  1. What you were doing when the issue happened Almost every time I use the "define" keyword Whether you were able to replicate it see above Include any screenshots that might help us Not needed Include the version and build number from Alfred's General preferences (Don't say "latest", please be specific) Alfred 5.1.4 Build 2195, Wednesday 25th October 2023 Include the version and build number from macOS and any apps that are relevant to the issue you're seeing M1, Mac OS Ventura 13.3.1 Almost every time that I enter the keyword 'Define" followed by the word to be defined, what comes up is the dictionary for the first 1-3 characters of the word. I have to retype the whole word if I can remember it. Only rarely does it bring up the full word and its definition.
  2. Thanks for following up. I removed and re-added Alfred 5 to Accessibility. I will let you know how I get on.
  3. Of course now that I work as you tell me with Textedit, it is working fine. There didnt seem to be any particular app where the problem occured. It seemed widespread and pervasive, frequent. But I will track it more carefully now and notice which apps and circumstances trigger the problem. Thanks for responding so promptly.
  4. * What you were doing when the issue happened This is happening frequently, almost routinely, doing opt+cmd+C and selecting the item I want to paste or just doing Cmd+V expecting it to paste the last item copied to the clipboard with cmd+C * Whether you were able to replicate it a second time by performing the same action replicates routinely, frequently * Include any screenshots that might help us * Include the Alfred version & build number you are using (don't say "latest" - you'll find a version number in the Update tab of Alfred's preferences) Alfred 5.1.4 * Include your macOS version 13.3.1 I will copy material and then immediately go cmd+V and it will paste an old clipboard item. Sometimes it will get fixated on one particular item and always copy that same item no matter what I do. Just now I entered one of my own snippet codse that I had created and instead of expanding it correctly it pasted the clipboard item of the moment that it was fixated on. Same problem even if I do opt+cmd+C and scroll down or use a key to select a clipboard item Roger
  5. Thanks for responding on this issue! macos 12.6.3 I went and added the two folders to the Default Results Scope list. I STILL cant bring up apps in either of those two folders. Apps in the Utilities folder do come up in Alfred 5.0.6 Roger
  6. In the meantime how can I create a hotkey that will launch this and other apps in subfolders? I have been scouring help and getting burned out. Your help is appreciated.
  7. I have an application that installed in a subfolder of the Application folder. In Alfred 4 I had no problem launching it by just typing the app name and hitting enter. In Alfred 5 it does not appear in the list when I type the name. It would be nice to restore this capability. It wont run if I move the app into the Applications folder.
  8. I ran the troubleshooting once and it recommended changing the search area from Default to the entire disk, which I did. That improved results dramatically, as might be expected. But I searched on "flavonoids" which should have been found in one file, so I did the trouble shooting on that file. The results are below. One error is listed: >>>>>>> Check if volume '/' is indexed by macOS... ⚠️ Indexing may not be enabled on this drive /: Index is read-only. <<<<< From briefly perusing the troubleshooting on indexing it looks like I will have to do a low level reindex. How do I enable it for the full drive? Thanks, Starting Diagnostics...

  9. I have never used Spotlight much. But just now it does seem to find either files or the words in those files that I type in at the prompt. Roger
  10. My 2016 MacBookPro had the keyboard problem that apparently was the subject of a class action lawsuit that Apple lost. It would duplicate certain characters, Ls and Os mostly. I wasnt aware that C was a problem. Maybe so. Anyway working on an external keyboard now and not having the problem. Thanks for responding on this.
  11. Sorry I ddint get back sooner. Had that macBPro die on me. Its in the shop. Define is working for me now on the new Mac Mini. But Open and Find are not working. I posted about that.
  12. Alfred 5.0.6 (2110) on Mac OS 12.6.3 is not responding correctly to keywords Find and Open. Havent tried other keywords yet. With my Alfred hotkey I get the Alfred prompt but... When I type in Find alone it says "Reveal file in Finder" as the second option, but when I continue with the word I want to find it switches to Find Google, Amazon, and Wikipedia as the options available. When I type in Open alone it says "Open file... Search for files on your Mac and open" but when I continue with the filename I want to open it switches to the same three options. It was working before on another MacBookPro with the same Alfred and OS versions. But I restored from a Time Machine backup of that machine onto this new machine after upgrading it to the same OS version and the problem started when I try to use Alfred. One interesting point is that the Find and Open icon used initially is the Mac Finder icon, not the Alfred icon.
  13. It was working earlier today. Nothing changed. It stopped functioning. Entering "define blah" in the Alfred prompt does nothing. I noticed that Alfred 5 was available so I upgraded to it from V.4 and the powerpack for it. Still the same issue.
  14. How about Visual Foxpro? Just kidding. That is what I was working in when I quit the programmer world. A great language but it didnt fit with MS business model that promoted the crappy Access on everyone's desktop instead. What Python framework do you use? Thanks for your help.
  15. Thanks! Need to bare down and learn workflows. Nice to have this very useful example. It answers my immediate need. Is learning python a necessity? Are other languages used for workflows? Would Apple Script work too?
