    eightygrit got a reaction from derico in Recent Items 4.3 beta 2 for Alfred 4: Finder Recent Items   
    I just want to offer a quick solution for anyone who happens to share my particular situation and is having trouble with this workflow. This only applies to you if you did a fresh install of Alfred 4 (the app, we aren't talking about your license) rather than an upgrade from Alfred 3. 
     
    I got a new mac and used it as a chance to do a fresh install of Alfred 4, which keeps workflows in a different directory than before, breaking several workflows that used to work just fine.
     
    Alfred 3 files:
    ~/Library/Application Support/Alfred 3 Alfred 4 files:
    ~/Library/Application Support/Alfred  
    ℹ️NOTE: If your computer already has the Alfred 3 directory, this solution is NOT for you.
     
     
    This workflow (and probably others like it) is using a hard coded path to the Alfred 3 directory and failing because it doesn't exist. 
     
    Fortunately the solution is quite simple. Open terminal and type the following command, AFTER you replace both instances of `USERNAME` with the name of your home directory.  Only use absolute paths for creating a symlink. 
     
    ln -s "/Users/USERNAME/Library/Application Support/Alfred" "/Users/USERNAME/Library/Application Support/Alfred 3" * Never trust code you get from strangers on the internet. Know your system. Know the command you're using. Don't use it if you aren't sure.
     
     
    Press [Enter] after you enter the command in terminal. If it looks like nothing happened in terminal, you did it right. Yay!  If you see a message, it's probably an error message, and ... you're on your own. 
     
    Hopefully this helps someone else.
     
    @Carlos-Sz - Thanks for the great workflow. It's easily one of my most used. 
     
    Cheers!
