Thanks. I will look into those

Hello I have a bash script that creates a folder from a query and then moves a file into it. I recently modified it to check first whether the folder exists (and yes, I should have done that from the start). The script Exists with a message. I'm wondering whether I can change Play Sound and Notification to reflect whether the script exited early? ``` if [ -d "${query}" ]; then echo "Error: Directory '${query}' already exists." exit 1 else # Create the directory and navigate to it mkdir "${query}" cd "${query}" fi touch item.md mv /Users/jeremycherfas/Desktop/item.md item.md open . ```

Very true, and I shall do that, I was just hoping there might be an easier way. I have the hyper=key enabled, so I can use that as the modifier instead of command.

Is it possible to indicate that the Universal Actions Hot Key should not function within certain apps? I ask because I am tired of having the very common Text manipulation in BBEdit be grated out because they use ⌘/ and it would be simplest if I could just block Alfred from acting when I am in BBEdit. I don't really want to change the hot key in Alfred because I have it so memorised, but if that is the only option then that is what I will have to do. Thanks Jeremy

No you are. But it isn't really a contest any more because the problem kinda sorta solved itself. Until it happens again.

Yup. I had done ALL that. Still mystified.

This did not obviously work, but I went through the steps to move the preferences to local storage and get rid of the previous synced location. That did not work at first, but after restarting the machine everything seems to be back to normal. I'm guessing something must have become messed up with the synced preferences. They were in their own Alfred folder in Dropbox, not Dropbox/Apps but I expect that is not entirely immune. I hope the problem does not recur.

Many thanks for the suggestions. I can confirm that the problem occurs in all the apps I have tested (Byword, Textedit, BBEdit, mail in a browser) . I went through all the suggestions at the page @Stephen_C mentioned including resetting all permissions again and the prolem continues. I removed all other apps from Accessibility and that did not help. I'm going to try and restore preferences saved in Time Machine and see whether that helps, but at this point I am not hopeful. I have also downloaded and installed the workflow to save preferences, in the faint hope that it might be something about synced preferences, and maybe that will help going forward. Is there any point in deleting Alfred (I have 5.5) and installing everything afresh?

I have a few snippets that are supposed to paste text, simple things like a signature file. Recently, they paste only the most recent text copied to the clipboard. I went through and deleted all permissions and then re-granted them but it does not seem to have fixed the problem. Is there anything else I can try? Thanks.

Thanks Vitor. That's the kind of encouragement I was hoping for. I'll give it a try.

I have started to use Bike Outliner to, er, outline and there are a couple of Keyboard Maestro macros that make it possible to export from Bike to Markdown and import from Markdown to Bike. These are pretty complicated (to me), but it seems that the bulk of it is running Javascript. I know Alfred can run Javascript, so could I copy the Javascript alone to Alfred and trigger that? Any guidance to how to adapt KM to Alfred gratefully received. Thanks

Thank you very much for this. Works beautifully on Ventura.

Thanks for this; very useful.

Thanks for the suggestion. Done.

Done. Thanks for your guidance.
