  1. This problem keeps being a thorn in my side. It's my number one complaint at the moment. I definitely wouldn't consider myself a power user of Alfred, I really haven't gotten around to really unlocking most of its capabilities, despite being a very happy user for ages, so there may be bigger issues than this out there. But this is the one I feel.
  2. I reckon this was WindowServer crashing while I was away from my laptop; WindowServer definitely crashed a few times with that laptop back in 2015 while I wasn't away from it due to extreme RAM usage / not enough RAM. PostgreSQL issues were probably due to a Homebrew upgrade that was only noticed after I had to relaunch it. tmux kept the sessions because it wasn't a full restart, and that's kinda one of the features of tmux (so sessions remain after exiting an SSH session). Different things being open or not probably depended on what exactly triggered their opening. Apps asking for network access again may be due to new binaries (why? or why only after log out/crash?). The only one I can't explain is the various Alfred misbehaviours: having to set my settings up again, showing default settings despite settings change working, having to remove it from the menu bar multiple times. I don't recall if I ever created a new user, as I had no idea how I would have gone about trying to reproduce the conditions anyway. I doubt it would have occurred with a new user. I don't remember it happening again in the way it happened in this instance. Anyway, that old laptop definitely did all sorts of funky stuff when I used to pushed the RAM usage on it (which I tend to do). Interestingly, when I upgraded to a 2020 Intel MacBook Air back in 2020, those problems were reduced quite a lot. Now, I'm on an M1 Pro (for a couple years now) and, even when I push the RAM usage such that I'm using twice the RAM I have available (via swap space, I guess), I get no ill effects except a very minor slow-down during short moments of large amounts of swapping in one go. It's unnoticeable. So I guess this won't be a problem for me for the foreseeable future.
  3. @devonzh's solution works, but it has the side effect of showing all aliases, not just aliases to applications, which I don't want unless I do activate the file search. Alfred should automatically follow symlinks and aliases and show them in the applications list if they point to applications.
  4. Hi, My location, hotkey, theme, options, feature keywords, etc. are all showing as default in the preferences window, but they all work as expected. I select the dark theme, which works, but the next time I open the preferences window, it reports that the light theme is selected (even though the dark theme is being used). It reports that the icon is showing in the menu bar, even though it's not, and so on and so on, for all my preferences. My workflows and license remain. Here are two emails I posted to Omnigroup's OS X talk mailing list looking for help. It may be related and thus may be useful for you. What the hell is going on?
