A quick Google suggests it could be the Font Awesome Workflow?

Alfred's Knowledge is based on a rolling 4-weeks window, so results you selected six months ago won't have an impact on prioritisation. You can read a bit more detail about Alfred's results ordering here: https://www.alfredapp.com/help/kb/understanding-result-ordering/ @vitor then described the latching behaviour which is point 2 in the link above. If, out of those programs, there are some you don't want to see in results as they're unwanted installed apps (e.g. when Adobe installs so much nonsense extra stuff), you can drag those to Spotlight's Privacy tab, then type "reload" into Alfred, and those apps will be excluded altogether from results.

@tb12 Welcome to the forum. Could you be more specific? When the preferences are open, where are you trying to type? In a workflow configuration, the preferences search or the Alfred bar itself? Could you please provide your Diagnostics file, which you can get by typing "?diagnostics" into Alfred? You can then email them to our info@ address, including a link to this thread in your email, and I'll take a look at your particular configuration. Cheers, Vero

@Quicksilver Yes that's on the roadmap as the Gallery evolves

@ddosen Welcome to the forum. That's very strange, Alfred doesn't move or change your preferences in any way that could cause this. Here are a few possible causes: Are you using Dropbox? If so, did you recently allow an update to proceed which moves your Dropbox folder to CloudStorage? If so, you'll need to tell Alfred where your preferences have moved to in the Advanced preferences. If not Dropbox, what sync service are you using? Did you use an App Cleaner tool for any reason? These can be overzealous in removing essential files, and should be in your Trash Did you recently upgrade macOS? In any case, if you back up your preferences, e.g. via Time Machine, it should be easy to recover them. Cheers, Vero

@jesused As Vítor said, it's normal for the package to not show the latest date. This isn't a backup, it's the preferences that are used by Alfred in an ongoing manner. When showing package contents, you'll see subfolders with various dates, which is normal.

@M1m1s Does the issue exclusively occur in Microsoft Word? If you test it in TextEdit, do you get the same behaviour?

@LyleDiamondScripts In case it wasn't obvious from Vítor's reply, you have two options in a situation where there's a workflow you want to make significant changes to: 1. Keep the workflow as per the original, where you'll receive Gallery updates. Changes to keywords and hotkeys that are set will be retained if you check the "Migrate configurations" option. 2. Duplicate the workflow by right-clicking it, and change or remove the bundle ID so that it's no longer updated via the Gallery. You'll no longer receive updates but you'll also be able to modify the workflow as much as you want. Hope this helps

@LyleDiamondScripts I've double-checked that behaviour is as expected, and if you choose to migrate your customisations when importing, all hotkeys should remain present. Could you please let us know exactly which version of Alfred and macOS you're using?

@Sridhar Katakam @Bimmel Have you had a look at this issue on the workflow creator's Github? Looks like it might solve your issue: https://github.com/jaroslawhartman/TimeZones-Alfred/issues/55

@Carlitos10032 It sounds like you might have a hotkey conflict. If you change your hotkey combo to something more obscure and unlikely to be used by Spotlight or another app, do you see normal showing/hiding behaviour? If that's the case, take a look at this troubleshooting page: https://www.alfredapp.com/help/troubleshooting/cmd-space/ Once you've identified which app/tool is clashing with the Cmd + Space combo, you'll be able to use it for Alfred once again, and should see normal showing/hiding. Let us know how you get on

I'm also using Dropbox with the new location. Resetting the search scope to Applications and Home allows you to search Dropbox files just fine

@johnnyriss Welcome to the forum Echoing what @Stephen_C is saying, if your issue is specific to Dropbox, you may also want to set those Dropbox folders to be always available offline. Dropbox folders that become online-only (behind the scenes, potentially without you being aware) to save space may not be showing as normal files with full metadata, resulting in them being less predictably returned.

