@Andrew thank you for taking the time to reply. I did try the steps that you suggested, but still did not have any luck getting the snippets to insert reliably in InDesign. I noticed that smaller snippet triggers seemed to work more often than those that were longer. If there is anything else I can try, please let me know, but I realize there is probably only so much you can do from your end.

As a side note, the dictionary functionality in Alfred is really helpful!

Thanks again,

Jason

As an additional note, I have noticed that on rare occasions, the snippets are now being replaced by the text in InDesign CC 2018. Any other thoughts???

Adobe CC 2018 apps were released yesterday. I have noticed that the problem still exists in InDesign 2018.

It would be helpful for snippet triggers to also appear in the snippet viewer, as many of my snippets use scripts.

Hi Vero,

Thank you very much for your reply.

• When I type the snippet keyword, it is not deleted in these applications.
• The snippet is never replaced by the text, and I do not hear an error sound.
• I also do not see a red error message in Alfred preferences when these applications are in focus.

Changing the preferences for these applications, including unchecking the "Include SVG Code", as you suggested trying, did not, unfortunately, appear to make any difference.

I have a love/hate relationship with the Adobe applications and do know they have their idiosyncrasies :). I appreciate you taking the time to try and help.

I know this issue has been brought up on the Alfred forums previously with no resolution. Has anyone managed to find a way to have snippets automatically expand in Adobe Illustrator CC 2017 and Adobe InDesign CC 2017? I am currently using MacOS High Sierra. Text expansion is working in Adobe Photoshop CC 2017. I am evaluating whether I can use Alfred as a replacement for Text Expander, which does perform snippet expansion correctly in these applications. I am, of course, a Powerpack user.

Hi,

I am new to Alfred, so please excuse me if this question has already been asked. I am creating some workflow snippets that use JavaScript and PHP and a snippet trigger. Is there any way to include these in the snippet viewer like regular snippets?

Thanks in advance,

Jason
