  1. @Mogul Welcome to the forum Alfred doesn't use them randomly; He learns from your usage and associates the keyword you type to the result you choose. For example, if you typed "m" and chose Apple Maps a few times, Alfred will show Apple Maps when you type "m". If you then typed "maps" and chose Google Maps, Alfred will associate Google Maps to you typing "maps" in full. In other words, it's not just the full keyword you have set, but also how much of it you type before selecting it as the right result. You can find out more about how Alfred sets knowledge here: https://www.alfredapp.com/help/kb/understanding-result-ordering/ Cheers, Vero
  2. @mpusch Could you please paste this path into Alfred and take a look at the iTunes.alfdb? Is the last modified date current? ~/Library/Caches/com.runningwithcrayons.Alfred/ Next, please open Alfred's preferences to Features > Music > Advanced and click "Reset Music Library". Pop up the Mini Player and try using Random once again. If the issue persists, could you please send your iTunes.alfdb and your Diagnostics to our info@ address, including a reference link back to this thread for context? You can get your Diagnostics file by typing "?diagnostics" into Alfred and choosing "Export Diagnostics...". Cheers, Vero
  3. @mpusch Could you please open your System Settings > Privacy & Security > Automation > Alfred 5, and check that permission has been granted for Alfred 5 to control Music?
  4. @mpusch Welcome to the forum Could you please let us know: Version of Alfred Version of macOS Whether you have locally-stored music, an Apple Music subscription, etc? If you open the Music app in the background, do you see the new track appear at the top of the player, but it just doesn't start to play? If you can provide as much details as possible (e.g. did this work previously? Has it changed recently, perhaps after a macOS upgrade?), we'll help you get to the bottom of this. Cheers, Vero
  5. For anyone seeking a Lorem Ipsum workflow, this is a simple one with no dependencies by @alexchantastic which you can download from the Gallery: https://alfred.app/workflows/alexchantastic/lorem-ipsum/
  6. @Cipri You may want to post the issue to the workflow creator's own Github as they may have suggestions for you: https://github.com/zqzten/alfred-web-search-suggest
  7. @vijendra To clarify, Alfred does not handle the syncing, Dropbox does. If you've configured Dropbox / your Mac in an unusual way, or Dropbox is offloading the files in any way, this will cause the issue you're seeing. We're all here to help you resolve your issue, so I'd ask that you please follow the suggestion I made in my earlier post, which involves setting up a non-Dropbox sync location: Once you've done this, please get back to us. Share as much information as possible about your configuration if it's in any way non-standard so that we can help you get to the bottom of this quickly.
  8. @vijendra You specifically need to right-click the folder in which you store your preferences, and choose "Make available offline" from the Dropbox menu in Finder, in order for this to always be reflected in the way files are handled. Once you've done this, see whether you're still encountering the issue. If you are, please set your sync location to a local folder on your Mac (~/Alfred/ in your home folder, for example, not in an iCloud synced location like Documents or Desktop) and try again. This will help establish whether the issue you're seeing is the result of syncing.
  9. @vijendra The first thing to check is whether your Dropbox folder is set to keep preferences available offline: https://www.alfredapp.com/help/advanced/sync/#always-offline This is essential for Alfred to have reliable access to the preferences.
  10. @bucweat My previous reply was made after seeing your diagnostics, which looked normal. Sounds like you're all sorted now and everything is working normally?
  11. @RemcoV Could you share more details of which apps you're looking to create documents / links, and which options you want to choose? There may be better ways, such as AppleScript or using an API, instead of recording clicks, as this can be unreliable as apps and menus change over time.
  12. @MM00 You could create an "Open in Safari" universal action, which would allow you to tap the right arrow twice to open it in Safari (assuming that you have the universal actions ordering enabled in Features > Universal Actions > General) which is very quick, but still also gives you flexibility to use the URL in other ways via other actions if relevant.
  13. @MM00 There are so many possible ways to do what you have in mind, so here's the simplest solution: Install the Google Suggest workflow from the gallery: https://alfred.app/workflows/alfredapp/google-suggest/ Copy the default web search and set a modifier key (Option in this case) to open in your secondary browser, like in this example: I would suggest right-clicking the workflow name in the left sidebar, choosing "Edit Details" and changing the bundle ID, so that if we update the workflow in the Gallery, your changes aren't overwritten by the update.
  14. @bucweat Could you please launch Activity Monitor and check that you don't have two versions of Alfred running concurrently? This shouldn't be possible but there are corner cases where it can happen. My question related to your Mac more broadly, not to Alfred specifically. When using Migration Assistant to transfer data from a previous Mac or Time Machine, it's possible for permission issues to result from the transfer which can be exhibited by certain apps but are caused by macOS itself. Could that have happened when setting up your current Mac? Finally, if neither of the options above lead to an answer, resetting Alfred fully may be helpful. Open your Application Support folder and take a backup of your Alfred preferences. You'll find them in ~/Library/Application Support/Alfred/ and can put them somewhere safe for later. Once you've done this, use these reset instructions: https://www.alfredapp.com/help/troubleshooting/reset-alfred/ With this fresh set of preferences, see if you can replicate the issue you're seeing or whether it no longer happens. Once that's been worked out, we can look at bringing your original preferences in Cheers, Vero
  15. @universe Thank you for the kind words It's lovely to hear this!
