Some of the files are just on my desktop. Others in the documents folder. Both are definitely in the alfred scope

I have tried both I'm afraid. To no avail

I have noticed now that Alfred just refuses to find some files. I type the files named into alfred, and there's no result. I copy & paste the name into spotlight, and it's the first and only one that comes up. This happens for a lot of tiles. Some old, some new. There doesn't seem to be a pattern. Sometimes, they will pop into alfred. But a few days later, Alfred can't find them again.

When I type a number into Contacts in OS X, it automatically formats it for me. For example, I type in 1234567890 It actually adds in dashes to make it 123-456-7890 This makes it very easy to read. However, when I show the number via Large Type on Alfred, it shows it without the format (e.g. as 1234567890). Is there any way to get Alfred to show the phone number with dashes? I use Alfred 2.0.5 w/ Power Pack on Mac OS X 10.8.4

Here's everything in Console that relates to Alfred. 5/3/13 11:53:33.517 AM Preview[507]: persistentIdForFileURL: file://localhost/Volumes/Seagate3TB_1/Documents/Setup%20Files/Apps%20-%20Mac/Alfred/key.pdf failed 5/3/13 11:53:33.539 AM Preview[507]: persistentIdForFileURL: file://localhost/Volumes/Seagate3TB_1/Documents/Setup%20Files/Apps%20-%20Mac/Alfred/key.pdf failed 5/3/13 12:07:08.553 PM Alfred 2[172]: [TIMER] 0.376994 seconds to initialise Alfred 5/3/13 12:08:41.875 PM Alfred 2[421]: [TIMER] 0.324301 seconds to initialise Alfred 5/3/13 12:08:55.638 PM Alfred 2[575]: [TIMER] 0.405798 seconds to initialise Alfred 5/3/13 12:09:40.284 PM Alfred 2[176]: [TIMER] 0.415413 seconds to initialise Alfred 5/3/13 12:12:29.090 PM Alfred 2[173]: [TIMER] 0.500356 seconds to initialise Alfred 5/4/13 12:03:06.657 AM Alfred 2[170]: [TIMER] 0.349162 seconds to initialise Alfred 5/4/13 12:05:10.906 AM Alfred 2[174]: [TIMER] 0.438954 seconds to initialise Alfred 5/4/13 12:13:32.538 AM Alfred 2[176]: [TIMER] 0.461078 seconds to initialise Alfred 5/4/13 12:25:38.229 AM Alfred Assistant[504]: Moving Alfred to /Applications 5/4/13 12:25:38.230 AM Alfred Assistant[504]: Looking for instances of Alfred to terminate... 5/4/13 12:25:38.239 AM Alfred Assistant[504]: No Alfred related apps found, great! 5/4/13 12:25:38.240 AM Alfred Assistant[504]: Working with app name 'Alfred 2.app' 5/4/13 12:25:38.340 AM Alfred Assistant[504]: Moving Alfred from '/private/var/folders/yv/9mlk1b3n3bgdc9h25t2cbjnm0000gn/T/TemporaryItems/(A Document Being Saved By Alfred Assistant)/Alfred 2.app' to '/Applications/Alfred 2.app' 5/4/13 12:25:38.341 AM Alfred Assistant[504]: Cleaning up temp folder 5/4/13 12:25:38.341 AM Alfred Assistant[504]: Restarting '/Applications/Alfred 2.app' 5/4/13 12:25:38.614 AM Alfred 2[505]: [TIMER] 0.181526 seconds to initialise Alfred 5/4/13 12:26:57.209 AM Alfred Assistant[530]: Restarting Alfred 5/4/13 12:26:57.210 AM Alfred Assistant[530]: Looking for instances of Alfred to terminate... 5/4/13 12:26:57.218 AM Alfred Assistant[530]: 2 Alfred related apps found, great! 5/4/13 12:26:57.218 AM Alfred Assistant[530]: Attempting to terminate '/Applications/Alfred 2.app' 5/4/13 12:26:57.220 AM Alfred Assistant[530]: Attempting to terminate '/Applications/Alfred 2.app/Contents/Preferences/Alfred Preferences.app' 5/4/13 12:26:57.622 AM Alfred Assistant[530]: Restarting '/Applications/Alfred 2.app' 5/4/13 12:26:58.004 AM Alfred 2[531]: [TIMER] 0.294185 seconds to initialise Alfred 5/4/13 1:52:02.183 AM Alfred 2[173]: [TIMER] 0.410636 seconds to initialise Alfred 5/4/13 1:54:37.510 AM Alfred 2[322]: [TIMER] 0.188703 seconds to initialise Alfred 5/4/13 10:36:13.083 AM loginwindow[62]: Login items - LSOpenApplication returned error -10660, url=/.Trashes/501/Alfred 2 1.54.27 AM.app 5/4/13 10:36:49.717 AM Alfred 2[290]: [TIMER] 0.157384 seconds to initialise Alfred Yes, I can find almost everything in the Documents or Downloads folder - not everything though. I noticed that there are some times that I can't find. It's strange - there doesn't seem to be a pattern of what files I can or cant find. As for Apps, I haven't tried finding every app, but there a few I can't find (e.g. Textedit). However, I would say that I can find the vast majority of files outside the Dropbox folder. On the other hand, I can't find a single app in my Dropbox folder - not one.

I am using Alfred 2.0.3 with Powerpack Until my current reinstallation of my Mac OS X (10.8.3), Alfred has been working great. However, since reinstalling my OS, Alfred has not been able to find any files in Dropbox. I can fine all other files. However, I am able to find all of my files - including Dropbox ones - in Spotlight. I tried both rebuilding Alfred application cache and the Spotlight index to no avail. I tried using the "'file_name" and the "in file_name" commands, but neither was able to find many files. However, Alfred can also find all of my apps. I tried reinstalling Alfred. I even specifically added Dropbox to the list of searched places

For some contacts, I have checked the "Company" checkbox in Address Book. In Address Book, they are sorted by their Company Name, even though I have also put in a First and Last Name for the contact. However, in Alfred, it always displays their First and Last Name. Is there any way to get Alfred to use the company name instead?

When I select a phone number from the Address Book in Alfred, I can se the query to "skype:{query}?call". This will make it so that when I press enter, it will call the number with Skype. If I want to send the phone number to LargeType, then I press CMD+L However, I want to reverse this. I just the LargeType option much more frequrntly. Is there a way so that when I press enter, it shows LargeType But when I press CMD+S, it calls with Skype?

I can able to find all my evernote notes in Spotlight. They also work in Alfred v1. However, in Alfred v2, I cannot find any of them. I'm not trying to use any extensions. Rather, I am simply trying to use the file search function in Alfred v2 as I did with Alfred v1

Yes. The option is there. But try and create a new folders your dropbox called "apps". The try and select that folder from Alfred preferences. You can't. The folders greyed out

no matter what I try, Alfred v2 wont index textedit. I tried rebuilding both Alfred's cache and the Spotlight index to no avail. Any ideas? EDIT: Actually, a lot more apps are missing. This is very strange because if I check the "search all file types" option, then the missing apps show up. For all apps, they show up fine in Spotlight.

I always keep all of my applications in sync by putting their settings in the "Apps" folder in Dropbox. However, I noticed that Alfred will not let me select that folder when I choose where to place the sync folder. I was able to do this on Alfred v1. It's just v2 that this happens. I wonder why this is?
