  1. Note added December 14th:  After the latest MacOS update (10.13.2), everything now works like before.  The problem was therefore definitely with the initial High Sierra versions.  Thanks again for a great tool!

     

     

     

    I've had some of those issues ever since I upgraded to High Sierra.  Contacted this forum on November 16th and was told to Clear Application Cache and rebuild macOSMetadata (checking Delete /.Spotlight-V100), but unfortunately it still did not work as before.  I frequently use directory "2017" and all of a sudden Alfred would not find it (but that was the first one at the top of the list before).  I just tried the latest (beta) version of Alfred, and now Open File does not seem to be available at all.  I've been using the shortcut as before (Alt-Space, then Space).  I've rebuilt again the macOS Metadata, but to no avail.  I do see that spotlight finds the "2017" directory, but unfortunately that doesn't seem to affect Alfred.  Included are a screenshot of Spotlight (with a search on "2017"), as well as a screenshot of Alfred (same search, on "2017").

     

    I suppose the problem lies somewhere in the spotlight database or its access, since the problem started with the OS update...

     

    I really appreciate Alfred, it's been an incredible tool for me!  Thanks a lot for that great piece of software!

  2. I recently updated to Alfred 3.5.1 (Build 883, Wednesday 18th October 2017), and to MacOS High Sierra (10.13.1).  It appears the search feature linking Alfred to Spotlight doesn't work as before:

     

    I frequently refer to a directory doc (in Macintosh HD/Users/MyUserLogin/some_directory/doc).  It used to appear on top of my Alfred Search (Alt-Space, Space), but it no longer appears anywhere in the list which I'm presented.  However, Spotlight does show that directory in its own list.  I did Clear the Application Cache and Rebuild macos Metadata, making sure I checked "Delete ./Spotlight-V100" before proceeding.  I'm including a screenshot of the list presented by Alfred, together with one of what Spotlight does show.  I'm including a screenshot of the file search setup (which I haven't changed since I installed Alfred months ago).

     

    Thanks!