@machupchiu Welcome to the forum! Can you tell me where you're moving the file to? When moving to another location on your main drive, the file will be moved. If you're moving it to an external / network drive, it will be copied. We use the default AppleScript behaviour where "moving" to an external drive keeps the original file as a safety net, should something happen when moving the file to the external drive. When moving on the same disk, the reference is simply updated, and no file is actually physically moved and no file data is changed. When moving to an external drive, the physical file is written to the new drive and the new drive will report back that this is "successful", but there is a chance that the file has been written to some bad sectors and by automatically deleting this file from its origin, the file is now lost. This is essentially why Finder's default behaviour changes to copy (unless you force it with cmd), and AppleScript changes the move command to a copy command automatically. Having said that, you could create a script that moves and deletes the file, and add it as a Universal Action to replace the default "move to..." action, if you're comfortable with the underlying risk of a file disappearing if macOS fails to copy it correctly. Hope that makes sense

How funny Thanks for sharing! There's an Arc workflow to search tabs and space on the Gallery, should Arc browser users wish to use it: https://alfred.app/workflows/caicailiushui/arc-tabs-and-spaces/

@zkarj A little tip to follow on from Stephen's suggestion - Type "reload" into Alfred once you've added the alfred:ignore so that Alfred's app cache is refreshed instantly Another way to exclude apps is to drag them into Spotlight's Privacy tab. Again, type "reload" into Alfred if the app still appears in your results after adding it.

@Scott Goldman Sorry, it seems the OpenSearch and SearchAction section might've caused confusion. These are two separate ways websites can document their search structure using either the OpenSearch or SearchAction standard. You could use the first by clicking "Use" on the right if you wanted. Having said that, I also had a look and created a web search URL for you as follows: https://neeva.com/search?q={query} To get this, I did a web search on Neeva and replaced my search term with {query} You can then create the custom search, using the above as your URL. You can set the display text and search term as you wish. Once you've done that, go back to Features > Default Results, click "Setup fallback results", use the [+] and choose Neeva from the Custom Searches list. Remove any other default web searches you don't want to keep in the Fallbacks and save. Hope this helps!

@Scott Goldman I'm just happy to see you found your own solution so quickly 😄 Could you share the Neeva page you'd like to use as your search? Some sites aren't set up to be searchable easily (often by design) but if you share it, we might be able to help you get the URL you need.

Can't wait to see what everyone's favourites are... TinyPNG by @vitor : I use this one many times a day via a Universal Action to compress images. I have a bunch of File Filters set up for various folders on my Mac, whether it's art/personal projects, Alfred stuff, etc... They're a great time saver once you set a scope and a few file types. Yak Saver: I like using a pomodoro-like workflow to get me to focus on one project for 20 minutes, then take a break and so on. Paste as plain text from hotkey is the simplest of tasks, but invaluable. It's not the size of the workflow, it's what you do with it that matters!

@dburr For some users (but not all), Dropbox's change has caused an issue in the underlying macOS index scoping. If you're one of those who encounter this issue, you can work around it; Select the Alfred Preferences > Default Results > Search Scope > Reset... then select Reset to Applications and Home. This removes the Folders in Home option, and adds your home folder directly.

@bytesmiths Normally, when a user isn't able to expand snippets or paste from clipboard but the features appear enabled in Alfred's preferences, it's because of broken Accessibility permissions. You'll need to grant permissions here: https://www.alfredapp.com/help/getting-started/permissions/#integration If they already appear to have been previously granted, follow the steps to clear and re-grant them, as these most likely became corrupted during your upgrade: https://www.alfredapp.com/help/getting-started/permissions/#regrant This comes with the caveat that you're updating / maintaining your Mac in non-standard ways, so it's possible that your issues with permissions are coming from this.

For anyone looking for the workflow, it's available directly from Alfred Gallery: https://alfred.app/workflows/alfredapp/system-settings/

No need to check the Applications folder as it's included in the / scope already.

@Willian In a past beta version of iCloud, Apple had a "pin this folder" option so that only specific folders could be stored locally, but they removed this in the general release of the OS. As such, when using iCloud, all Apple offers is an all-or-nothing solution. Dropbox or any other sync service that allows you to keep files stored locally and is available immediately at startup would allow you to sync your preferences, but sounds like iCloud won't be the right solution in your specific scenario.

@oatflan Could you add Alfred manually by going to the System Preferences > Users & Groups > Your current user > Login Items? What happens if you add Alfred this way then restart your Mac?
