to investigate this further, as only you know exactly what's installed on your main user profile, but I would suggest looking at: - Apps that have accessibility access: Launch your System preferences to Security & Privacy > Privacy > Accessibility and remove anything non-essential. - Background apps that could be using CPU, running unexpected hotkeys or modifying keyboard response - Check whether your Mac's under high load when it occurs Alfred doesn't get slower over time, so finding it faster on restart will be a red herring. Once you work out what's interfering, you'll be all sorted
  11. @TeaTimeTraveler Are there any other apps or services that could be triggered at the same time as Alfred using your default hotkey? I would suggest creating a new user account on your Mac temporarily to see whether you can replicate the issue there; This will allow us to narrow down whether the issue is specific to your primary user account or across your Mac.
  12. @homever So it's working fine for you now? Just want to confirm I can treat this as all sorted out Cheers, Vero
  13. @homever What is copied to your clipboard when you select the "Copy path to clipboard"? It should appear in single quotes as is the case here: '/Users/vero/Desktop/BLOG POSTS/Example'\''s folder' I've tested this and it escapes as expected in Terminal, so I'd be interested in seeing exactly what's being copied to your clipboard, and what you're pasting to Terminal, so that I can help you further. Cheers, Vero
  14. Hi @TeaTimeTraveler Welcome to the forum Nothing's changed with respect to Alfred in recent releases that would change how snappily Alfred appears, so it's likely that some other factor is causing this feeling of slower reaction. If you're seeing characters missing, it's possible that another app or service on your Mac is being triggered with the same hotkey: https://www.alfredapp.com/help/kb/missing-first-character/ If you've recently upgraded to Sierra, make sure that Spotlight hasn't re-set itself to the same hotkey, as it would then be triggered too, imperceptibly stealing the first character or few characters before Alfred appears. This is the first thing to check. Next, does this occur on every occasion or specifically when your Mac is under higher load? Let me know how you get on! Cheers, Vero
  15. @homever Where are you copying the path from? This refers to using File Navigation, then pressing the right arrow to see file actions, as shown below: If File Actions are new to you, you can find out more here: https://www.alfredapp.com/help/features/file-search/#file-actions Cheers, Vero
  16. @CCQ You'll first need to enable the Clipboard History feature for text on the "History" tab visible in your screenshot. Cheers, Vero
  17. @shayonpal I would recommend doing a reindex from Alfred's Advanced prefs, ensuring that you check the "Delete /.Spotlight-V100" checkbox when it pops up. This will ensure that the index is recreated from scratch, as it sounds like there might still be some odd corruption in the index. Keep in mind that this can take up to an hour to complete, then type "reload" into Alfred, which refreshes the application cache, nothing else, but should ensure that the app cache is current to find Spotify, for example. Let me know how you get on Cheers, Vero
  18. @magnotti The Python-based framework used in some Alfred workflows on macOS Sierra causes the high CPU usage you're seeing. Take a look at this thread for the latest update from the workflow creator. He's provided a workflow you can run, which will fix the issue in all affected workflows: https://www.alfredforum.com/topic/10193-python-fix-how-to-fix-python-workflows-hanging-alfred-on-sierra/ Cheers, Vero
  19. @David Hughes Have you checked whether Spotlight finds any of these emails based on the same keywords? Tried searching for different terms to make sure you weren't accidentally searching for something that's not available? You may benefit from rebuilding your Mac's metadata index if no emails are being found, which you can do by following step 4 here: https://www.alfredapp.com/help/troubleshooting/indexing/ The more investigating you're able to do on your own Mac to provide us with more information, the easier it is for us to help you Cheers, Vero
  20. @matias Alfred relies on your Mac's index, so if it's a little out of date, or corrupted, apps can be missing from results. The first way to reindex just a single app is to pop up Spotlight preferences to the Privacy tab, drag the app (or the Applications folder) in, wait 30 seconds, then drag it back out. Wait a few minutes, and your Mac should reindex that folder. Once that's done, type "reload" into Alfred, as Alfred keeps an application cache for quick results. If this doesn't resolve the issue, take a look at step 4 here, which is a full reindex: https://www.alfredapp.com/help/troubleshooting/indexing/ Let me know how you get on Cheers, Vero
  21. Hi @David Hughes - This File Filter workflow refers to mail held in the ~/Library/Mail/ location on your Mac (as I'm using the same workflow, which works fine for me) so have you checked that this location on your Mac does contain your emails? If your emails are stored in a different location (which is possible, depending on which version of macOS you're using, or whether your emails are indeed stored locally) you may need to update the path in the File Filter, so that's the best place to start. Cheers, Vero
  22. @CCQ Thanks for your post - we're already aware of this and have made the change for the next release, as LinkedIn changed their search URL structure a few days ago, and don't forward the old one. The change will be included in the next release, but in the meantime, you can create a custom search and disable the default search. Just make sure to use {query} where you've put in <searchterms> in your example Cheers, Vero
  23. @johnhollister Welcome to the forum, John. A few things to check: - If you're seeing an input delay, is your Mac under heavy load? This discussion focuses on lag under heavy load, so I assume you're referring to the same thing? - In Features > Default Results, do you have external volumes in your search scope? - When you have a moment, I would recommend rebuilding your Mac's metadata index in case there's corruption in your index, causing the results to lag. You can do this in the Advanced preferences tab. Cheers, Vero
  24. @DeeK Is it any text field in Chrome or on particular websites? I'm wondering if you're testing somewhere that has particular scripting around the text field resulting in weird behaviour. With regards to HipChat, a few releases ago, we found that HipChat received the simulated key events for the text replacement, but processed them out of order. This is a bug in HipChat (possibly using a cross platform UI framework). However, for the one or two users who had reported it, slowing down key events was sufficient and everything worked as expected. If no snippets are appearing, launch Alfred's prefs to Snippets and check whether any red text appears, as in this Secure Input screenshot: https://www.alfredapp.com/help/troubleshooting/snippets/#secureinput This would mean that HipChat or something else is locking secure input, preventing Alfred and other apps from being able to perceive the typed characters and expanding your snippets. Cheers, Vero
  25. @BigTrees You can find out more about file filters here: https://www.alfredapp.com/help/workflows/inputs/file-filter/ You'll also find a few built-in examples and templates in Alfred's Workflows preferences. Pop by the Workflows tab, click the [+] in the bottom left, and add the two Examples called "Simple Folder Search" and "Dynamic File Search". The first shows you how to create a file filter that only returns folders as results, as well as how to use alternative actions. The second one is a more advanced file filter, which uses variables to dynamically set the search scope (e.g. dynamically decide you only want to search within your Documents folder this time). If you start creating your own workflows and you need a hand, you can find help in the "Workflow Help & Questions" section of the forum. Cheers, Vero
