Why does Alfred not see this file, which I know exists?
wealthychef replied to wealthychef's topic in Discussion & Help
Interesting, thanks for the response. Led to the mother of all rabbit trails and I ended up installing a cool new plugin "Shimmering Obsidian". Thanks for the tip. -

Why does Alfred not see this file, which I know exists?
wealthychef replied to wealthychef's topic in Discussion & Help
Thank you. I must say, that's a surprising revelation that Alfred doesn't show files in its default results. Counterintuitive to say the least. What are people searching for if not files? I also just noticed there is a "find" keyword as well which also shows the Kenpo X file if I use it and matches what I expect a search dialog to do, which is search for files. Thanks for the help, I'll have to make a note of that as it's very strange behavior to my brain. -
Why does Alfred not see this file, which I know exists?
wealthychef replied to wealthychef's topic in Discussion & Help
Hi, thanks for the reply! This is not possible actually, as the shown items are the exhaustive list. I know this because I cannot scroll down like I can when the list is in fact longer. The rest of your answer does not seem to address my question. I don't want to narrow my search, I want to know why my file does not show up. Look at what happens when I search for the full file name, I get zero results. These names are copy/pasted from the Finder, so I know it's the correct name, and by the test I ran, I know the file exists. -

This happens all the time to me. I am trying to open a known file on my disk. It's located at "/Volumes/2_TB_SSD_external/Projects_2TB/fun/sports/exercise and fitness/Strength training/Beach Body/P90X/P90X workout videos/P90X 06 - Kenpo X.mp4". I want to avoid pawing through folders and just use Alfred to open it. When I type "Kenpo X" into the Alfred search, I get a bunch of irrelevant results and this file never shows up. I ran the diagnostics (see below) and it says this file should be in its scope. So why is it not showing up in results? Any help? Thanks! ``` Starting Diagnostics...

How to search Evernote? (Official instructions are wrong)
wealthychef replied to wealthychef's topic in Discussion & Help
Thanks for the pointer! I will check out that beta and see if I have better luck. I realize the enex format is weird, it’s basically a giant xml file. Yuck Appreciate the response -
Hello, I'm trying to add Evernote to my search result. I found this: https://www.alfredapp.com/help/troubleshooting/evernote/ which mentions two locations to add to my search path. Neither one exists on my mac. rcook@Richs-iMac (~ ): ls ~/Library/Containers/com.evernote.Evernote/ ls: /Users/rcook/Library/Containers/com.evernote.Evernote/: No such file or directory rcook@Richs-iMac (~ ): ls ~/Library/CoreData/com.evernote.Evernote ls: /Users/rcook/Library/CoreData/com.evernote.Evernote: No such file or directory Is there an updated set of instructions available? Thanks in advance for the help! (btw black lives matter)

Aha, I found the items farther down in the results list and it seems t be fixing the problem, thanks!

I'm running Catalina, I should have mentioned that, probably means all bets are off now that I think of it. Maybe it's the OS. Is Alfred Catalina friendly? I'm running Alfred 4.0.4 (1711) When I type "reload" it just finds The Matrix Reloaded on my hard drive. 😜

Every time I search for an app that I have installed, Alfred finds it in multiple places. Is this an artifact of some new file system etc? Because I also see a duplication of some disk information in my Disk Utility. What's up? Thanks for any help!

I'm getting the following error when trying to find an app on my hard drive. I use the Alfred interface, push the command key down and click on the app. This should reveal the app in the Finder. Instead, I get a dialog, hidden behind Alfred, so it makes it look like Alfred is hung, because I can't see it and cannot interact with the front window of Alfred. I'd upload a screen shot but your forum won't let me. So here is a movie on youtube: https://youtu.be/4Hkjp-Eop4s which shows the problem in all its glory. The dialog behind Alfred forces Alfred to hang. If I didn't have multiple desktops I'd be screwed here.

When I search for known files in Alfred, it fails to find them, as you can see in this image comparing Alfred's results with the Finder's results of a search for "yoga". The movies exist on an external drive, called /Volumes/2TB\ SSD\ encrypted/ I have added this volume to the Alfred preferences to be searched. I have reindexed the drive with the movies that Alfred does not see. What is going on? Thanks
