After receiving an email from Frown-on-my-mac this morning, and realising textexpander was disabled. I was a bit stunned. Fortunately this thread and Daniel's web app (URL in his thread above) for converting my multitude of textexpander shortcuts to Alfred snippets - solved it - and worked a treat. First time, I lost all my folders, however by quickly re-outputting them all from inside textexpander I was able to maintain folder structure as well. Brilliant thank you.
