Funny some settings stay and some setting are lost. If I change the Alfred hotkey to CMD SPace that is still there after a restart. My workflows all remain. But if I set "Where are you" to UK then that gets lost, as does asking Alfred to put Bookmarks in the default results. This could be a file permissioning problem??

Yes the setting disappear after an Alfred restart. So the hat comes back to my menu bar after an Alfred restart per your message.

Possible that I did about 3 weeks ago. But I dont remember for sure. Do you want me to do a fresh install of Alfred? Delete alfred 2 in my apps floder and then download again???? or what is the best way?

I did that and also deleted (was that a bad plan?) ~/Library/Caches/com.runningwithcrayons.Alfred-Preferences/ but no luck. CLeaner type apps hmmm Broomstick AppCleaner Does either of these start automatically. I think no

Thanks for the reply Andrew 1. Repairing Permissions Tried this did not help. 2. Unsync Dropbox Settings I Dont use dropbox sync 3. Resetting Alfred to Defaults Did this, some of these are folders so I did a "rm -r *" in the folders. All my workflows had to be imported (not a problem). But still no luck ~/Library/Preferences/com.runningwithcrayons.Alfred-2.plist ~/Library/Preferences/com.runningwithcrayons.Alfred-Preferences.plist ~/Library/Caches/com.runningwithcrayons.Alfred-2 ~/Library/Application Support/Alfred 2 4. Create a New User Account Yes this solves the problem. How difficult will it be to port all my stuff over to a new account???? Is this gonna be a 20 minute job or will I be working at it for a morning?

Useful thanks

It comes back as soon as I reboot

I am a mac user and a minimalist. I want to hide the Alfred icon in the menubar so I use alfred pref -> appearance -> options -> hide menu bar icon the Alfred icon does disappear. But a day or so later the Alfred icon is back on the menubar and the checkbox is OFF. Can you help me please.
