Excluding hidden mac files from a search


Recommended Posts

Hi there,

 

Fairly new to Alfred :)

 

When I search for documents Alfred pulls back hidden files. Is this normal? At least for PowerPoint files. So the file will start with "~$" (see image below). Normally these files aren't viewable in Finder unless you have view hidden files enabled - but it appears PowerPoint creates them - I think when autosaving.

 

Anyway, is it possible to not see invisible file when searching? 

 

Many Thanks

 

Joe
