reneruiz

I am still on Mountain Lion actually. I think that was an upgrade, rather than a fresh reinstall.

Yes it's better, but now it doesn't show every PrefPane. Do I have to rebuild the Metadata again?

Seems like it may have made it worse actually. Even when I type slower, displays is nowhere to be found.

If I copy/paste, I see the incorrect results. I fast user-switched to another account on my Mac, and the problem wasn't there—it worked properly. Should I still specifically create a new user account and not use fast user-switching? EDIT: Nevermind. I created a temporary user account and did a full log out/log in, and Alfred works correctly for the test account. No problems. So it's some problem isolated to my home directory?

It seems to work better if I type slower.

Sure, FYI it's not just displays that has this problem. Here's the output. /System/Library/PreferencePanes/Displays.prefPane Internal File Metadata ====================== Display Name: Displays Alt Names: Displays.prefPane File Type: com.apple.systempreference.prefpane Comments: Keywords: Last Used: Raw mdls File Metadata ====================== com_apple_system_prefs_keywords = "screens monitors mirror mirrored mirroring arranging arrangement Arrange multiple displays menubar Relocate menu bar calibrate adjust lighten brighten dim darken white point gamma ambient light profiles calibrating adjusting adjustments dimming Display colors and calibration position height width pincushion rotate keystone parallelogram bow corner curve skewed geometry dimensions Screen image rgb align adjustment aligning alignment Image convergence static reset flicker interference flickering Degauss depth millions thousands 256 ColorSync Colors brightness resolution refresh rate Detect Show in rotation AirPlay options" kMDItemAlternateNames = ( "Displays.prefPane" ) kMDItemCFBundleIdentifier = "com.apple.preference.displays" kMDItemContentCreationDate = 2012-06-20 22:04:11 +0000 kMDItemContentModificationDate = 2012-06-20 22:04:11 +0000 kMDItemContentType = "com.apple.systempreference.prefpane" kMDItemContentTypeTree = ( "com.apple.systempreference.prefpane", "com.apple.package", "public.directory", "public.item", "com.apple.bundle" ) kMDItemDateAdded = 2013-03-07 21:08:12 +0000 kMDItemDisplayName = "Displays" kMDItemFSContentChangeDate = 2012-06-20 22:04:11 +0000 kMDItemFSCreationDate = 2012-06-20 22:04:11 +0000 kMDItemFSCreatorCode = "" kMDItemFSFinderFlags = 0 kMDItemFSHasCustomIcon = 0 kMDItemFSInvisible = 0 kMDItemFSIsExtensionHidden = 0 kMDItemFSIsStationery = 0 kMDItemFSLabel = 0 kMDItemFSName = "Displays.prefPane" kMDItemFSNodeCount = 1 kMDItemFSOwnerGroupID = 0 kMDItemFSOwnerUserID = 0 kMDItemFSSize = 909475 kMDItemFSTypeCode = "" kMDItemKind = "Mac OS X Preference Pane" kMDItemLogicalSize = 909475 kMDItemPhysicalSize = 1339392 I checked to make sure Preference Panes was within scope of Alfred and it looks right to me:

Still not working.

Isn't this what the reindexing utility under Alfred Preferences > Advanced, I mentioned, already did?

I mentioned this to the Alfred twitter account several weeks ago. When I query something in Alfred, it's gotten to be very unreliable. What I'd rather see: The queries return different results, usually it's wrong on the first shot and it'll sort itself out after that. Through the advice from the Twitter account, I reindexed the Metadata under Alfred Preferences > Advanced but it hasn't solved the problem at all. What else can I try?
