FlyingTruelle Posted September 27, 2017 Posted September 27, 2017 (edited) Hi, Since I switched to macOS 10.13 I have some problems with Alfred. Indeed, I had to lower the window blur to reduce the lag. This problem is now solved. On the other hand, I have another "esthetic" concern: When I call Alfred, the window opens normally: the theme is displayed correctly (1st photo) But if I use the actions panel for a selected file, there is a kind of white frame which appears behind the window (2nd picture) And so, this frame reappears as I use Alfred (3rd picture). I have to change the theme to make disappear this frame. Is there a solution to this problem? Kind regards, Julien PS: Sorry for my poor English... Edited September 30, 2017 by FlyingTruelle
Diegobit Posted September 27, 2017 Posted September 27, 2017 I have this issue too (High Sierra stable 17A365, Alfred 3.5 (876)! It's the transparency that brakes (It also happens with blur set to 0). If you add a file to the buffer the upper part becomes completely opaque. I attach two pictures with "Alfred MacOS" theme.
Vero Posted September 27, 2017 Posted September 27, 2017 @FlyingTruelle @Diegobit Thanks for your respective posts - This seems to be a High Sierra bug and only affects a small subset of Macs, with specific graphics cards, so we've been unable to replicate it with our own hardware here. Could you please let me know exactly what Mac hardware you're both using? Cheers, Vero
Diegobit Posted September 27, 2017 Posted September 27, 2017 Of course! Thank you MacBook Pro 13” TouchBar 2016 i5-6267U - Iris 550 Do you need anything else?
FlyingTruelle Posted September 27, 2017 Author Posted September 27, 2017 And for me : MacBook Pro 15 Mid 2012 NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M and Intel HD Graphics 4000
Andrew Posted September 28, 2017 Posted September 28, 2017 We are gathering together information to put together a bug report for Apple relating to Quick Look / the Quick Look preview panel, for now, if you are not fussed about seeing this, you can turn off rich file previews in Alfred's Features > File Search > Previews. Cheers, Andrew
Andrew Posted September 28, 2017 Posted September 28, 2017 Anybody experiencing this issue, could they try this build: http://cachefly.alfredapp.com/scratch/Alfred_3.5.1_878.dmg ...which replaces the QLPreviewPanel with a static icon representation of the file instead in both Alfred's file navigation view and clipboard history file view. Note that this is essentially an untested beta build, but should work fine. Diegobit 1
Diegobit Posted September 28, 2017 Posted September 28, 2017 With this build I don't see the issue anymore (I'm trying for a few minutes)
FlyingTruelle Posted September 28, 2017 Author Posted September 28, 2017 The same for me, no more issue with this build ! Thanks

Indeed, I had to lower the window blur to reduce the lag. This problem is now solved. I've noticed an issue when I try invoke Alfred in macOS High Sierra. Sometimes the hotkey doesn't do anything the first time I invoke Alfred and I have to do it again. I'm not sure if this is related to the lag issue? On the other hand, Spotlight opens immediately when I invoke it using its hotkeys.
Andrew Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 @pauljacobson double check that Alfred's hotkey isn't conflicting with Spotlights - if you are getting intermediate behaviour like this, it's more usually a hotkey conflict.
depressiveRobot Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 Same issue here with blur, also installed Alfred_3.5.1_878.dmg. About My Mac: macOS High Sierra 10.13 (17A365) MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013) Intel Iris Pro 1536 MB
Vero Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 @depressiveRobot The fix in 3.5.1 should be stopping the original issue described in this post so if you're using the latest build and are still having this issue, could you please provide more details? In which situations exactly do you see the issue, which theme are you using, etc? You can also double-check you're running the right build by clicking on the bowler hat in the menu bar, where you'll see which version and build you're using Cheers, Vero

The issue is now fixed. I can set blur to max without any lag. However, the lag was still there after updating to version 3.5.1 [878] yesterday. Maybe the incremental High Sierra update today or the system restart fixed it now. Nevertheless, thank you for the fix!

Thanks for the suggestion. That isn't it. I re-mapped the Spotlight trigger keys to Option+Space so I could use Cmd+Space for Alfred.

I'll manually update and see if this resolves my issue too.
depressiveRobot Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 Unfortunately, the problem still exists! My setup consists of two displays: the internal display (MacBook) and an external one. When blur is set to maximum: both displays, Alfred on the external display: no lag both displays, Alfred on internal display: lag only external display: no lag only internal display: lag Setting blur to under 50%, there is no lag at all (no matter which setup). Theme: https://github.com/depressiveRobot/alfred-theme-material-mac Alfred: v3.5.1 [878] macOS: 10.13 (17A405)
pauljacobson Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 On my side, I don't seem to have version 3.5.1 available to me as an update so I can't even test that version to determine if it resolves my issue.
Vero Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 @pauljacobson As per Andrew's post above, 3.5.1 was available as a beta from the download link provided in his post only. It'll be available through pre-releases shortly if you'd rather wait, but if you'd prefer to grab it right away, follow the link above. Cheers, Vero pauljacobson 1
