THIS ISSUE IS HAPPENING ON TWO DIFFERENT MACS:
mac pro 2009 - yosemite 10.10.5, alfred 2.8.4
macbook pro mid 2015 - el capitan 10.11.5, alfred 2.8.4
Hello,
I recently switched over to Alfred from launchbar, and also purchased the powerpack
the issue i'm having has to do with opening recent documents as I've set up alfred to allow for this by hitting the right arrow twice once I've found the app i'm looking for.
At first it worked beautifully. But out of nowhere the recent items are disappearing from the submenu.
so for instance, I have a document in numbers called "budget". It used to be that if i hit "command-space" to bring up alfred, then type "num" it would show me "numbers". then I'd hit the right arrow twice and i would see the document there in the sub menu and hit "enter" to launch it.
but some time ago the sub menu that has the recent items started showing up either completely empty or missing items that i launch all the time. to be clear: the main apps always come up just fine when I hit “command-space”, it’s only the recent items in the sub menu that are an issue.
Once launched, I checked to see if the recent items were available in the app itself. The two computers have a slightly different result.
And the issue is not consistent across apps. Some apps (like text edit) have all of my recent docs available in both alfred and the app itself. but others, most specifically numbers, do not (but it’s not just numbers).
on the older mac pro, the issue is much more prevalent , where the most recent items are not available in either alfred or the app itself
on the newer macbook pro i find that while alfred consistently does not offer the most recent apps (similar to the mac pro), many of the apps themselves do in fact have the most recent items listed there
this started only after installing alfred - it was completely fine prior to install
any help would be greatly appreciated.
