Hi @Andrew, i did add all the folders in my home folder, including finite ones (dot prefixed). I’ve dropped you an email as requested. Thanks Ben

Hi @Andrew, I tired as suggested, showing invisible files showed a number of Files and Folders Drag all Folders into default search scope No issue with Mail/Message attachments appearing in Alfred Drag a File into default search scope Issue reappeared with Mail/Message attachments appearing in Alfred It appears dragging a file into default search scope adds "~", I'm assuming this is adding entire Home folder to scope Below is a list of files/folders in my home folder using terminal "ls -al" command. Let me know if I can do/provide anything else to help?

@ben.mcmurry for ~/Library/Mobile Documents, I dragged that folder into the search scope manually (without checking "Include folders in Home". This allowed me to search iCloud documents without Mail (and iMessage) attachments/downloads appearing in results.

Thanks Vero for the suggestions, I've done as suggested. Took Screenshots of "Default Results" and "File Search" settings (see images 01 - 08) Unchecked "Include folders in Home", dragged in every folder in Home Folder into Search Scope, excluding ~/Library (see image 09) Alfred is now searching correctly compared to when "Include folders in Home" is checked, (see images 10 - 11) You can view the screenshots here - https://www.dropbox.com/sh/tnafsy4c1rvw138/AAApSYur3yRP4gZSPR1r0p11a?dl=0 Thanks Ben

I've created a hack with a workflow to workaround this bug. Change the General Alfred Hotkey to something else Disable Quick Search in "File Search" preference pane Create a new workflow Hotkey with: Action = Show in Alfred Argument = Text Value = ' File Filter Keyword = ' Search Scope = desired files Open File

Hi Andrew, I'm starting this thread up again. Alfred is still showing Mail attachment downloads in the file search. I've tried to re-index Spotlight a few times and it does not help. Do you have any further suggestions? Ben

Hi Alfred Team, Recently I've noticed a lot of Mail attachment downloads appearing in my File Search. I use [spacebar] to start a File Search and start typing, e.g. abc The results show a list of files, one which is in my documents folder and the rest which are in '~/Library/Mail/V5/x/x/x/abc.txt I've been able to do a workaround by: Preference > Default Results > Uncheck "Include folders in Home" Add all folders in Home excluding ~/Library into Search Scope It seems the grey help text "Excluding ~/Library" under the check box is not being honored. Versions: macOS 10.13.2 (17C88) Alfred v3.6.2 [922] Powerpack Thanks in advance Ben

I know this is an old topic, but since moving to 10.12 this no longer works for me. It opens a New Tab, but puts the query in the existing tab first

Thanks Vero, sorry for taking so long in responding

Steps to reproduces – Create a TextEdit file a save to Desktop – Select file in Finder and Get Info, check the "Stationary Pad" option. – Double clicking the file in Finder opens a copy of the original – Opening using Alfred opens to original Was able to reproduce every time using different file types, bbedit, Mou, TextEdit. Alfred version - 2.5.1 (308) OS X version - 10.10.1

Try saving the automator workflow as an Application, this way it will open and run as a separate application. If you need to edit the workflow open the Automator app, Go to "File > Open" and select the file.

If you go to the workflow section in the Alfred 2 Preferences. Click the "+" (bottom right), then use the template: Templates > Files and Apps > Launch file group from keyword. The workflow is created, double click the workflow elements to edit your keyword trigger and to drag your Automator file into the "Launch Apps/Files"

I've switched to using iCloud syncing with 1Password 4. Alfred now can't find the 1Password keychain. Is it possible with the current Alfred to access the keychain in stored in iCloud "~/Library/Mobile Documents/"?

I would use OS X keychain to store your login information and use the the command "security" to pull the info from it. http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man1/security.1.html

The Keychain Access application has a menu bar status in the Preferences. In the menu bar item the first option is "Lock Screen" which is the same as the Control-Shift-Eject shortcut. This menu bar item is located here /Applications/Utilities/Keychain Access.app/Contents/Resources/Keychain.menu I dont know how or if it is even possible, but you utilise the Keychain.menu?

Thanks for letting me know the bit about opening office files with Alfred

I've found me answer on your support pages from Alfred 1 - http://support.alfredapp.com/kb:recent-documents Is there anyway of working around the office limitations this? Thanks Ben

Hi, I'm really glad the recent documents action is now in the beta. It is working really well with most Applications. With the Microsoft Office apps the action says "no recent documents to show". However when opening the Application and going to File > Open Recent it does display the recent documents. I'm guessing this is to do with the Office apps, but is it possible for you to get the recent documents action to work with them? Thanks Ben Alfred: v2.0 (131) OS X: 10.8.2

You could use the default Apple shortcut to sleep all displays. It is: Shift-Control-Media Eject (⏏) On keyboards without the Eject key use the power key. You can find this and similar system shortcuts at the this support article - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1343

I've found an issue cycling the history when using Navigation i.e. have typed in "~" or "/". It prevents you cycling the history, can these be excluded from the history?
