I was just logging into the Alfred Forum to ask about almost the same thing. Would be nice to exclude some files of a specific file extension.

Yes, that works, great. Now I just have to remember to add any new folder in Alfreds Preferences. Thanks, Martin

A possible reason is maybe that I do have a unusual configuration of my home folder, as I do have the system an a SSD and the home folder symlinked on a hard drive (Macintosh_HD). This console snippet make that clear: macbookpro:Users pollow$ pwd /Users macbookpro:Users pollow$ ls -la pollow lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 34 10 Nov 2012 pollow -> /Volumes/Macintosh_HD/Users/pollow Best, Martin

Thanks for the quick help. There was one single folder in the privacy options of spotlight, which I temporarily removed now. Actually no file at all is found (so I assume the reason it is not the metadata of a specific file), but I picked one of the files and here comes the output of your tool: /Volumes/Macintosh_HD/Users/pollow/python.m Internal File Metadata ====================== Display Name: python.m Alt Names: File Type: public.objective-c-source Comments: Keywords: Last Used: Raw mdls File Metadata ====================== kMDItemContentCreationDate = 2013-01-05 18:59:30 +0000 kMDItemContentModificationDate = 2013-01-05 19:05:02 +0000 kMDItemContentType = "public.objective-c-source" kMDItemContentTypeTree = ( "public.objective-c-source", "public.source-code", "public.plain-text", "public.text", "public.data", "public.item", "public.content" ) kMDItemDateAdded = 2013-01-05 18:59:30 +0000 kMDItemDisplayName = "python.m" kMDItemFSContentChangeDate = 2013-01-05 19:05:02 +0000 kMDItemFSCreationDate = 2013-01-05 18:59:30 +0000 kMDItemFSCreatorCode = "MATL" kMDItemFSFinderFlags = 0 kMDItemFSHasCustomIcon = 0 kMDItemFSInvisible = 0 kMDItemFSIsExtensionHidden = 0 kMDItemFSIsStationery = 0 kMDItemFSLabel = 0 kMDItemFSName = "python.m" kMDItemFSNodeCount = 2824 kMDItemFSOwnerGroupID = 20 kMDItemFSOwnerUserID = 501 kMDItemFSSize = 2824 kMDItemFSTypeCode = "MATF" kMDItemKind = "MATLAB Code" kMDItemLogicalSize = 2824 kMDItemPhysicalSize = 4096 Best, Martin

Hi... after switching from Alfred v1 to v2 I have issues with finding files while these files are found using Spotlight. I studied and tested all points at the specific help site for search issues (http://support.alfredapp.com/kb:indexing) and tested also to manually rebuild the index with sudo rm -R /.Spotlight-V100 sudo mdutil -i on / sudo mdutil -E / No success. I cannot find any of my files using the whitespace, the "find" or the "open" command. Setting in the preferences are the default settings with "Include folders in home folder" checked. Any idea what can be wrong? Best, Martin
