The calculator should ignore commas
Andrew replied to cardmagic's topic in Alfred Feature Suggestions
You can configure this in Alfred's Features > Calculator preferences - thousand separators should be ignored by default depending on your OS X locale setup, but you can force this to commas too. Cheers, Andrew -
v1 versus v2 difference: Focus not returned to pre-Alfred trigger app
Andrew replied to ostertoaster's topic in Closed
I think making a request in the workflow help sub-forum would be a better place to start than in this sub-forum as you will get plenty more eyes on this issue... in many cases, you will indeed have somebody help create the workflow. -
v1 versus v2 difference: Focus not returned to pre-Alfred trigger app
Andrew replied to ostertoaster's topic in Closed
Have you tried simply creating a workflow to run that script directly? Workflows have a different deactivation mode to the default results. Cheers, Andrew -
Alfred workfow frequently doesn't find my file in specified folder
Andrew replied to cgbeige's topic in Discussion & Help
For one of the files which isn't being found, can you pop it into this tool so we can see the data: http://cachefly.alfredapp.com/tools/AlfredMetadataTool_v1.0.zip If you are having a file search issue, it's likely to be a misconfiguration or corruption in your OS X metadata and not a bug in Alfred, as file search is core to Alfred's inners and is essentially unchanged since launch so very established. I'm sure we'll be able to work out what's going on for you though Cheers, Andrew -
You can customise Alfred's terminal AppleScript or even create new workflow actions to perform specific actions such as this... it might be worth asking in the workflow help sub-forum instead of the bugs/investigating sub-forum as I'm sure some other users are already doing this By default, Alfred takes the most robust / predictable approach by opening a brand new window each time as that way, you can guarantee the state of the window rather than running a command in an unpredictable window.

Alfred not listing my apps after upgrade to v2.2 (243)
Andrew replied to AaronTraas's topic in Closed
Could you try manually adding in the path to the preference panes to the search scope... /System/Library/PreferencePanes/ -

Alfred 2's window / focus subsystem were changed by design so there isn't a bug in this area. If you had the Powerpack, you have better control over this and would be able to yield the focus differently. Cheers, Andrew -

Andrew replied to cgbeige's topic in Discussion & Help
Whenever you see any unreliability in file filters, a reindex of your OS X metadata will almost certainly fix it. There is a shortcut to rebuild the metadata index in Alfred's Advanced prefs. Alfred crafts queries differently to Spotlight, so you may see different results in Alfred and Spotlight if there is any corruption in the metadata index. Cheers, Andrew [moving to help sub-forum] -
Creating snippets from clipboard history
Andrew replied to CarlosNZ's topic in Alfred Feature Suggestions
Snippets will definitely get an overhaul in the future, I'm aware that it feels a bit clunky at the moment. Not quite yet though as there are many great Alfred things in development which are taking priority -
Alfred limits the typefaces to the available OS X themes as this brings the most predictability / consistency, especially when sharing the themes. This may change in the future thought, allowing for more arbitrary fonts.

The renaming categories issue is definitely a bug, I'll get that fixed in the next release. As for changing the category in the workflow edit sheet, this is by design as it makes sure the workflow you are editing remains selected when you hit save. The only guaranteed way of doing this is by resetting the search if the category has been changed - so I'm going to leave this behaviour as is. As you have spotted, you can use the popup menu for categorising en-masse. Cheers, Andrew

Version 2.2 (243) no longer displays apps from Xcode
Andrew replied to leods92's topic in Discussion & Help
Apple seems to sometimes stop recognising certain apps in this bundle (you'll find Spotlight doesn't find them either), so it's better to just use an Alfred workflow. With the Powerpack, you could use this workflow to launch those apps. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6749767/Alfred/Workflows/Xcode%20Applications.alfredworkflow If some preference panels aren't being found, you'll want to try first resetting Alfred's search scope in the Features > Default Results preferences, then reindexing OS X from the shortcut in Alfred's Advanced prefs Cheers, Andrew [moving to help sub-forum] -
Alfred actually has very little control over this, so it may just be a quirk of Notification Centre with the image to the right hand side. I'll move this to "noted" and if I get a moment, see if there is anything I can do to avoid this situation! Cheers, Andrew

it's actually just hard coded to Mail.app, but I agree that this isn't good. I'll pop in a ticket to make this dynamic to the default mail client

Alfred not listing my apps after upgrade to v2.2 (243)
Andrew replied to AaronTraas's topic in Closed
Apps is greyed out as it's always ticked (Apps included) and you can't untick it... could I see a bigger screenshot to see the search scope too? Could you also drop one of the apps which isn't being found into the metadata tool I mentioned: http://cachefly.alfredapp.com/tools/AlfredMetadataTool_v1.0.zip Cheers, Andrew -
Alfred simply passes a URL to OS X to open so it could be one of a few things... Are you using 1Password beta? In which case, Alfred and 1Password will need to be sharing the same data You can test this by adding a new login in 1Password and ensure it shows up in Alfred's 1Password integration automatically (within 10 seconds or so). The Chrome 1Password plugin may be acting up, try reinstalling the chrome browser plugin. Is it working fine in Safari? Cheers, Andrew

Andrew replied to AaronTraas's topic in Closed
Moving to closed as this isn't a bug... For other users, follow instructions above if you are having an issue after the Alfred 2.2 upgrade cleared his app cache. Also see this: http://support.alfredapp.com/kb:indexing -
Alfred not listing my apps after upgrade to v2.2 (243)
Andrew replied to AaronTraas's topic in Closed
Ah, checking /Applications was the first thing I replied to you and you said search scope was fine! You shouldn't need to drag a prefPane file in as that would be automatically included when Preference is ticked. Cheers, Andrew -

The metadata for Tweetbot looks ok... To rule out a metadata issue, could you create a new user account on your Mac, switch to that user and try from there?
