@deanishe If you take a look at my reply from earlier on, the issue with Google Docs is that it adds an extra line break when pasting (which isn't included in the snippet itself), which Alfred can't know about. No amount of delay will help if Google Docs is adding line breaks. Cheers, Vero

@ron.stewart If you want to exclude these VMWare Fusion results from Spotlight and Alfred, drag them to the Spotlight Privacy tab. This will exclude them from results altogether, ensuring they don't clutter your results. Cheers, Vero

Hi @centell Welcome to the forum! If you're having issues finding apps or files on your Mac, please take a look at the indexing troubleshooting page next time: https://www.alfredapp.com/help/troubleshooting/indexing/ It's likely that you'll simply need to rebuild your Mac's index, if results aren't showing reliably. Cheers, Vero

@ron.stewart Alfred uses the Display Name in the metadata for the app. If you take a look at the metadata for the two example apps you referred to (iTerm and iTunes), you'll likely find that one includes .app in the display name and not the other. You may find that reindexing will fix that; If you just want to reindex your apps, you can drag the Applications folder to Spotlight's Privacy tab, wait 30 seconds, drag the folder out, wait another 30 seconds, then type "reload" in Alfred to refresh Alfred's cached index. Cheers, Vero

@eibrahim Could you share links of specific workflows you're trying to use so that we can help you more precisely, or point you in the right direction? You can remove any workflow you don't want to use by right-clicking the name of a workflow in the sidebar and choosing "Delete". Cheers, Vero

Hi @eibrahim Welcome to the forum! You'll only see this behaviour when a workflow creator has hard-coded the folder path (e.g. when they created the workflow originally for Alfred 2), as Alfred otherwise respects the version you're using, creating the folder in the right place. First, I'd recommend searching on the forum for a newer version of the workflow, as many have been updated to Alfred 3 at some stage, but not all workflow creators necessarily use Packal these days (as this was a user-created website which is no longer actively maintained). Alternatively, you can simply create the folder the workflow is looking for manually, which will also resolve the issue you're seeing. Cheers, Vero

@Alexis Could you please try setting your sync folder to somewhere local (E.g. your Desktop or Documents folder) and see whether your preferences and Alfred behave normally? In other words, if you launch the preferences, what you see in the prefs should match what you see in Alfred itself in terms of keywords, hotkeys, etc. It's likely that CloudMounter isn't suitable for storing your preferences. Cheers, Vero

Hi @Alexis and welcome to the forum Could you please try restarting your Mac as a first step? I can see you've got the Dropbox installer on your desktop - Have you just installed Dropbox? When setting up syncing on a second Mac (or on a new Mac where you intend to use previously set up and synced prefs), it's essential that you give Dropbox sufficient time to finish downloading everything from your Dropbox online data before setting your Alfred sync folder. Otherwise, if there are no existing Alfred preferences, a new set of preferences will be created, potentially creating a sync conflict in Dropbox. If the issue is the latter, your best bet will be to look at an older Time Machine backup to recover your preferences. Cheers, Vero

@Placehold Welcome to the forum Could you please fill in your Powerpack email address in your forum profile before asking Workflow-related questions? Cheers, Vero

@psicologo First, check which workflow version you're using. You can grab the latest one from the link @vitor provided, or from Github: https://github.com/surrealroad/alfred-reminders/releases/tag/v74 I don't believe @surrealroad is maintaining the Packal version any longer, so that thread is your best starting point. I'm using the latest version of the workflow and it seems to be working fine Cheers, Vero

@jmvidal As it's Evernote itself that's crashing, and not Alfred, I would suggest dropping them a line to report this. While in this particular scenario, it crashes following you using a workflow, in reality, all Alfred is doing is performing a search using AppleScript. I'm using Evernote 6.11 and not seeing any issues with that same script, so it'd be worth finding out if they've changed their AppleScript support in the beta. Cheers, Vero

I thought I'd chime in here, though Dean and Vitor have essentially answered the question We're a small team (Andrew and I, plus the cats - though I'm still not sure what their job is!) and we've focused our time and effort on developing the best software possible, as well as taking care of our community here, on Twitter, by email, etc. As such, while we are keen to create videos, maintaining written documentation (of which there is plenty on our help site!) is much easier to update when a feature changes subtly or completely, it's more searchable and far quicker to create than video. I love video production, so hopefully the opportunity will arise, but in the meantime, if your area of interest is Alfred's workflows, ScreenCasts Online have recently produced an Alfred 3 & Workflows video, which you can find here: https://screencastsonline.com/mac/show/0643/ Cheers, Vero

@moritzholzinger Welcome to the forum Pop Alfred's preferences open to the Advanced preferences, and check "Store query history" and "show history if within 5 minutes" and you'll be good to go! Cheers, Vero

Hi @carlsen Welcome to the forum! As I can see from your screenshot that you're a Powerpack user, could you please fill in your Powerpack email address in your forum profile? This is only visible to admins, but allows us to confirm your Powerpack status. I'll then be happy to help you out further. Cheers, Vero

@Jasondm007 I've had a look around, and it doesn't seem possible to show the result in Mail within its conversation, based on what Mail itself allows. For the message recency side of things, I'd suggest copying one of the existing filters within the workflow, and adding a Date Range: This won't necessarily show the messages in date order, but will exclude anything older than the date range you select, making results cleaner for you. Cheers, Vero

@Tom Barbaro Has your Clipboard History been stable since our last exchange?

