  1. Hello, Issue: I have noticed an issue with Alfred when I reboot my Macbook Pro and what Alfred does upon auto-startup immediately after reboot. There are three potential outcomes & approx % of occurrences: 1. Alfred auto-opens upon reboot in it's normal state and normal appearance - 25% of reboots 2. Alfred auto-opens upon reboot with "Alfred Classic" appearance, which is not the setting I have selected (Alfred Dark Modern) - 45% of reboots 3. Alfred auto-opens upon reboot with "Alfred Classic" appearance AND the command bar opens and will not close - 30% of reboots Variables to recreate issue: I have yet to figured out which variables lead to which outcomes as this happens automatically upon login after reboot. 1 is clearly a normal state. 2 & 3 are abnormal. How I resolve when issues occur: When 2 or 3 occurs, the appearance setting is actually shown inside Preferences as Alfred Dark Modern (the one I selected). Simply clicking on Alfred Dark Modern again does not resolve the issue. I must select a different theme before selecting Alfred Dark Modern again to resolve. After that, 2 will be resolved but 3 will remain in the state below. When 3 occurs, using the Alfred Hotkey, Esc, or "Toggle Alfred" from the top bar menu will not cause the Alfred command bar to disappear. It will remain floating on top of other applications. Using the command bar will do Alfred actions, but the bar will remain open and floating after Enter. The only way to close the command bar is to quit Alfred and re-open it. Upon re-open, the appearance will be correct, and Alfred functions properly. Computer Specs: 2019 Macbook Pro 16 Inch - Intel i9 MacOS Monterey 12.5.1 Alfred Specs: Alfred 4: The issue first presented itself in Alfred 4 (I can't remember which version it started in, but started about 4 months ago). I always installed every new update hoping it would correct. Alfred 5: The same issues were happening in Alfred 5 as well, which I downloaded 2 weeks ago and currently run 5.0.2. Thanks!
  2. Hey Guys, I was inspired to create my first workflow to open a new window in a specific Chrome Profile since I work between several profiles and have certain permissions in certain profiles. This simple workflow was inspired by @Balverine commenting on another Chrome profiles workflow that no longer works. How It Works This is a very simple workflow that will open different chrome profiles using a simple Alfred command. Each time you use the command, a new chrome browser window will open for the specified profile. The workflow is built with pre-defined arguments 1, 2 and 3. "cp 1" opens the first chrome profile (usually called "Default" by chrome), "cp 2" the second (called Profile 1 by chrome) and so on. [cmd arg] = [chrome profile name] cp 1 = Default cp 2 = Profile 1 cp 3 = Profile 2 This workflow will require some simple customization to function properly with your Chrome-assigned profile names IF they differ from the above or you want to change the associated argument (i.e. you want Profile 2 to open with cp 1) Find your Chrome Profile Name In the workflow, you will need to change the [Profile #] in each Run Script to match the Chrome-created profile name you want to open. The "profile name" used in this workflow is NOT the chrome profile name you created/defined; it is the name in the profile pathway and assigned by Chrome. To find the proper profile name for each Chrome Profile: Step 1: open chrome://version/ while in each Chrome profile you have Step 2: Find "Profile Path" and copy the end of the pathway: /Users/[YOUR USERNAME]/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Profile 5 In the above example, the proper profile name is: "Profile 5" Step 3: In the workflow, you will need to update the profile name in each /bin/zsh to match yours. For example, in the top /bin/zsh: /Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome --args --profile-directory="Default" changes to /Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome --args --profile-directory="Profile 5" I hope those of you will multiple profiles will find this useful and others will take it and improve on the functionality. I am not a coder so hopefully someone will expand this workflow to do a lot more things. Link to download: https://github.com/alexxonly/SimpleChromeProfiles
