solved [SOLVED] Upgrading from Alfred 2 > 4 lost my snippets

[kevkoeh]

I upgraded from Alfred 2 to Alfred 4 (both with powerpacks). I followed the migration instructions a couple times. The migration assistant found my previous version. I was able to "use synched" on preferences migration (also tried "copy preferences"). All options were available there.

 

While most of my preferences seem to have transferred just fine, none of my snippets made it over to Alfred 4. 

 

Snippets are the most crucial feature in Alfred for me and I have hundreds in Alfred 2. What's going wrong? How an I move the snippets? 

Thank you.

@kevkoeh Alfred 2 has a significantly different underlying structure for snippets, so they aren't automatically migrated to Alfred 4.

 

I actually wrote a little app which can import the v2 snippets and output a v4 compatible snippet collection file for import. Pop an email to our info@ address and I'll share the app with you (with some additional instructions).

 

Cheers,

Andrew
