dennis.a Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Hello, I'm attempting to use File Selection: Open With... to specify an app to open a file in, but fuzzy matching isn't selecting the app that I want to use. Searching the feature request forum turned up this thread specifying what I was looking for, along with a reply that it would be included in Alfred 2.4, but I'm running v3 and have never seen this feature work. Is there anything I need to reset or a preference I haven't ticked to get it to work properly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanishe Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 AFAIK, Alfred doesn't use its fuzzy search in its Open With… list, but rather its simple word-starts-with search. A feature suggestion may be appropriate. To my mind, it seems only reasonable to expect that the same application abbreviations you're used to typing into Alfred's main search box would work in its Open With… box.

Andrew Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 @dennis.a It looks like you've actually spotted a bug - if you have fuzzy set to "Fuzzy capital letters" in Alfred's Advanced prefs, this works as expected, but when set to fuzzy from word boundary, the behaviour doesn't match the default results as intended. I'm going to move this to the bugs forum and have it fixed for the next release Cheers, Andrew deanishe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dennis.a Posted February 8, 2017 Author Share Posted February 8, 2017 Thank you very much! I'm glad I could help expose this bug. Second one I've found this week. (I emailed a few days ago about a typographical bug in the interface). Looking forward to the update. dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 @dennis.a the typographical one is 10.9 specific as the font was wider and macOS wasn't correctly adapting the field length. These are odd ones to spot as we very rarely boot up 10.9 so thanks for that Cheers, Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 This is now fixed in the 3.1.1 pre-release b804 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
