File actions: Adding ~/ to file path made Alfred unresponsive.

[politicus]

I wanted to move a file from my ~/Downloads/ folder to one of my ~/Dropbox/ folder using the Alfred action "Move to...".

 

After the file was selected, "Move to" action was selected, I typed "Dropbox".

 

The results I got were not satisfying as I only got three and none of them were the ~/Dropbox/ folder.

 

I then decided to add ~/ before "Drobpbox". At that very moment Alfred started to use 60% of my Mac CPU. 

 

The only solution was to restart Alfred via the Activity Monitor. Experienced it three times.

 

Had no problem of CPU, when instead of typing "Dropbox" then "~/", I typed /Users/UserName/Dropbox/

Or when I navigated between the folders with the left and right arrows.

 

Alfred v4.0.3 (1092)

Mac OS X 10.12.6

Is this the same as this:

Yes. Sorry for the duplicate.

 

Didn't experienced anything bad with "copy to" as I didn't try this file action.

@politicus does 4.0.4 fix the issue for you?

[politicus]

Yes it does. 

Thank you!
