snapshots broken on latest alfred & latest mac os x

[snoblenet]

I have upgraded to the latest Mac OS X and the latest Alfred.

 

Now when I take a selection snapshot using Alfred, the captured image is of the right dimensions and location, but it's a snapshot of my desktop image not the top-most window.

Please specify actual version numbers, not just "latest". There are currently two "latest" versions of Alfred because you might be on the "pre-release" channel or the standard one.

 

And the latest version may change an hour after you post.

Mac OS X 10.15

Alfred 4.0.4 [1111]

Worth nothing that the Mac's own cmd-shift-4 is still working correctly

Then which method of taking a screenshot isn't working?

[snoblenet]

Sorry I can see now this feature is provided by the 'Screen Capture and Edit2' Alfred workflow, which calls the Mac's built-in screencapture command line utility, which seems to be broken with the upgrade. I'll let Apple know. I take it from your response that Alfred 4 provides a built-in way of capturing screenshots which avoids the need to use a third-party workflow?

No, it doesn't, AFAIK, which is why I asked. This forum is only for bugs in Alfred itself. If a workflow has a problem, you should report it in the workflow's thread in the "Share your Workflows" forum.
