Clipboard History's Auto-paste stops working
gingerbeardman replied to gingerbeardman's topic in Closed
It's the first time this has ever happened. Happy to ignore. -
Features > Clipboard History > Advanced > Auto-paste on return Stopped doing what it should all of a sudden in 5.5 [2257] I restarted Alfred and it started working again. This is a first for me.

Screenshots — Search and act on screenshots
gingerbeardman replied to vitor's topic in Share your Workflows
This seems really useful. Is there any chance we can add a custom directory? For decades now all my screenshots are sorted into daily folders in my downloads folder. So, I would set it to search Downloads (and sub folders) instead of Desktop. -
Thanks so much! I think there are some crossed wires in this, so let me summarise: workflow used to be very fast almost instant at some point it has become slow (Sonoma? I came straight from Monterey) I'm using only the option "Only show apps in /Applications" the mdfind part is instant (I mistakenly said mds earlier, sorry) ~1000 apps reported in a fraction of a second the slow part is the xattr call which is taking 0.023 seconds per app on my machine, which for 1000 apps is the ~23 seconds So I'm going to look into parallel-ising the xattr loop.

That works, it took 27 seconds to find 57 of 986 apps. I'm not sure I ever gave the old version that long, as it used to take only a few seconds at most before something changed. Logging grows by ~40 lines per second on my machine, which feels slow. Nothing untoward in there, apps listed are as expected. I notice that when you close the alfred window the mds command keeps running. So if I invoke rq multiple times (for example when I think it's not working, oops) then there will be multiple scans happening at once. Can that be avoided? The mdfind is aspect is pretty much instant, as confirmed on the command line. So the slow bit is the checking? Which is surprising. Maybe the use of osascript for the app_as_json function is slow?

Sorry I totally missed the notification for this reply. No idea how. I think the above download has expired. I have both "only /Applications" (since you added it for me) and "Ignore signed/notarised" on (since the workflow stopped working). I think maybe it stopped working when I upgraded from Monterey to Sonoma. I skipped Ventura. Nothing showing in debug log of Alfred for the existing version.

System Settings — Open macOS System Settings Panes
gingerbeardman replied to vitor's topic in Share your Workflows
Thanks, that's fine, they have started rising to the top as I've been using them. This is a great source of these deep urls: https://gist.github.com/rmcdongit/f66ff91e0dad78d4d6346a75ded4b751 just in case there are any "missing". -
The workaround I've settled on for this is to make macOS treat the non-retina display as retina, by forcing the Scale to be 2x (rather than 1x). There are pros and cons to this approach, but it solves many visual problems so I'd say "it works for me". YMMV https://blog.gingerbeardman.com/2024/01/25/running-modern-macos-on-non-retina-displays/

System Settings — Open macOS System Settings Panes
gingerbeardman replied to vitor's topic in Share your Workflows
This is really great. One question: is it possible to give results from this workflow preference over all other results? -
This is really useful, thanks! Any chance to be able to configure so that HEX values are returned as 0xAB rather than AB? There might be similar prefix for Octal, but I don't know it

I've also submitted feedback. via feedback link and feedback assistant. FB13536508 The reason I tried disabling is because on non-retina displays (i use an external display of 1920x1200 as my main display) the new cursor is twice as wide as it is on my laptop retina display. This means it's mistakable for a selected space character and it also obscures neighbouring text. @Hedgehog your genius hammerspoon workaround is fantastic - using it for Alfred and Ulysses. Cheers!

Since 2023.2 this is really slow to list results for me (~6 seconds every time). It used to be pretty much instant. It also now lists results that aren't really Mac apps. Can I limit it to /Applications folder (and its subfolders)? edit: I spent some time removing quarantine from all search results. now it's quicker, but i'd still like to limit to /Applications

I recently updated from 4.0.2 to 4.0.5 and also didn't get any error saying my API key was missing. I was previously using a key for the service that was removed. Anyway, it's easily solved but was very annoying to waste time fixing what was already working. I'll try to find time to file a PR to fix the issue.

OK, it is a curious one!

A quick google of the exception in the crash report gives this: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/696460 which has an answer from Quinn “The Eskimo!” that leads here: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/security/updating_mac_software

The crash report from Console is already at the pastebin link above but i've emailed it just now. Original filename was: Alfred-2023-09-28-133239.ips I'll stay on this version to see if it happens again. No worries.