  16. @TechDudeSF To add some specificity to @Stephen_C's reply, the relevant point for you will be this one: https://www.alfredapp.com/help/troubleshooting/snippets/#partial Slowing down key events will be imperceptible but allow a bit more time for the app you're using to finish deleting the keyword before Alfred pastes the content of the snippet.
  17. @zamboknee Could you please provide more details about what's not working with snippets? - If you launch TextEdit (a simple and native app, ideal for testing) and try to expand your snippet, what do you see? Does the keyword disappear, does the snippet content appear, do you hear an error beep? - If your snippet expands in TextEdit, in which apps do you see a different behaviour? - What is your snippet keyword? What is the content that should be pasted? The more information you provide, the easier it'll be for me to help troubleshoot what's happening on your Mac
  18. @p3av8r Could you please follow my suggestion from May 2023 asking you to create a new profile temporarily, activate your Powerpack license, and see if you're able to use it there? This will help us establish whether there may be a deeper permissions issue on your primary profile since, from what you describe (keyword doesn't disappear), it indicates that macOS hasn't granted Alfred accessibility.
  19. @MM00 Depending on your starting point, there are a few ways you can do this. If you're typing / pasting a full URL in Alfred, you can use the right arrow and the Universal Action "Open URL in..." and choose the alternative browser if you're using a web search, you could create a custom one via a workflow and specify the browser to use in this instance There are many ways to do this with just Alfred 5 installed, so if you share more details about how you're searching, we can help you out
  20. @Dan-Mulligan Welcome to the forum Without knowing your exact configuration, I can only guess that you've added documents/PDFs to your default results and your (external?) SSD to your default search scope. I'll make a few suggestions that might improve your search experience while answering your question. Previewing files: You can press the Shift key to take a look at the highlighted result in QuickLook. Browsing a folder: If you'd like to look at all files within a particular folder, press the right arrow to see the Actions that are available for your file. You can then reveal the folder in Finder, browse the folder in Alfred, etc... Creating a File Filter: If you often search for pdfs in a set of pre-defined folders, a File Filter workflow would save you time in browsing in folders that aren't relevant. Here's the guide to creating your own File Filter workflow. You'll also find some existing workflows on the Gallery, which you can use as a starting point to customise: Simple Folder Search Dynamic File Search Keep recent query history in Alfred: Open Alfred's preferences to Advanced, and check both the "Store typed query" and "Show latest query if within 5 minutes" so that if you close Alfred, you can pop the window back up and your search query will still be there. Hope these tips help!
  21. @luciano Thanks for confirming. At this point, as it's specific to RStudio, I would suggest contacting them as they might get a more conclusive answer of what clipboard behaviour is happening on their side. If you do get any relevant answers, I'd be grateful if you could share them as it could be helpful to other users I can see that there's been talk of RStudio and clipboard interaction in 2015 here, but the discussion was inconclusive: In the meantime, if it's causing you any hiccups, you can disable Alfred's Clipboard Merging under Features > Clipboard > Merging if you're not actively using the feature. Cheers, Vero
  22. @luciano Can you confirm that the Clipboard Merge only happens in that particular app? If that's the case, there will be *something* in RStudio, similar to the iTerm feature mentioned by Vítor above, that results in RStudio triggering a copy. This could be on selecting, or could be on using Cmd + C, so take a look at preferences and menus for anything referring to a Cmd + C action in RStudio.
  23. @luciano This happens in a few apps that also have their own clipboard copy mechanism. When you select text in RStudio, do you notice it being copied to clipboard? You can either look for that feature in RStudio's preferences and disable it, or disable Clipboard Merging if it's not a feature you're keen to use. If you find this option in RStudio, it'd be great if you could share it as it may be helpful to other users in the future
  24. @Rudy Welcome to the forum When asking a question about a workflow, the best thing to do is to look for the existing official thread for the workflow, which in this case might be this: If you're referring to a different workflow, please link to the original source or share it if it's your own workflow. Next, please include any additional information you can, such as your version of Alfred, macOS and relevant apps like Obsidian, as it's otherwise tricky for us to know what combination you're using. And finally, please take a look at the debugger in case it can provide any additional relevant information: https://www.alfredapp.com/help/workflows/advanced/debugger/
  25. @Kamil Do you use light mode in the day and dark mode at night, automatically switching in macOS? If so, the solution I suggested is the right one. If you arbitrarily want the theme to change, without relation to macOS Light/Dark mode, you could use the Switch Appearance workflow and trigger it manually, or use an external trigger to switch at a time that suits your needs: https://alfred.app/workflows/alfredapp/switch-appearance/
