Perfect, thanks for clearing that up! 👍

Sure, Alfred has moved something locally to the trash. But I can exclude the possibility that I actively deleted something.
 

I also generally don't use any questionable app cleaners.

It could be that an update was made when installing the external workflow and Alfred then disposed of the old files automatically?

I found out that there is a folder called "tasks" in my trash. This folder contains a large number of subfolders that all belong to Alfred in some way.

I previously installed a workflow via Github/Download.

Where do the folders/files come from and why are they in the trash?

Thank you!

@vitor Thanks for the quick response. I'm using Alfred 3.4 on macOS 10.12.5. But as far as I understand this workflow, the earlier discussed changes should not be necessary to download the "best" quality (which mostly is >720p)? Is it possible to provide a log or something that might help to understand why the download decides to choose the lower resolution version?

Using Alfred for years I only just found this workflow and I'm impressed how easy and great it works. But - and read the whole thread - all my youtube test downloads were downloaded in 720p and I have no idea why. Example: Big Buck Bunny in 4k

I found this comment but have no idea where I how I might need to modify something.

Thanks in advance and best regards!

If you change your home folder keycombo to ⇧⌘2 is it slower? if not then there is nothing with Alfred. Might be that you have a lot in your downloads folder.

You could try out opening different folders.

Thanks again and sorry for the late response. I must confess, to my shame, that I haven't tested this behavior enough and that the number of files/apps in the respective folder are causing the slower experience. My home folder has 13 objects (quick), my download folder around 90 (slower) and my program folder 130 (even slower). 

Even tough I'm convinced that opening the folder in v2 was quicker than in v3, the hotkey configuration has no influence to that.

Could you double click on your hotkeys and click the little command sign with an arrow up(or just right click in the window).

There check what you've set as Trigger behaviour. If its set to after release etc. That could be your time difference

Thanks! The Trigger behaviour is always set to this:

I tried the other options but unfortunately the there's no difference to before.

Hi there,

I'm aware that my 'problem' isn't that dramatic but I updated from V2 to V3 today and recognized that opening folders with a specific hotkey takes longer than before.

For example:

• ⇧⌘x opens my home folder --> nearly as quick as before (takes probably a little bit longer, but we're only talking about a fraction of a second)
• ⇧⌘2 opens my download folder --> takes half a second longer than ⇧⌘x
• ⇧⌘? opens my program folder --> also takes half a second longer than ⇧⌘x

My environment:

• Mac mini 2011, Evo 850 500GB
• 8 GB RAM
• 10.9.5
• German Keyboard
• Alfred 3.0, Build 652, Thursday 19th May

If any other information is needed, please let my know.

Thanks in advance and best regards
