Is this a permanently connected volume?

 

Could you please open Terminal and type:

 

mdls "/Volumes/C/Projects NXT/Current/Reine stemming/EXPORT/ENG/EN Icoon en muziek cd finale versie.docx"

AFAIK, the volume isn't connected when Parallels isn't running. It was running and connected (i.e. I can access the C drive from the Finder) when I entered this in Terminal. Here are the results:

But after doing some more testing, it looks like the Spotlight results are a bit hit and miss. Really sorry about that! It looks like the best solution is just for me to move these two directories to the Mac side so that Alfred has uninterrupted access to them. Apologies again, and many thanks.

Glad you are enjoying Alfred

 

Could you please drag the file which isn't being found into this app and let me know the output

Hi Andrew,

Many thanks for your reply.

Here are the results after I drag the file into the app:

/Volumes/C/Projects NXT/Current/Reine stemming/EXPORT/ENG/EN Icoon en muziek cd finale versie.docx

Unable to obtain metadata for this file!

Raw mdls File Metadata
======================

/Volumes/C/Projects NXT/Current/Reine stemming/EXPORT/ENG/EN Icoon en muziek cd finale versie.docx: could not find /Volumes/C/Projects NXT/Current/Reine stemming/EXPORT/ENG/EN Icoon en muziek cd finale versie.docx.

I get the same results with every document I drag into the app (except that the name of the file is different) from the two folders I've asked Alfred to search.

Thanks again!

Josh

Hi,

I'm a new Alfred user and am really loving the program.

I'm on v. 2.1.1 and am having an issue with Alfred not finding files at two locations of my Parallels installation (the same files are turning up in Spotlight searches). I've added the two folders to the Search Scope list under Default Results, but to no avail.

I've also rebuilt my OS X metadata, but this hasn't helped either.

My OS is Mavericks (v. 10.9.1).

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
