Hi Vero, not sure how it happened but all the functionality seems to have returned. Maybe my mac is just slow and I was too itchy trigger finger-y? I waited a couple of days and attempted to call up Apple applications, which worked. And then to call up individual files, again working. So ... either I've got to do some more investigating of my hard drive or <something technical magically cleared up>...& thanks again for your help in troubleshooting.

Hi Vero, Yes, I completed step 6 again and restarted my Mac and then went out for a walk hoping (magically) that things would 'settle.' So now I can do a quick search for Applications that are not default Apple apps. For example, if I type.... p - I get 1Password, TechTool Pro, Adobe Photoshop, etc but not apple Podcasts m - I get show Music.app Mini Player but not actually apple Music q - can Quit all kinds of applications but not display Quicktime Qui - websearch but no Quicktime ca - Carbon Copy Cloner but not calculator or calendar I have a folder that will still call up when I start typing "J" and get the folder "Jonathan Mack" (because I added this particular folder to the Alfred preferences), but can't call up any story within that folder. I duplicated a story and renamed it "Primer.pdf" and then did a quick call up for P but only get applications. Any other steps I might take to get Alfred working how it used to? Thanks.

One of my iMacs is running Catalina and was working just fine with Alfred. Then I installed LuLu security and think this might have caused Alfred to stop finding ... - Documents by name - Applications I've added a folder to the Default Results > Search Scope but even then Alfred doesn't display a file inside of this specific folder. I don't want to add every file by name to this. I've gone through every step in the https://www.alfredapp.com/help/troubleshooting/indexing/ Troubleshooting File Indexing Issues page. I restarted my Mac. Nothing has changed. Then I disabled LuLu security and ran through the same troubleshooting steps. Alfred is not back to working how it used to. Below is a copy from a Diagnostic file after troubleshooting many files.... Starting Diagnostics...

Hi @federico - This is such a cool workflow but .... nothing gets added to my calendar. I see no (red) errors in the debug mode when using cal workflow. I've also set my destination calendar name exactly as it appears in the calendar ("Homer") in the workflow variables panel. I restarted both calendar and Alfred. When I type in your example: buy flowers next wednesday at 3pm - it appears to take but nothing actually shows up on the calendar. Running OS Catalina. Is the OS too old? Or is it just dumb user error? Thanks in advance for any tips. Aster

Hello @Vero - worked perfectly. Thank you!

Howdy - I'm not doing a full mac migration from old to new - but I really need to have all my Alfred settings from the old to use in the new. Is there some kind of export / import feature where I can do this? Cheers.
