I'm using the nifty app CoherenceX to create custom wrapper apps for web applications. It works really well overall and I love the flexibility that this gives. However, there is an issue. I can use Alfred to initially launch such apps normally, but once I use them for a while and minimize them, using Alfred to bring back the minimized window of such an app simply doesn't work anymore. I type in the app name in Alfred, Alfred brings it up, I press enter, and on the top left of my screen in the menu bar the CoherenceX app shows up, but its window is not showing. This does not happen with any other normal app, which would show its window right away. Also, when I use the normal Mac dock, I can simply use these apps without an issue. I wonder whether anybody here had experience with trouble calling up app windows using Alfred. I contacted Alfred's support and they suggested for me to go to the forum. Thank you so much.

I have tried all the troubleshooting there. Rebuilt index, even deleted spotlight folder, restarted etc. Still the same. File is showing up in search, but nview is completely empty.. md file type is also added to allowed document lists in alfred.

Hi, I installed the workflow, I can add notes, and I can also see them using the regular Alfred search. I'm using Markdown. However, I cannot see any notes at all when I use nview command. Even the * command doesn't return anything, even though I created a few files. Is there something I'm missing in terms of the setup? Thank you.

I am running M2 MBA and upgraded to Ventura last week. Since that, with every boot, Aflred 5 asks for accessbility permissions, even though they are present. What I have to do then is to delete the existing permission manually from settings, and let Alfred request it. It will then work until the next boot. I have tried the normal Alfred 5 release channel and early release. currently runnint 5.0.4 2095. Is this a known issue? Thanks!

Hi Vero, thank you for the clear explanation. Guess, I have to live with it then Overall does not impact me much, so all good. Case closed for now! Cheers, Maik

Hi Vero! Great to hear from you.. I have copied the full output below. To your questions: Yes, I migrated from and M1 to a M2 machine. I followed the troubleshooting guide and widened the search scope is mentioned int the article. I can find the file! Then I reset the search scope, and then file can't be found. I then copied the file to my user directory (default downloads folder) and it still cannot be found. Troubleshooting checks out fine there, too. I did notice that it has a unique file type (itmz) and I added it to the search file types. Still cannot be found. This is so strange, as It works fine with my intel mac that has virtually the same setup. What else could i try? Thanks! Starting Diagnostics...

I set up my new MBA and suddenly cannot find files in my local onedrive folder. The cloudstorage location is added in search scope. The file can be found in spotlight The troubleshooting guide finds the file and returns green mark When I try this on my older mac with similar setup, the file shows up. What am I possibly missing? thanks!

Running Alfred 4.6.2 on MacOS Intel 12.1 I noticed that the onedrive app received a bigger update a few days ago, making some changes to on-demand file system etc. I realise a strange behaviour now: Mac native Spotlights picks up files that Alfred does not show. I am puzzled, as I thought that Alfred relies on the spotlight database? Is there something I am missing here?
