I was just trying to search for a file in my iCloud Drive, and Alfred won't turn it up -- but Spotlight will. It might be a one-off issue, as other iCloud Drive-based files and folders seem to be showing up ok. 

When I put in the file name in Spotlight, it turns up:

...and when I search for it in Alfred, I see nothing but my default Internet search options:

(also, no idea why the type in this screenshot looks weird — it's normal in reality). 

I've been using Alfred Powerpack since v1 and love it. The one huge omission is that there should really be a better way of discovering themes and workflows. Alfred is a mature, polished and well-developed app by now, and it seems weird to send people to either trudge through forum threads or go to some third-party site instead of coming up with something official. 

These guys are doing it in a really smart way that feels much more inviting and fun -- a gallery which accomodates user-submitted themes: https://styles.ulyssesapp.com

Cool, but you can also just go to the main login screen, which leaves only the password field active. Clean away and then when you're done, clear out the password field and log back in.

Nice, but how are you seeing those divider lines between your search results? I'm not seeing those at all...

[edit] nevermind, I see it now, under "separator colour"

Google Drive seems to be mangling your file, changing the extension to .xml instead of .alfredappearance

Ah, nevermind, I finally found it. Way under "Advanced" — it's called "Show latest history if within 5 minutes"

Pop up Alfred and press the Up arrow. That should get you the last query. You can also set Alfred to auto fill the text box with the latest input, pre-selected so it can be overwritten when you type.

Thanks — the second one is the one I want. Where is that set, specifically?

I always forget how to activate this preference. When I reactivate Alfred soon after just using it, I want to see the same query I typed previously still filled in. Anybody able to point me to this one? Thanks
