Hi, my alfred resets its defaultsearch settings every time I reboot or quit/start him. I tried repairing the permissions and I even deleted the preferences files so they can be created from scratch. Also tried setting a sync folder and my Alfred.alfredpreferences file is synced and contains the right values:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>showArchives</key>
<true/>
<key>showBookmarks</key>
<true/>
<key>showDocuments</key>
<true/>
<key>showImages</key>
<true/>
<key>showTextFiles</key>
<true/>
<key>showUserDefined</key>
<array>
<string>com.apple.disk-image-udif</string>
<string>com.apple.generic-internet-location</string>
</array>
</dict>
</plist>
Is there something else I can try? I dont want to create a new user account (whichever way this helps, it should also be doable on the current account) and I know I am not the only one having this problem.
Thanks guys
edit:
It seems after the reset, that alfred is not able to create the new preferences files in the directory:
/Users/kuba/Library/Application Support/Alfred 2/Alfred.alfredpreferences/preferences
altough it has the rights:
drwxr-xr-x 2 kuba staff 68B Jul 2 08:50 .
drwxr-xr-x 6 kuba staff 204B Jul 2 08:50 ..
Curious thing is - one preference is persistent. The sync folder. And it synces whatever changes I make in the preferences to it. I am actually tempted to set the sync folder to the original preferences folder alfred uses, but I'm afraid I could break it
edit2:
I chmod -R 777 Alfred.alfredpreferences folder and rebooted. So far so good, preferences are kept so solved for me.
