Just upgraded from 2.0.2 to 2.0.3 and every key press turns into two characters in the Alfred search window. I’ve rebooted, nuked Alfred, and restarted and it persists. I used 2.0.2 heavily and didn’t see this problem. Any ideas or way to downgrade?

I can't reveal the exact path, but I basically renamed the last folder in the path to "Foo" and it still doesn't work. Perhaps I can manually copy it out of the bundle whenever I update Xcode tools.

You may find adding the specific paths to the items you need will work. Unlike folders outside of a bundle, it doesn't look like OS X's metadata server recursively searches when looking in a bundle.

I'm not looking for anything recursive. It should fine files in the top level of that path. Here's another path I entered:

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Extras/Applications

The folder contains 15 applications and Alfred doesn't find any of them.

OS X is a bit funny how it indexes these folders as they are in a bundle. However, if you add:

 

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/Applications/

 

Alfred will find the iPhone Simulator

That's useful only if I'm trying to find the iPhone Simulator, but I'm trying to find things inside the path in my original post.

I have Alfred 2 set with a Search Scope that includes this path:

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform

But it won't find anything at that level in the hierarchy or below. Is it because it's a bundle?

Somehow, I lost the path to ~/Library/Caches/Metadata! Perhaps when I was adding new paths, I accidentally nuked that one. This fixed the problem, thanks!

I've used Safari bookmark searching for a long time in Alfred v1, but in v2, it's suddenly stopped working. In Default Results > Essentials, Bookmarks - Safari is checked.

The only thing I've done recently is create two workflows, one to open Xcode projects and one to open files created by a specific application.

I've tried toggling this pref on and off and also tried cleared the cache and rebuilt metadata.

Any ideas?

Awesome, thanks, that worked!

Alfred v2, although I can reproduce this in the last v1 version I was using.

1. I have files with 11 character file extensions

2. I've located the files either on the desktop (I have Include folders in Home checked) or I've located them at a path specified in the search scope

3. In the same location, I've also placed text files created by TextEdit

4. I bring up Alfred and type "find <name of file>" for one of the text files and Alfred finds it

5. I type "find <name of file with long extension>" and Alfred does NOT find it (I'm tying the filename without the extension)

The TextEdit files either have txt or rtf extensions. I can't change the file extension because the application uses many file extensions to represent different types of saved queries. I can't include the files due to privacy reasons.
