File Filter doesn't show everything

[nikivi]

I have a file filter that scans MindNode files

 

 

 

It is working really well however it doesn't show all options. For example I have a file named 'math' of this format in the folder : 

 

 

 

However when I search for 'Math' in my file filter I don't get the option for this file : 

 

 

 

If I scroll down, there is no 'math' file there either. This is certainly a bug and is not intended behaviour. Can this be fixed please?

@nikivi Could you install the metadata tool and drag the "math" file to it? This will show you what file type it belongs to.

 

You can download it here:

https://cachefly.alfredapp.com/tools/AlfredMetadataTool_v1.1.zip

 

It may be that some files have different file types or aren't stored in the same location. I'll be able to provide more guidance if you paste the results of a metadata check.

 

Cheers,

Here is the metadata for the file :

However it did come back and appear on the results. Not really sure why. I am certain it wasn't there before.

@nikivi Metadata all looks healthy. Have you tried simply renaming your file to something more specific? It's likely that there are just too many results for "math" and the file hasn't been used as recently as the other results.

 

Alfred presents you with the 40 most relevant results for the file name; I can see you've got a huge number of files that will match "math" so see if renaming it will help you narrow down your search by typing a more precise file name.
