Hi, I cannot see my clipboard history. It just does not appear I have tried https://www.alfredapp.com/help/getting-started/permissions/ to grant the permissions again but it does not work. Moreover, the snippet will not automatically expand. That is so strange and annoying.......Any help? Thank you so much.

Can you also remove the "solved label" now? Since the problem still exists😁

Hi. Actually "a while" is just maybe a few minutes. I did not use any other softwares except Typora. I just noticed that, after a while, the snippets cannot auto expand when I was typing in Typora.

Original problem.

Hi, although this topic is closed but I still have some problems today. I find that, every time I used this method to fix the auto-expansion problem of Alfred, it would fail to auto-expand snippets after a while. No idea why that happens. That means, the https://www.alfredapp.com/help/getting-started/permissions/#regrant works only for a while. It bothers a lot to do this over and over again...

Ah thanks, it seems the I actually have enabled tab as a Show Actions key in Alfred Preferences → Universal Actions → General. It works now. Thank you!

Hi Vero, - Yes, I have done that before. - Nothing. The snippet does not expand anywhere. no beep too. - Well, it does not expand. - It's very simple keyword. For example,

I remember when I open Alfred, and input part of keywords and then press tab, Alfred should be able to autocomplete it. For example, one of the keywords is "openfile", and I input "open" and press tab, but nothing happens now. How can I autocomplete the keyword using tab for the current version of Alfred?

Hi, this is the snippet setting. Actually, none of any snippets can be automatically expanded. For my Mac info: For my alfred,

Besides, when I type part of the name of some keywords, I cannot aotocomplete it using tab in alfred.

I have tried every advice I could find online, but my snippet still cannot auto-expand.

Tnanks. I have managed to create an alternative, using file filter. Another question: can we set the search depth of file filter? Just like the "find" command in Linux, we can set mindepth, or maxdepth.

When using the file filter, before I input any text, it will not show the file list. So I cannot know the topics in my folder. How can I make file filter list all the files before I input?

In a high level, Step 1: I want to select a "folder" in some specific folder. Yes, a "folder" in "specific folder", which means that I need to change the search scope in some specific folder, and select one folder in it. Problem1: Alfred cannot select folder to do some action by file filter. It will just enter the folder and wait for me to select some "file" instead of "folder". I cannot make the folder to be the input for my next script. Step 2: I want to create a symbolic link of my selected folder, and then paste the link to my assigned location, for example, ~/link_collection/. Problem2: I can do this by python if I know the folder paths. However, as I stated in Problem1, I just cannot select the folder, no matter pass its paths to be the input of my python script. Hope you can help me with these problems. It really ruined my day.

Very sorry for my vague description. First, File Action Trigger deals with file instead of "folder". Second, it cannot pass the paths to be the input of my next script.

Yes, but it cannot deal with the problem 1. It just waits for me to select a file instead of a "folder".

Sorry for my former description guys, now I will give a clear thorough description for my workflow. In a high level, Step 1: I want to select a "folder" in some specific folder.

Hello, I am wanting to browse files in a specific folder and select a file in Alfred. Then I want to do something using a python script. However, the only way I can put the selected file to my script is to use file filter; But when using file filter, I cannot see the list of files in the folder, since it will only list files that match the searching text. That is stupid for Alfred. Why don't it list all the files before the filter works? Please, help me. I was driven mad.
