@macosdude Yes, you can select a snippet or clipboard item in the viewer and press Cmd + C to copy it to your current clipboard without pasting Cheers, Vero

Hi all, I've read this thread carefully and have been mulling it over this week. There are many reasons we're using IPBoard, and I figure it's only fair that I share our rationale for where we're at with the forum we've opted for. I'm also going to take this feedback and share it with IPB in the hope that they can understand the issues and the shortcomings of the editor, and make some essential improvements so that writing and editing posts is more straightforward. We moved from the cutesy-but-extremely-limited Get Satisfaction in 2013, which was a difficult process even at a time where the community was less than 1/20th what it is now; Content was lost, all the previously indexed links were no longer valid, users had to create new accounts, etc. Huge upheaval for everyone. Taking a look back, they've since been acquired by another company and their product has completely changed, so our hand would've been forced even if we hadn't left then. Moving to the established - if somewhat non-trendy - IPBoard meant we'd have a platform that had been around a long time and wasn't going to be sold to the highest bidder who'll acqui-hire the staff and gut the product for parts next month. Since 2013, it has proven to be reliably available, taking a minimal amount of time for me to keep updated behind the scenes. With the exception of a few colour scheme changes, it's a completely vanilla install, with no plugins, so that I can trust that I can do security updates quickly while most users are sleeping, without having to go through testing of every plugin, or causing unexpected downtime/issues. By keeping things as simple as possible, we can focus time on helping users, rather than troubleshooting issues with unsupported plugins, new releases, etc. as the forum is only one of the numerous aspects of running a software business Andrew and I have to juggle every day. We value your time too, as community members who volunteer their time to help fellow Alfred users, so I'll definitely have a more comprehensive chat with IPB to try to bring some of these improvements in. At this point, I can't promise anything, but I'll let you know what feedback I get from the IPBoard team. Cheers, Vero

@Bouzmine Welcome to the forum. Could you please share your workflow(s) or tell us more about them? Just to be clear, each fallback search you want to set up needs to have its own Fallback Search trigger in the preferences. To add a new Fallback Search object, you can right-click the workflow canvas and choose Trigger > Fallback Search, which you can then attach to the action you want to perform. Do this to create a new one, rather than editing an existing one. If I've misunderstood your issue, please provide more details and we'll be happy to help. Cheers, Vero

@OhneNik Welcome to the forum. Alfred's clipboard viewer doesn't manipulate other windows, so is it possible that there's a hotkey combination clash with your window manager? If you change the clipboard viewer's hotkey (under Features > Clipboard) to something drastically different temporarily, does the issue go away? Or if you quit the window manager or change/disable its hotkeys? Cheers, Vero

@lankysam Welcome to the forum! Could you please let me know which hotkey you're trying to use? If you change hotkey to something obscure and unlikely to be used by another app/service, is it faster? It's possible that the hotkey you've chosen is in use by something else which interferes with Alfred popping up normally. Also, when taking a look at Activity Monitor on your Mac, is your Mac running at an unusually high CPU load? Cheers, Vero

@MarkL In the left column, look under User Diagnostic Reports and System Diagnostic Reports. You'll likely have to click the triangle next to it to expand the list of crash logs. If there are any crash logs, this is where you'll find them.

@MarkL Welcome to the forum. Could you please let us know which version of Alfred you're using? Provided you're using the latest version of Alfred 3, and that you've downloaded it from https://www.alfredapp.com and not a third party source, your first bet bet is to take a look at the Console logs to see what's happening. If you can provide more details, it'll be easier for us to help you out. Cheers, Vero

@heyJoeCampbell Just updated the link Cheers, Vero

@terptime88 When snippets stop expanding, could you take a look at the Snippets preferences to see whether you see a Secure Input error message? https://www.alfredapp.com/help/troubleshooting/snippets/#secureinput The error message will indicate which app is hanging on to secure input, or at least whether that's the issue. In most cases, it's been down to a browser plugin (e.g. LastPass) which doesn't release secure input, or macOS getting itself confused. Restarting or logging out will clear the secure input. Cheers, Vero

@Alex Miller In that case, typing "image:" into the Clipboard History is likely the most efficient way as you can then just scan down the list and preview it. If you want to get to the actual files, go to ~/Library/Application Support/Alfred 3/Databases/clipboard.alfdb.data/ Cheers, Vero

@Alex Miller What exactly are you trying to achieve? If you type "image:" into the Clipboard History, you'll be able to narrow your search down to images only. (Use "file:" for file paths) Once you find the file in the Clipboard History, either press Return to paste it to your frontmost location or Cmd + C to copy it to your current clipboard, ready to use. While Alfred does store the images, they may not be in the format you're expecting, so it'd be helpful to understand what you're actually trying to do. Cheers, Vero

@lumpinipark Could you please fill in your Powerpack email address in your forum profile before asking for support with workflows? This is only visible to admins and allows us to confirm your Powerpack email address. Cheers, Vero

@Steve Ball Rather than including it as an Application (which it isn't), you can create a custom result for it via a workflow. Create a workflow and connect a keyword (no argument) with an Open File object containing the .webloc file. You can specify Chrome as the opening application there too if it isn't already your default browser. It's not too dissimilar to your custom search, but gives you a bit more control in terms of how it's opened. Cheers, Vero

