When running terminal programs via the ">" prefix, it would be great if Alfred could tab-complete the commands. For instance, I sometimes must run Emacs directly via /Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs. If I open a terminal window, I get tab completion to help me keyboard in the details. When I run ">/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs" I must type it from memory. Not a big deal, but if I haven't done it in a while, it may take me a couple of tries to get it right.

I tried both "Full Fuzzy Matching" and "Clearing the application cache." Neither worked on "yEd" ! The "find" keyword works great for picking up the jar file.

EDIT: btw, this behavior is repeatable on two different macs! Something about the name "yEd" maybe? Very strange.

Hello -- I have a couple of apps that won't show up in alfred v2 and I don't know why not. One of the apps is called "yEd.app." I can see it in the Applications folder. Alfred finds most, if not all, of the other apps in the Applications folder. I have Alfred set up to search the Applications folder. Spotlight can see "yEd.app" no problem. I reindexed through spotlight. I reindexed the deep way with the various sudo commands (easy to find this info on the web). Still, Alfred will not pick up this app (if I type "yEd" into Alfred, all I get is web-search options -- Alfred does not see anything named "yEd" on my mac, let alone in the Applications folder. The other app that Alfred can't find is called "jave5.jar." Ok, maybe this isn't a surprise since it's a jar file and not a .app file, but still, spotlight knows where it is, and I thought Alfred worked off the same data as spotlight. Alfred has no trouble finding Emacs and XCode and LightTable and other oddball apps that I use, so it doesn't look like Alfred's troubles have anything to do with the world-popularity of my particular favorite apps (which is probably pretty low ) There may be some other apps that Alfred can't find, but these are the ones I need to start and stop over and over again and would love Alfred better if he could find them Any hints for me?

Ok, I resolved this by adding only /usr/local/Cellar to the list of search locations. Now alfred can find everything I installed via homebrew. Still not sure why ~/Applications and - or the symbolic link in there wasn't liked, but hey, it's gone now

A quick note to add that I got Alfred to find emacs by adding the homebrew directory /usr/sbin/Cellar/emacs/24.2 to Alfred's list of places to look, but this seem like an awfully specific thing to do. Perhaps I only need to tell Alfred to look in /usr/sbin/Cellar. Alos, perhaps it's the symbolic link to Emacs.app in my ~/Applications folder that Alfred doesn't like?

Hello -- i installed a homebrew build of emacs, which put a symbolic link to Emacs.app in my ~/Applications folder. I cleared Alfred's cache and rebuilt the index. I added ~/Applications to Alfred's list of places to look. He still can't find "Emacs." Any ideas for me, please & thanks?
