The first thing to do is quit Alfred and then repair your OS X disk permissions in Disk Utility.app. Then restart your Mac and restart Alfred to see if this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lululau Posted March 19, 2013 Author Share Posted March 19, 2013 Take a look at this help article which Vero just put together: http://support.alfredapp.com/kb:persisting-preferences I created a new user account, and login with the new account then open Alfred and did some preference settings, and the issue still exists. In fact I found that the 'Alfred Preferences' application did persist preferecens I've changed out to the "~/Library/Application Support/Alfred 2/*/*.plist" files, but after relauch the option checkboxes on the 'Alfred Preferences' application panels still keep the original default values.

Andrew Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 On this new user profile (where syncing wouldn't have been setup), could you zip up and send me all the files listed in step 3 of that guide... info@alfredapp com Also do you have any unusual setup for your user folder, like symlinking or separate drive etc. Cheers, Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 User folder on a separate drive should be absolutely fine - is the Alfred.alfredpreferences being created correctly in the Application Support/Alfred 2 folder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
