@BrianBarr Thanks for pointing that out, and thanks for the nudge @deanishe. I've now updated that link to point to the forum instead of the legacy Packal page. Cheers, Vero

Accessibility Need- Notes App Background Color Font Color
Vero replied to Windedhiker's topic in Themes
Hi @Windedhiker and welcome to the forum. Alfred's theming only affects what Alfred himself looks like, and doesn't control the Notes application's colour scheme. As far as theming Alfred, the "Alfred Dark" built-in theme uses white text on black background. Cheers, Vero- 7 replies

Alfred update sets "Launch Alfred at login" contrary to prior setting
Vero replied to Jim Ratliff's topic in Closed
Hi @Jim Ratliff, welcome to the forum and apologies for the slow reply to your post! I'd be interested to hear why you're choosing to manually launch Alfred after login; Have you previously experienced any issues with syncing your Alfred preferences, causing you to choose to not launch Alfred at login? Cheers, Vero -
Can't Reconnect after Deleting MacBook
Vero replied to ggarmo's topic in Remote Connection Troubleshooting
@ggarmo Could you please take a look at the Alfred Remote troubleshooting steps here? https://www.alfredapp.com/help/troubleshooting/remote/ Have you changed network since the first time you set up your connection successfully and this second attempt? Cheers, Vero -
Alfred does not find anything you haven't searched with Spotlight first
Vero replied to s95hc8's topic in Discussion & Help
@s95hc8 Take a look at the troubleshooting steps on the Indexing page here: https://www.alfredapp.com/help/troubleshooting/indexing/ If results aren't being returned from file searches, there's likely some corruption to your Mac's metadata index (even if Spotlight appears to return some results). Follow the steps to rebuild your Mac's index, and let it run until it's done, which can take up to an hour. [Edited to add: I notice that in a previous thread, you stated that you were using Onyx on a regular basis to manage your metadata index, so I would ensure that Onyx is not being run or used for a while, to ensure that this isn't having an unexpected impact on your index.] Once it's completed, type "reload" into Alfred to clear the application cache (which only affects apps, not general files, as the latter are not cached) and let us know how it goes. Cheers, Vero -
@Gautam Thanks for filling your details in The Clipboard History itself is considered to be temporary, local data, and there's no way to "star" a clipboard item as such. However, if you choose a Clipboard text item you want to keep and press Cmd + S, you'll be able to save it as a snippet. Not only will the snippet then be saved as part of your preferences, it'll also be synced between your Macs. You can keep a collection of snippets that's solely for the kind of "long term clipboard" items you have in mind. Pop up the Clipboard Viewer and type a few characters from that item to filter to it, rather than setting text expansion keywords for them. Cheers, Vero

@Steve Ball Have you tried restarting Chrome? We've had reports that after Chrome did its last background update, some users have been having slight behaviour issues with it (unrelated to Alfred) and restarting the browser was sufficient. Cheers, Vero

dictionary define action doesn't focus to dictionary.app
Vero replied to georgexsh's topic in Discussion & Help
@georgexsh This is a macOS shortcoming, which you would experience as well if you were to type "dict://hello" into Safari; MacOS doesn't change to the appropriate Space in that situation either. Resolving this is not as simple as Alfred launching the command to define the word, followed by bringing Dictionary to come into focus, as some users may be using the "dict://" URL scheme to launch a different dictionary application from the default macOS one. In that case, launching the word definition (in their chosen app) then bringing Dictionary into focus would create unwanted, confusing behaviour. Having said that, you can easily replace the "define" keyword with a small workflow that opens the "dict://{query}" in your default Dictionary, followed by an object launching the Dictionary app (which should bring you to the right Space if it's already launched). You can then disable the default "define" keyword in Features > Dictionary. I'm moving this to Discussion & Help, so let us know if you need any help creating the workflow described above Cheers, Vero -
@pontus While adding Notes as a built-in searchable feature has been on the cards for a long time, Apple constantly change the Notes data (e.g. used to be individual files, now is a single file in High Sierra) and its location. This makes it difficult for us to provide a reliable, stable feature to users on all OS versions when Apple keeps moving the goalposts. As such, it'll most likely always remain something that's searched via workflows, unless Apple starts to offer a public API we can rely on. Cheers, Vero

@jerman885 @altryne In case you hadn't noticed, the solution provided as a workflow here is by @Andrew (the creator of Alfred). As such, if the "lock" command is fixed in Alfred itself - which is likely to be the case - it would be identical to the workflow (but built into Alfred behind the scenes), so the most expedient way to resolve this for now is to replace the default "lock" keyword with Andrew's workflow Cheers, Vero

@AllDave Welcome to the forum! Could you please let me know which version of Alfred you're using? I have a vague recollection that this may have been the case in a very early version of Alfred, but certainly isn't an issue in Alfred 3. Please download Alfred 3 from https://www.alfredapp.com for the latest version Cheers, Vero

@DastardlyBacon Thanks for adding your details in How are you adding the action? I'm assuming that you're right-clicking the existing keyword and choosing "Insert After"? The "Insert After" is specifically there to add a new object in-line within a set of existing connected objects. You can right-click anywhere to show the list of objects, and choose the action you want to add. You can then manually connect it yourself as you see fit for your own workflow, by grabbing the handle at the end of the first object and dragging it to the left handle of the second object Cheers, Vero

"Eject" command dont stop USB external disk as finder do
Vero replied to georgexsh's topic in Discussion & Help
@georgexsh There's unfortunately not enough information to really establish why macOS isn't fully ejecting the external disk as it should. I left the discussion there in the hope some other users may be able to provide more insight. We haven't had any other reports of this kind of issue from other users, and we are unable to replicate the issue, so this area of the forum may be the best one for you to potentially get fellow users popping in with some ideas of why you might be seeing this specifically on your Mac. Cheers, Vero -
Clipboard: 'Auto paste on return' stopped working
Vero replied to adamvert's topic in Discussion & Help
@politicus I've re-read your description a few times and I think you may be misunderstanding the feature. Auto-paste simply means that when you select an item in your clipboard and press Return, the item is pasted right away to your frontmost application rather than just being copied back to your current clipboard. You still need to select the clipboard item. You seem to be confusing Clipboard Merge (where Cmd + C on the first item, and Cmd + C + C on the second item results in the second item being merged with the first one) and Auto-Paste when pressing the Return key. Once you've used Alt + Tab to change the focused app, you'll need to select the clipboard content to paste. Cheers, Vero -
Add anchors to subsections on all (more?) Alfred help pages

Add anchors to subsections on all (more?) Alfred help pages
Vero replied to deanishe's topic in Alfred Feature Suggestions
@deanishe Yes, some of the documentation could definitely do with more granular linking; Let me have some coffee and I'll aim to add a few extra anchors to that page specifically. If any other pages are tricky for you to link to, let me know and I'll take a look. My plan is to review documentation generally in the new year to look for any subtle changes in macOS or in Alfred that might need to be reflected, so I'll include reviewing anchors as part of this.

Ignore leading punctuation when searching snippets
Vero replied to tullyhansen's topic in Alfred Feature Suggestions
@tullyhansen You can also use a star as wildcard to match partial words, e.g. "*pet" will match "Snippet" Cheers, Vero
