Re: Issue with alfred:ignore in iCloud Drive

When I tag files or folders located in my iCloud folder with alfred:ignore, the colon is (almost) instantly is transformed to a forward slash -- alfred/ignore. 

This transformation seems to be due to iCloud Drive's syncing mechanism, as it doesn't occur with files/folders marked with the ".nosync" extension (excluding them from iCloud synchronization). The altered tag (alfred/ignore) then doesn't serve the intended purpose of excluding files from Alfred searches. It does however add "alfred/ignore" to my system tags.

Has anyone else experienced this or found a workaround?

Sincerely appreciate the fast fix. Thank you!

Appreciate the update, Vitor. Thank you.

I use the Amazon Suggest workflow fairly often and without issue. A few hours ago it functioned as expected. Now, for some reason, it returns the following error:

• The execution error: Error: SyntaxError: JSON Parse error: Unexpected EOF (-2700)

This results in no in-line suggestions, however hitting 'enter' will open Amazon and perform a search with whatever search terms I've entered.

Re-installing from the Gallery didn't resolve the issue. Suggestions?

Thanks so much @Vero, @vitor for the detailed explanations! Makes sense to me now. 🙂

Here's what I'm currently running:

- Alfred:  5.0.6

- macOS 13.2 (22D49)

I tested it again and have attached screen shots of each step. 

I'm losing all customizations when I update any workflow from Alfred Gallery.

Checked or unchecked "... Migrate my workflow customization" has no effect from what I can tell. 

If I download the updated workflow, upgrading goes perfectly.

Am I overlooking something to cause this?

Thanks! And apologies if this has been addressed elsewhere -- my searches turned up empty
