Test Emails are gone after rebuilding Spotlight but still am not able to do anything but search in Alfred. I cannot preview or open a result.

I thought about this more and I am trying to modify your workflow to add the Weekday argument to the LaunchAgent PLIST. From a backup perspective running a backup daily and keeping 8 copies is more unreliable than running it weekly and keeping 8 copies. If the file is corrupt you overwrite the old backups and be left with 8 corrupted versions.

How do you change the number of backups after the script is installed? I see the default value in the script, but I'm not sure where it is reading the value that I entered during install.

My search is showing results but when I try to open an email from Search it just brings Outlook to the front. When I try to Draft an email nothing happens but now I have 4 emails named test in my search results but they are not in Outlook Drafts. I think it might be an account issue. Here is debug logs from Alfred: "18/12767791-8A16-4842-9933-7EBFB553B5E4.olk1 [truncated] [12:10:02.404] Outlook Suite[Script Filter] Processing complete [12:10:02.448] Outlook Suite[Script Filter] Passing output '/Users/divincem/Library/Group Containers/UBF8T346G9.Office/Outlook/Outlook 15 Profiles/Main Profile/Data/Messages/204/CC7B9AD5-41A7-4A19-938D-420D0CA49356.olk15Message' to Conditional [12:10:02.449] Outlook Suite[Conditional] Processing complete [12:10:02.450] Outlook Suite[Conditional] Passing output '/Users/username/Library/Group Containers/UBF8T346G9.Office/Outlook/Outlook 15 Profiles/Main Profile/Data/Messages/204/CC7B9AD5-41A7-4A19-938D-420D0CA49356.olk15Message' to Open File"

Ok I just thought it would be an option to chose daily or weekly for people who never turn their Macs off. Not that big of a deal will leave it daily

Can an interval be added for the number of days? I prefer to back up weekly or every x number of days and nights every day since my preference file is 400MB each on both my Macs, and I am backing up to iCloud.

I am guessing this file can be modified to make it weekly or every X number of days but I do not know how to do so. com.alfredapp.vitor.backuppreferences.plist

Andrew, I'm not sure you remember, but starting with Alfred 5, I had issues syncing my two machines to iCloud Drive, so I continued syncing to back up my preferences, but I used different folders for each Mac. That solved the problem I had with my Preferences not syncing across Macs. I turned off iCloud syncing for both my Macs and moved the preferences to local, and now I no longer have the issue with high CPUs moving objects in Alfred's preferences! I installed the Alfred Preferences Backup Workflow as an alternative. Is it possible to add an option to customize the backup frequency? I prefer a weekly schedule instead of a daily one. My preferences are 400 MB and don't change much; if there is an issue, all my preferences may be corrupted. I prefer to have backups for 2 months instead of 8 days.

I posted this once before back in March but that bug is closed so I am opening a new one. I have observed the same exact behavior on my personal Mac mini. That means it has nothing to do with Falcon Crowstrike. Also, I use two separate preferences files. I am no longer able to edit workflows as every time I move an object in a workflow the CPU goes over 100% for over 5 seconds. I either need to come up with a solution or roll back to Alfred 5.0 as this makes changes to workflows impossible. My Mac mini is a very generic Mac. I can duplicate the behavior on both Macs on demand by just moving a workflow obejct Both Macs run 14.4.1 and 5.5 [2257]

M1 MacBook Pro. It is a corporate MacBook. I have rebooted but will try again and will try on my Mac mini. Starting to wonder if it is related to Crowdstrike since it causes so many issues. Thanks for looking into it.

Alfred's preferences is spiking over 100% for about 10s and is unusable after I edit a simple workflow that has a bunch of entries with AppleScript used to resize apps on my desktop. Whenever I try and add a new connector it spikes. Easy to replicate. macOS 14.3.1 Alfred 5.5 [2257]

Thx

Is there a way to show only Alfred Workflows that need updating? Or better yet, an option to update all workflows at once. I have been searching through my list of workflows a dozen times and still need help finding the one workflow that Alfred says can be updated.

@Andrew I ran both machines again for another five days and had no glitches with the Mac mini preferences in iCloud and the MacBook preferences locally. I switched the MacBook to sync to iCloud and ran several remote sessions from my iPhone to both machines with no issues. I changed the workflow on the MacBook, and sure enough, the remote connection to the Mac mini failed, and the MacBook worked fine. This confirms my previous testing, and I believe the error is related to the sync after a change on one device. The status is inconsistent when I turn on sync and go into the workflows. Some workflows show up to date on one machine and not on the other, even though I am synced. I think I am done messing with this and will sync manually. The fix is to disable the remote feature on the broken machine and re-enable it.