Hi @Cqwte Could you pop an email to info@ with the crash logs from Console so that I can take a further look at this? Cheers, Vero

@mrtechnique Yes, this is a very simple workflow, so you could either view the list and move an item down to a "Done" list or delete the item. I tend to do the latter, so I didn't plan for a mechanism to mark as done. Some users have created far cleverer to do lists, or workflows that integrate with existing to-do list apps, so you can also look out for those Cheers, Vero

@mrtechnique Welcome to the forum! If you take a look at the "About This Workflow" notes (by clicking on the [x] in the top right of the workflow, you'll find the following info: This is also where you can change the path to a location of your choice. If you want to view the lists you're creating, typing the keyword "vtodo" into Alfred shows you the existing lists so that you can open the relevant one. Hope this helps Vero

@michaelg04 Welcome to the forum The link is working normally, so is it possible that you're on a network (e.g. a corporate network, coffee shop) or on a Mac where access to content delivery networks like Cachefly is restricted? Pop an email to info@ if you're still having issues with this after trying from a different internet connection or computer. Cheers, Vero

@deanishe Very true I suppose my workflows tend to be quite simple ones that only change in very rare cases, and are created on-the-fly as someone needs them. This particular link change is due to Dropbox's policy change (last year?) where the public folder became uhh no longer public. I'll likely pop all of mine on Github soon

Hi @jeromecarney - You're right, the link stopped working when Dropbox changed the way their shared URLs work. I've updated the link above and you can find it here too: https://www.dropbox.com/s/aa2y8morc97k5r3/Calendar search.alfredworkflow?dl=0 I've tested it from El Capitan up to High Sierra and it works great with Apple's built-in Calendar Cheers, Vero

@iJemz At what frequency is the Google spreadsheet updated? Do you have to use that source, or can you export it to use locally? If you can use it locally, create a CSV file, which you can then use with a List Filter where you can search or browse for particular terms and find its translated match. You can then add a Copy to Clipboard output to paste to the frontmost app when pressing return. Given how easy it is to drop in a CSV file, you could easily replace the list of terms periodically. Fellow users may come up with ideas on working with Google Spreadsheets, but I thought I'd suggest this as an alternative way of searching and locating your translations. Cheers, Vero

@Shraden Welcome to the forum. Please fill in your Powerpack email address in your forum profile before taking part in Powerpack-specific forum threads. This is only visible to admins, and allows us to confirm your registered email address. Cheers, Vero

Hi @andrewsleigh and welcome to the forum! Could you please let me know what your Alfred hotkey is set to, and whether you're on High Sierra? If it's Cmd + Space, it's likely that Siri on High Sierra is interfering with it. In the System Preferences for Siri, disable holding Cmd for Siri, as this is the most likely culprit. You can also check that in the Spotlight preferences, Cmd + Space isn't re-set for Spotlight and interfering. [Edited to add: And of course, make sure you're on the latest Alfred version (3.6.1 at this time) for full High Sierra compatibility.] Let me know if the above resolves the issue for you Cheers, Vero

@Gary King This sounds like a highly unusual and unexpected behaviour, so if you could provide answers to the few questions below, it might help work out what's happening on your Mac. :) Can you please share your file filter first, so that I can take a look? (you can send me a link privately if you'd prefer not to share it with fellow users) What file name and file type are you searching for? What's the exact query you type to search for it in Alfred outside of your file filter? Is this the first file filter workflow you've created? If you use another file filter (existing or new), do search results appear as expected? If you can think of anything else out of the ordinary either with your Mac and its data, or the files you're searching for, do let me know so that we can work out what's happening :) Cheers, Vero

@QuaCKeReD I'm not familiar with Resilio Sync, but this is the only non-standard element in your responses, so is the likely source of your issues. Could you please temporarily set your sync folder to a location on your local Mac, e.g. an Alfred folder in your Documents, then see whether you get the same behaviour? If this fixes your issue, it'll confirm that Resilio Sync isn't a suitable solution for syncing your preferences. We recommend Dropbox as the tried-and-tested way of syncing preferences, as files are stored locally on your Mac, and Dropbox copes admirably with file conflicts. On the other hand, we advise against using iCloud and Google Drive, which have proven to be unsuitable due to files being unavailable on startup (in GD's case) and both struggling with resolving file conflicts. More details here: https://www.alfredapp.com/help/advanced/sync/ Let us know how you get on. Cheers, Vero

@QuaCKeReD The logs above don't provide much insight into what's happening, so could you please answer these few questions? * Do you sync your preferences? If so, which services do you use and what path is set as your sync folder? * Which version of macOS and Alfred are you using? * Is there anything unusual about the setup of your Mac? E.g. User directory in a non-standard location, data on external/network drives. etc? * How long do you use your Mac after a restart before you see this issue again? When you open your preferences, do you see workflows populating the left sidebar of the Workflows section? As this isn't a common issue, the more information you can provide, the more likely we can help you establish exactly what's happening on your Mac Cheers, Vero
