@Utawarerumono Your main Alfred hotkey shows as set to ⇧⌘= in your Diagnostics file.

Can you try changing the hotkey to something else as unique as possible so that it doesn't clash with a hotkey combo used by another app or macOS on your Mac, and see whether it behaves as expected?

You can also try creating a new user account on your Mac temporarily if you're not sure whether something installed on your main profile may be interfering.

Let me know how you get on

@pavelle A quick look at the 2017 post by @Jay S shows the workflow uses PHP, which Apple removed from macOS Monterey. You can read more about it here:

https://www.alfredapp.com/blog/releases/alfred-4-6-ready-for-macos-monterey/

Odds are reinstalling PHP via Homebrew will get you some of the way there, but the workflow doesn't appear to be maintained so if Wolfram Alpha itself has changed in the past 5 years, these changes won't be reflected in the workflow.

If you use node.js, there's another Wolfram workflow here:

@kps_po Welcome to the forum

Apple removed the Python 2 scripting language used by some workflow creators in Monterey 12.3, which is why these workflows stopped working. This post outlines how to resolve the issue, which should only take a few minutes:

Once you're up and running with Python 2, you can download the updated version of the workflow here:

And if you need any help or have any questions about this process, you can drop a post in this thread:

@k.m Welcome to the forum

Where are your preferences stored? Check your sync settings in Alfred's Advanced preferences.

Do you use any cache cleaner apps that may be deleting files behind the scenes on restart of your Mac or periodically?

@Utawarerumono Welcome to the forum  

Could you please provide your Diagnostics file, which you can get by typing "?diagnostics" into Alfred? You can then email it to our info@ address.

@rafpaff You can create a custom search like this:

https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=affinity+photo+{query}

This will keep "Affinity Photo" as a fixed search term + the query you want to add.

@rafpaff By design, snippets are set to not expand in Alfred itself, but if you want to change this, you can do so in Features > Snippets > Auto Expansion Options. 

You can then remove Alfred from the list of ignored apps, and you'll be able to expand snippets in Alfred.

@MacWorks In Alfred's Advanced preferences, as the post says. Open the preferences to the Advanced tab, and it'll be in the left column of options.

@MacWorks Yes, you can enable query history, and tell Alfred to keep your latest one visible for 5 minutes:

@rossbennett Yes, @vitor is correct - the command history is only temporary and won't be saved between restarts. 

I'll move this to Closed

Vero

@MakeLimeade You can disable "Copy to pasteboard on selection" in iTerm to stop this behaviour.

@terrencechen Thanks for the update. I'll move this to closed - but you can still post an update if you need any further help on this.

@alfredpanda Not to take away from the creator's own workflow, but if you're having issues with it, you may also want to consider our official TinyPNG workflow here:

https://www.alfredapp.com/blog/tips-and-tricks/tiny-png-workflow-compress-images/

@terrencechen Thanks for sending in your Diagnostics. After taking a look, the first aspect to check is whether there are hotkey clashes. This is most commonly seen when users pick Cmd + Space (which ends up clashing with Spotlight or language switching) but can happen with other combos like Ctrl + Space.

Do you have any other apps running in the background that may be using the same hotkey as your Alfred hotkey? What behaviour do you see if you change your Alfred hotkey to something obscure that's definitely not used by another app/service on your Mac?

The next thing to try is to temporarily create a new user account on your Mac, ensure that none of your custom background apps/tools are running, and check what behaviour you see on that profile. There's no need to activate your Powerpack when doing this. Testing on a new profile will help narrow down whether there's something interfering on your primary user account specifically.

Let me know how you get on

@LudoMC Indexing an external drive is by nature difficult; The index for it is held on your Mac, so every time your Mac connects, it needs to rebuild the index or is working from a potentially outdated/invalid index.

Your best bet to get to it without indexing is to use File Navigation to browse the drive: Open Alfred and type "/Volumes/" to start navigating to the right folder. You could also create shortcuts or a List Filter to automatically open certain paths in Alfred or Finder, rather than searching for them.

If you're able to get an index to work in a stable way from Spotlight, you could create a File Filter workflow to search the external volumes. This ensures that Alfred's default results (your apps, local folders, workflow keywords, etc) aren't hampered by the slow external volumes, yet you can get to it quickly with your File Filter keyword.

@LudoMC Reinstalling Alfred won't help, as the issue is a macOS one, not an Alfred one.

I've had a look at your Diagnostics and could you remove the two volumes you've added (ludo and video)?

@LudoMC Could you please provide your Diagnostics file, which you can get by typing "?diagnostics" into Alfred? You can then attach the file to an email to our info@ address.

I'm wondering whether you've got some paths in your search scope that may no longer be valid, and causing macOS to await results from those paths.

With the Diagnostics, I should be able to provide some more insight.

I also migrated from another Mac.

Could you please follow the same instructions I provided above, in that case?

Widen your search scope to work around the Monterey Migration Assistant bug, as per the guide here:

Does this work with alfred 4? Everytime I type r/, it shows browse reddit but it quickly changes to the fallback search options like google, amazon, wiki.

@m3lover1  It seems to be a Python workflow, so assuming you're using macOS Monterey 12.3+, take a look at this post on how to reinstall Python 2 after Apple removed it from macOS recently. It'll take you a few moments and you'll be good to go!

https://www.alfredapp.com/blog/guides-and-tutorials/python-2-workflows-on-macos-monterey-12-3/

You can then download the updated version of the workflow here:

@Druboi I've now tested this on a Monterey Mac (previously tested on Big Sur) and I can now see the fields issue you're seeing.

I'll add a ticket to sort this out for the next update

@fabio.velo Welcome to the forum  

You may benefit from resetting permissions, as macOS can sometimes lose track of the granted permissions, and going through the process again kicks it back into gear.

Here are the steps to re-grant permissions:

@Druboi Which version of Alfred and macOS are you using? I've played with various settings and am not able to replicate a scenario where the full column names aren't visible.

@terrencechen Welcome to the forum and thanks for the detailed report.

First, you say that you're on Monterey 12.2 - When using a new version of macOS, it's essential that you stay on top of updates, so please update macOS.

Next, could you open Alfred's preferences to Appearance > Options, and ensuring that Focusing is set to Standard, not Compatibility Mode.

Alfred hasn't changed in ways that could affect this, so have you installed any third-party software that could be interfering with the macOS focus recently?

If your issue persists, could you please email your Diagnostics file to our info@ address so that I can take a look at your configuration? You can get it by typing "?diagnostics" into Alfred.

Cheers,
Vero

@DSH Could you please share your workflow? (Pop it on Dropbox, transfer.sh or any other file sharing service)

Without knowing which version of Alfred, macOS, what workflow you're using, and when/how your results changed, it's not possible for us to guess what your current configuration is.  With more information, we should be able to point you in the right direction.
