georgexsh Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 (edited) in alfred 3, I remember that I could use "monitor" to find and launch "Activity Monitor.app", but in afred 4, this doesn't work. however, I could still use "activity" to find it. ps: in my locale, the display name is "活动监视器.app" Edited June 14, 2019 by georgexsh Link to comment
deanishe Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 In Alfred 4, the metadata used to match applications has changed due to keyword spamming by lots of apps on the App Store. I don't know if this specifically covers (non-)localised names, but could you try turning on the "Match Application's keywords in default results" option in Alfred Preferences > General > Default Results?

deanishe Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Afraid I don’t know then. I’m sure @Vero can help. Link to comment
Vero Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 @georgexsh Could you please download the Alfred Metadata Tool and drag an app you can't find in Alfred to it? Paste the output in your email reply so that we can take a look at what metadata macOS is providing for this app. Here is the Metadata tool: https://cachefly.alfredapp.com/tools/AlfredMetadataTool_v1.1.zip Cheers, Vero Link to comment

jimboRen Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 I meet the same problem. I can't found the application which in /System/Applications/Utilities/ in alfred 4 Link to comment
jrgifford Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Can confirm, Alfred 4.0.2(1088) doesn't find anything under `/Application/Utilities`, even when I've added it. macOS 10.14.5 (18F132). Link to comment

Once you've updated, go to Features > Default Results and click "Reset" at the bottom of the Search Scope window to refresh the search scope and include the new paths from Catalina. You may also want to type "reload" into Alfred to refresh the application cache. Cheers, Vero jimboRen 1 Link to comment

Cheers, Vero I have the same problem. I had my desktop files synced with the iCloud, thus all the desktop files are stored in the ~/Library/CloudStorage/iCloud Drive/desktop After I add the desktop folder to the Search Scope I still couldn't find any result in it, but the SPOTLIGHT does find results. So will it be fixed after rebuild metadata? THX Link to comment