@Shashank Please fill in your Powerpack email address in your forum profile, so that I can confirm your Powerpack status, and I'll then be happy to help you further with workflows-related questions. Cheers, Vero

@Shashank Welcome to the forum! It sounds like there might be some corruption your Mac or with the download, as you should only ever have to give access to your Contacts once, and it'll be remembered in your preferences. Delete Alfred from your Applications folder and follow these steps to remove all Alfred preferences: https://www.alfredapp.com/help/troubleshooting/reset-alfred/ Once you've done this, download Alfred from this link to get started from fresh: https://cachefly.alfredapp.com/Alfred_3.4.1_860.dmg Cheers, Vero

@kurto Right-click on a snippet and choose "Move to...", and choose the destination collection Cheers, Vero

Hi @Tom Barbaro and welcome to the forum! It sounds like your Clipboard History database may have been deleted, resulting in your copied data disappearing. Restarting Alfred would have then resulted in a new clipboard database being created. Are you using any third-party cleanup tools who may have treated Alfred's clipboard database as a temporary cache and decided to delete it? Alternatively, did you change which Alfred preferences Alfred is pointing to using the sync feature in the Advanced prefs? Cheers, Vero

@nikivi It's difficult to understand exactly what's happening without an actual explanation, but by "bugging out", do you mean that the Alfred window loses focus before you've pressed return or chosen your item from the list? If I interpret correctly what you're trying to show, it looks like something is stealing focus from Alfred. As far as the List Filter object goes, there's nothing special about it, so there's no reason for it to disappear before you make your selection. Have you tried running your workflow on a completely fresh user account/Mac? I can't see your Mac's menu bar in the screen capture, but please take a look at the apps and menubar tools you're using, just in case one of these is trying to take over focus? Temporarily disable anything non-essential in Accessibility and any keyboard modifiers. Cheers, Vero

Hi @kodiak and welcome to the forum! The Powerpack includes a vast number of features that Spotlight doesn't touch on; Clipboard History and Snippet text expansion, the workflows framework which allows you to create your own plus a wealth of workflows created by community members, file navigation and file actions, and much more! Quite a few of these already exist in Alfred, so here are a few answers and helpful links: There are numerous wonderful currency and measurement conversion workflows available to do exactly this By using workflows, it gives you flexibility as each workflow can get data from different sources so you can pick the one you prefer. Don't hesitate to actually try things in Alfred - You can do exactly that. There's also an advanced calculator (see Features > Calculator for details) Type "define" or "spell" in Alfred followed by your search term and you'll see results in-line. More details under Features > Dictionary. By design, we decided not to include all of the keywords Apple include in the metadata for System Preferences. For example, here are the keywords for the "Desktop & Screen Saver" System Prefs: com_apple_system_prefs_keywords = "photographs background desktop wallpaper pattern customize photos pictures desk top wall paper customized customizing customization Desktop picture passwords lock disable start feeds news headlines iTunes albums art random screensavers newsfeeds pass words locking disabling starting Screen saver active screen corners Hot Show clock with" It's a complete mess of irrelevant keywords, and it'd be far more frustrating to have Desktop & Screensaver as a suggested result for "news", "itunes" or "art"! Having said that, you can add keywords for apps for your own use by simply creating a workflow with a keyword connected to the app you want to launch. It takes two seconds, and it's far more focused to your own needs. https://www.alfredapp.com/help/workflows/inputs/keyword/ This relates to Finder behaviour rather than Alfred; Finder lets you say that you want things to open in new tabs instead of new windows, but in my experience, depending on the version of macOS you're using, this is more or less reliable. Hope this answers a few of your questions; I would suggest taking a look at Alfred's Features, and clicking the question mark in the corner to see the documentation for each feature Cheers, Vero

@hfr Take a look at Alfred's built-in workflows by going to the Workflows tab, clicking on the [+] at the bottom of the sidebar, and choosing Templates > Clipboard > Paste as plain text from hotkey. All you need to do is set your hotkey! This workflow should do what you need, just in case you prefer to use the built-in option Cheers, Vero

@threezerotwo Yep, workflow works absolutely fine, and looks completely standard. As per @deanishe's questions, it's likely to be an external factor, such as keyboard modifiers, causing a mix-up. You mentioned you're using Alfred 3.4.1; Just in case you're using this workflow on more than one Mac and one is on an older version, make sure you update to 3.4.1, as LinkedIn changed their URL structure fairly recently, and we updated accordingly. Could you provide more details if the above doesn't help? - What hotkeys are you setting? - Are you using any third-party keyboard modifiers? - What's in your clipboard at the time of using the hotkey? - What behaviour are you seeing? Nothing launching at all (e.g. hearing the error sound?), browser not loading the correct page, etc? The more info you provide, the easier we can help you work out what's happening Cheers, Vero

@threezerotwo Could you share your workflow again? I've tested it myself and it works perfectly fine once Excel is removed from the Related apps Cheers, Vero
