cameronreilly Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 I used to be able to open Alfred preferences via Alfred. But recently it's stopped working and I can't figure out why. Alfred can see the file, but it doesn't open. If I type "find" before it, it opens up the directory where the preferences file is, but I can't open the preferences from there either. I have to go to the menu bar to open it. Any ideas? Screenshot attached. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfay Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 You can just use command-comma . Doesn’t solve the underlying problem but it will get you to the destination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your screenshot is showing your synced preferences, not the application that calls Alfred Preferences. That one should be in /Applications/Alfred 3.app/Contents/Preferences/Alfred Preferences.app. Open Alfred and call reload. That might fix it. If it does not, follow the troubleshooting steps.

Andrew Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 If you type 'preferences' into Alfred, you'll get "Show Alfred's Preferences" in the results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cameronreilly Posted April 10, 2019 Author Share Posted April 10, 2019 Thanks, just tried that, didn't work unfortunately. I get System Preferences, but not Alfred Preferences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah I'm very familiar with that, use it a hundred times a day, but didn't realise it would work when the Alfred search bar is up. I guess I should have though.
