Where are snippets stored?

[brightonpete]

I was mucking about with snippets & wanted to delete one. But with only one +/-, I ended up deleting all of my snippets. I want to restore them from a Time Machine back-up, but need to know where they are stored. Hopefully one can restore them!

 

I went into Time Machine & restored the app from a few days ago, but that didn't get them back.

~/Library/Application Support/Alfred 3/Databases/snippets.alfdb

Of course, I should have known that!

 

thanks vitor!

If I'm not mistaken, the raw snippets themselves are in

 

synclocation/Alfred/Alfred.alfredpreferences/snippets/

 

cf. https://github.com/derickfay/import-alfred-snippets

 

Presumably the .alfdb file is generated from those for purposes of speed etc.

I can confirm that all of my snippets are saved as .json files in the following directory:

~/Library/Application\ Support/Alfred\ 3/Alfred.alfredpreferences/snippets/Alfred\ 2\ Snippets

I've been able to successfully move this directory between machines, restart Alfred and find all of my snippets are present on my freshly reinstalled system
