    Vero got a reaction from href in Alfred stops activating after using the shortcut on any password field in Firefox   
    @href Could you please open Alfred's preferences to Appearance > Options (bottom of the themes sidebar), and check that the "Focusing" option at the bottom left is set to Standard mode, not Compatibility mode?
     
    Let me know how you get on.

    Vero got a reaction from Dan ODonovan in Removing workflow when syncing with GoogleDrive [Fixed 4.6.4 b1289 pre-release]   
    @Dan ODonovan You can manually remove a workflow by right-clicking it in the sidebar, revealing it in Finder and deleting it there.
     
    Google Drive isn't a suitable sync service for Alfred's preferences, so you may find you encounter other issues, such as your preferences not being available on startup, resulting in Alfred creating new preferences, or conflict resolution being rather poor if you've changed files on two Macs at the same time. I would encourage you to back up to Time Machine regularly if you choose to use GD to sync your preferences.

    Vero reacted to vitor in Trying to create a smart snippet to ignore weekends when forecasting date. Could someone please help?   
    The dynamic date placeholder doesn’t support that transformation; that would be too complex and it already does a ton as it is. You’ll need a little bit of code.

    Make a Workflow and add a Snippet Trigger. Connect it to a Run Script Action with default settings and the following code: 
     
    case "$(date +%A)" in Thursday | Friday) date -v +4d +%D;; Saturday) date -v +3d +%D;; *) date -v +2d +%D;; esac  
    Connect that to a Transform Utility set to Trim white space. Finally, connect that to a Copy to Clipboard Output (check Automatically paste to front most app). In it include your snippet text and use {query} where you want the date to show up.
     
    Basically what the code does is check the current day of the week, then add four days to the current date if it’s Thursday or Friday, three days if it’s Saturday; two days any other day.

    Vero got a reaction from gingerbeardman in "Alfred 4" needs to be updated �   
    @Chris Messina We've created a page to let users know what's happening; In short, and much as you and @deanishe have deduced, this is a notification from macOS that a workflow uses Python 2. Clicking "OK" makes it go away, the workflows work and you shouldn't be notified again.
     
    As this notification is being shown outside of Alfred, and somewhat opaquely by macOS, Alfred can't treat this scenario in the same way he does with PHP (which is essentially a missing binary). If python was missing altogether, you'd see the same kind of dialog you see with PHP. In all likelihood, we will add a warning dialog closer to the time this becomes a larger issue, but for now, click "OK" once and continue as usual.

    Vero got a reaction from iJemz in Find a file instantly after download   
    @iJemz Where do your files go when downloaded? Always in the Downloads folder?
     
    You could create a two-objects workflow to open your Downloads folder in Alfred's File Navigation, sorted by Last Modified (keyword + browse in Alfred)
     
    Or you could create a File Filter with a few paths in the search scope, sorted by Last Modified and perhaps with the date range limited to today so it's most focused? You could then type your keyword followed by either part of the name of the file if you remember what you're looking for, or just a space to get all relevant results from the most recent one.
     
    Let me know if you need help creating either of these workflow options
     
    As for Google Drive, an update by Google a few months ago has caused Spotlight and macOS to stop indexing the files. This workflow is an excellent workaround to this decision by Google and allows you to find your Google Drive files:

    Vero got a reaction from Bemawr in Changing FIle Type Sort Order   
    @Bemawr Alfred should bring your most-used results to the top, so there are a few things to look at here:
    Ensure you're up to date: Are you using Alfred 4.6.1? Open Alfred's preferences to Advanced and check that "Top Result Keyword Latching" is ticked. This is the feature that tells Alfred to learn from your usage and keyword choices. If the box was already checked, click the "Clear Knowledge" button, which will re-create the knowledge database Once you've done this, see if Alfred remembers your choices by, for example, typing "s" and selecting the second app in the list and pressing return. Do this 2-3 times, then see whether it appears above the original first result.

    Please be more specific rather than simply saying "not working" 
     
    * What you were doing when the issue happened
    * Whether you were able to replicate it a second time by performing the same action
    * Include any screenshots that might help us
    * For a workflow, check the workflow debugger for any error messages that could be helpful
    * Include the Alfred version & build number you are using (don't say "latest" - you'll find a version number in the Update tab of Alfred's preferences)
    * Include your macOS version
     
    The clearer the issue report, the more likely and easily we'll be able to help you resolve it.

    Vero got a reaction from Le Tien in Alfred 4.3 Pre-release: Big Sur Theming Improvements   
    Alfred 4.3 is now in pre-release with gorgeous improvements to theming.
     
    We've added the ability to choose a native macOS Visual Effect view to back Alfred's window, which makes it easy to create native-looking themes, as well as more control over rounded corners.
     
    We've created a couple of themes as examples, but I'm sure you'll create some fabulous themes too!
    Light Experimental theme Dark Experimental theme  
    Below are the key things to check out when creating themes in 4.3. Please read all the way to the end of this post for a few important notes!  
     
    1. Set your base Visual Effect to light or dark under the Window Blur icon in the top left of the theme preview
     

     
    This will define the base of your theme to be brighter or darker. The macOS Visual Effect view is designed to be used with no additional colour, however you can still set your theme's background colour, so you can get some really interesting tints.
     
    Your best bet to get a colour tint is to set the window colour, and turn down the opacity. In the included themes, the dark version has a low opacity black background set. The light theme has a low opacity white background set. An opacity of 30-35% seems to give the best readability in most situations.
     
    2. Rounded corners can be tweaked for the whole window, the search box and the selected result
     
    Hover over any corner of the field you're interested in and drag to set the corner roundness.
     
    3. A few important notes
     
    This feature is still in development, so there may be some more or less visible changes over the next little while The "Share on alfredapp.com" feature isn't yet suitable for these themes, as the site isn't set up to understand the new theme settings If you want to share your theme with a friend, use the "Export as file..." option instead. As usual, check out the change log in the Update tab of the preferences to see the full list of changes in this pre-release  
     And now for some pretty pictures, here are the two themes in their full glory!

    Vero got a reaction from Skone in All files not showing up in searches after switching to m1 MacBook Air   
    @Sam Tang Welcome to the forum. What @deanishe is saying in his very succinct response is that this has been answered many times in recent months and that the best first step when looking for answers is to use the search feature.
     
    Having said that, we've now created a step-by-step guide to troubleshooting this issue, which seems to be caused by a bug in the macOS Monterey Migration Assistant, resulting in files not being found when they should be. 
     
    Please take a look at this guide and follow the instructions carefully:
    https://www.alfredapp.com/help/troubleshooting/indexing/monterey/
     
    I'm confident this will solve your issue, but if for any reason, you still have indexing issues, please follow up in the relevant thread linked below. I'll now lock this thread to avoid splitting up the discussion of the same topic any further.

    @Nooblet Welcome to the forum  Which version of macOS are you using? If you're using Mojave and earlier, you should be able to get this workflow working.
     
    However, if you're on Catalina, it's not currently possible to search email; Apple have removed access for third-party apps to Mail.app results by excluding it from the Spotlight metadata that apps like Alfred can use to return results.
