If you update to the pre-release b655, you can now use spaces in snippet keywords

If you update to the 3.0 b633 pre-release, I've now added an option to touch aliases after opening them (on by default). This should allow you to add aliases to Alfred's default search file types, and then when using them, they will immediately prioritise in Alfred.
 
Let me know how you get on

Focusing changed in Alfred quite a while ago.
 
To change this go to Appearance → Options(Bottom left) → And switch Focusing mode from "Standard Mode" to "Compatibility Mode"
Then TextExpander should work with Alfred again as it pulls focus

If you change your home folder keycombo to ⇧⌘2 is it slower? if not then there is nothing with Alfred. Might be that you have a lot in your downloads folder.
You could try out opening different folders.

Keep in mind that you have to save after you changed the "Trigger behaviour", else it won't make a differents.
I can't replicate your behaviour as any keycombo i set it to behaves the same, just "Pass through modifier keys (Fastest)" is a bit faster.
Other than that Alfred 3 should behave the same as Alfred 2. I don't know of any changes in this field.
 
Have to say that I'm on OS X 10.11.5 maybe that's why idk mmhh

Go into your workflow folder(right click workflow and click "Open in Finder") and open "alfred.py".
There you'll find these 2 lines:
True: '~/Library/Caches/com.runningwithcrayons.Alfred-2/Workflow Data', False: '~/Library/Application Support/Alfred 2/Workflow Data' Replace "Alfred-2" with "Alfred-3" and "/Alfred 2/" with "/Alfred 3/"
 
then it works again

thx ! - that helped me)
my app switcher is https://itunes.apple.com/ru/app/ring-menu-shortcut-to-your/id934212116?mt=12&ign-mpt=uo%3D4 - ring menu - http://ring-menu.com/

%0A is a return character, probably produced by your script. I had the same.
To fix this you can use the new "Transform" function of Alfred to trim whitespaces. That will get rid of it.
 
Btw what appswitcher are you using there? The circle you use to get back to alfred.

I see the problem (thanks FroZen_X).  Since the server is embedded in the Alfred 3 app bundle I had to add it to the system firewall whitelist (the rule for the Aflred 2 remote server did not carry over).  Kind of annoying.

Hey Guys! I am the creator of the script, and I just released it as a web app, so people not familiar with Node should have no problem converting their files: http://alfred.danieldiekmeier.de/
 
Thanks for your interest! <3

I guess focusing mode got changed in Alfred 3.
To change this go to Appearance → Options(Bottom left) → And switch Focusing mode from "Standard Mode" to "Compatibility Mode"
 
This should fix it

This should help you to get started with it: https://docs.npmjs.com/getting-started/installing-node
Here is Node.js: https://nodejs.org/en/
 
After that download the zip from github and unzip it in your downloads folder.
Now you should have a folder named "textexpander-to-alfred3-master" in your downloads folder.
 
Open Terminal → Type "cd Downloads" and press "Enter" to get into your downloads folder → then "cd textexpander-to-alfred3-master" press "Enter"
to get into the folder of the textexpander converter.
 
After that type "sudo npm install -g textexpander-to-alfred3" → you will have to type in your password (it won't show any signs or stars, so don't wonder)
Type in your password and press enter. It should run your command and give you something like this:
/usr/local/bin/textexpander-to-alfred3 -> /usr/local/lib/node_modules/textexpander-to-alfred3/textexpander-to-alfred3.js /usr/local/bin/te2a3 -> /usr/local/lib/node_modules/textexpander-to-alfred3/textexpander-to-alfred3.js /usr/local/lib └── textexpander-to-alfred3@0.0.3 After that you're almost done. Export groups from TextExpander and copy pasta them into the folder "textexpander-to-alfred3-master".
As you're still in that folder via Terminal you just have to type in something like "textexpander-to-alfred3 Signatures.textexpander" depending on your exported filename. It will create a file for Alfred that you can double click and you're done
 
Hope that helps ^^

Yup, you paste them into Terminal.
LaunchServices is the OS X subsystem that is responsible for tracking which applications are installed and which filetypes they can open.
Parallels does something I consider to be particularly dumb and uses the same names for its proxy applications as the native Mac versions. As a result, they often override the native applications.
Re-registering an application will update its entry in the LaunchServices database. Hopefully, this will lead to the Mac app taking precedence over the Parallels proxy.
De-registering the Parallels proxy app (make sure to adjust the path to the command) should remove it from the database. Don't do this if you ever want to use the windows 1Password from your Mac.

I think you've missed the point, which is don't use Run NSAppleScript.

The post Frozen_X has shared dates from Alfred v1 so the preferences don't look quite the same, but the idea remains the same. Here's a more current version of this documentation:
https://www.alfredapp.com/help/features/web-search/custom-searches/
 
If your friend has Alfred 2 installed as well, they'll be able to simply click the URL, which begins with alfred://, and they'll see the pop-up asking if they want to import the custom search.
 
If they're using Alfred version 1 (e.g. from the Mac App Store), they'll need to update to the current version of Alfred first.

Hey FroZen_X,
 
Thanks so much! That helped me a lot! I changed the hot key to ctrl + cmd + m and the windows are coming up much faster 
 
It is definitely still noticeably slower though coming up then going down so I did some more experimenting with your second comment about changing from Run NSAppleScript to Run Script; however it didn't seem to make a difference in speed, also when I tried switching the hotkey back to shift + cmd + m it went back to going slow so it seems like the hot key does matter even if it's a different script, am I missing something here? Like to I need to write a script in a different language for the windows to come up more snappily and to be able to use shift in the hotkey? Anyways, thanks so much for your help so far 

I'm silly....way way way better solution....forget about the delay or anything else....
Go to your workflow->doubly click on your hotkey to open the hotkey settings(can also right click->configure)->Right click in the hotkey field and change
the trigger behaviour to "Wait until modifier keys are released"
That will do it!
 
Always learn something new ^^

Create a new Workflow->Add a input like a keyword->Add the output "Open URL" and there you just insert the x-call
Here is an example: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ffjjf5lno0bipw9/Test%20workflow.alfredworkflow?dl=0

Pop up the "Get info" panel for Photoshop and add a Spotlight comment for "shop", which will allow Alfred and other apps to find it based on that keyword:

This already exists in Alfred see here: http://www.alfredforum.com/topic/8745-lock-alfred/
 
Easiest way is to go to Advanced -> History -> Activate "Show latest history if within 5 minutes"
