Since I now own an iPhone, I can test it. I'm already using Alfred Remote and know it and Alfred fairly well.

I bought Alfred 1 about 8 years ago and purchased the Mega Supporter when it became available. 80+ workflows later, I'm loving it and using it everyday. My peak usage was 800+ times in one day! I can't get the exact number because it got erased when I had to wipe my system and reload a few months ago. But, I got 795 in one day last week!

Sorry, I forgot to reply. Yes, it’s working fine for me now also. Thanks!

I’m also getting this issue, and it happens everytime I reboot. I also am on dark mode using the Dracula-Pro theme. This theme has no blur setting at all.

Yea, Alto's Adventure required it. I'm assuming it is using it to detect input going to another app as it will automatically pause.

As for the rest, I haven't tried it on another user yet. But, on my login if I remove it it quits working again. I always get the weird stuff.

On my system, It has the + and - buttons to add and remove. See picture below.

That's what I thought. But, I couldn't get it to paste or expand a text expander until I added it. Therefore, I assumed it used to be there. I tried removing/adding to accessibility, but that didn't change anything. Weird!

I was able to fix it. Alfred 4 no longer had the `Input Monitoring` security checked. Actually, Alfred wasn't in the list at all. I had to manually add it. I know it was before the update. So, the update removed it from the list but wasn't able to add it back? I'm assuming something like that.

Cmd+V isn’t overriden by any program or keyboard manager. My copyclips workflow using ctrl+v to paste one of the clips of text saved by ctrl+c. 

Snippets also quit working, so I guess they are related. By pressing Cmd+V I can paste what the workflow pushed to the clipboard.

I tested everything in TextEdit and all of my other editors. The results are the same everywhere.

The only thing that changed on my setup was the update to Alfred.

The update I received today no long pastes to topmost application when copying to clipboard. I have to run the workflow and then press Ctrl-V. Can I get the old behavior back? 

You download it in Dash. Go to the home page in your Dash program, click 'Download Docsets', and search 'User Contributed' for Alfred. Then click download. Very simple.

Neat. I just noticed it. I'm loving it. I figured this is a bug being an oversight of sorting links to folders and folders and links to files as files. But, I see how it could look like a feature request. 

Maybe we should have a sub area for just beta problems?

Hi,

In the latest beta (not sure when this feature was added, I just noticed it and was very happy), you can have folders listed first. But, all links are sorted after folders with files. All of my soft links are to folders and I would rather have them listed with the folders. Not a major issue, more for easy of scanning.

@raguay.customct Fixed in v1.1.0

Okay, It's working now. Thanks.

1.5.3 and it says that is the latest version.

I'm just getting:

[14:35:38.139] Logging Started...

[14:35:40.026] The Archive[Script Filter] Queuing argument 'Sermon'

[14:35:41.602] The Archive[Script Filter] Script with argv 'Sermon' finished

[14:35:41.607] STDERR: The Archive[Script Filter] ERROR: Cannot get the application setting: isUsingIDForNewFiles

If you want to easily setup and run different protocols, I would suggest using Lincastor. It makes setting up those protocols easy. Then have the AppleScript trigger an external on Alfred and your set!

Yeah, as you can read in the message above, i like one tool that does all instead of learning all kinds of different tools that only do one thing (and now you are going to tell me "and do that one thing right").

You missed my point. Use Alfred to launch and control the other applications. The 'div' workflow does that, just behind the scene so you don't realize it. I like my Hammerspoon workflow because I can add functionality easily, but run everything from Alfred. The power of Alfred isn't that it does everything, but that it can 'glue' the smaller programs together to make life easier.

I don’t use a titling window managers, but Hammerspoon has it as an option to setup. It’s has the function built in but no hotkey assignments setup. If your interested, I can help you set it up. I do have a Hammerspoon Wordflow for Alfred. I use it all the time for setting up window layouts for different workflows. I also use my fman plugin Project Manager with Hammerspoon to setup windows for my project when I enter the project directory in fman. Very useful.

With all these outside resources, there’s no need to add it to Alfred, but create the proper workflow for you using the other tools. That’s where you get the real power of Alfred. Not a single, mega program that does everything. The Unix philosophy is many small, one purpose programs working together.

There is a good, dedicated titling window manager called Amethyst.

Mojave's probably the sweet spot. It doesn't have all the awful features of Catalina that have crippled so much software, and very few apps are Catalina-only.

I upgraded to Catalina because of a program that is Catalina-only. As Catalina gets older, more and more programs will be Catalina-only, especially programs that are just now coming to market. But, I doubt Catalina will get tighter with restrictions (but I could be wrong). So far, my 80+ workflows that I use are running fine in Catalina. IF mac goes banning all scripting, it will be in a future version that most developers will mostly not use and therefore will not make it long.

The only programs I lost due to the move were 32-bit programs that the developer no longer supported or have totally dropped (I'm still sad over losing Yummy FTP!).

Or, simply make a workflow with lots of keywords for the app you want to a launcher for the app. Very simple, straight forward, and easy to see and edit.

My experience in Mojave is that the macOS program iconservisesagent is going nuts. On my system, it was caused by the Path Finder program and some extensions added to Finder (Dropbox, Deskdrawer, etc). Removing Finder extensions and stop using Path Finder fixed all my issues with Alfred being slow.

I’ve notifed the authors of Path Finder, but they have not replied.

Hey @Vero, I found out something interesting. Path Finder is causing the iconservicesagent and Dropbox to run hot. I’ve sent them a notice about it. Since iconservicesagent running out of control effects Alfred, you might want to see if those that are having an issue with Alfred freezing up are using Path Finder or not. As long as I don’t run Path Finder, I don’t have any problems with Alfred locking up.

Just the iconservicesagent is hogging all the CPU (90%). That seems to be the common denominator. Since others are having some issues with Alfred hanging, I figured maybe this is the reason and maybe if we all think about it we can find a common solution. Since iconservicesagent is a macos item and many people are complaining about it, but Apple hasn't said a word. If some promonent vendors complained, maybe we can get something to fix it? Worth a try.

But, Alfred only started having hanging issues right after 4.0.5 (around). It also only happens only in the Alfred browser trying to open the action menu for a file. Since that does use icons, and the iconservicesagent is taking a long time, you might want to put a time out on the call for the icons (or something like that). Just some guessing?

BTW: yes, I have been trying to do all the above debugging procedures. Everything works afterwards until the iconservicesagent goes rogue again. Therefore, it keeps coming back no matter what I do.
