(faster) Menu Search

[seng26]

Sorry hope this is the right place to post this. 

 

My menu bar search is not working between devices

 

I have Alfred on both my Mac laptop and desktop

However every time I load the extension on the other device it seems to just break and not work again.

Could it be do something with the Alfred sync settings? 

 

Error occurs when I trigger the hotkey or "m" and I wouldn't have any input. 

Hope this is enough info. 

Thank you.

Not exactly, but it will probably be related to your syncing service. What’s happening is that the binary is losing executable permissions. That happens if, for example, you use Maestral to sync your Dropbox.

Thank you for the reply. I'm currently using Dropbox to sync the settings. Might that be a known issue?

The setting you have in Alfred isn’t important, as the issue would be with the syncing itself. Also make sure preferences are set to be available offline. Reading that whole page will in general be beneficial to ensure your set up is correct.

Hey sorry I've tried to sync the Dropbox issues offline but to no avail. Still get this error. Thank you.

The copy you have is already broken. Fixing the syncing situation only matters for the future. Redownload the workflow and install it again.

Thanks for your help! 

I tried re-downloading it on my Macbook Air but after which the workflow in my Mac Mini just stopped working. 

I have set the Alfred Dropbox sync settings to be 'always available offline' also.

Not sure what is causing the issue.
