Open with Finder instead of PathFinder

[lenny_leonard]

Hello,

I've been using Alfred (2.9) with Power Pack and PathFinder for a long time and until now all my open/reveal in finder from Alfred were correctly opened in PathFinder.

I can't remember how I set this behavior at the time.

Anyway, I'm not using PathFinder anymore and I want to switch back to Finder.

I opened PathFinder and I've unchecked the "Set as default File Browser", relaunched Alfred and Finder but Alfred still open PathFinder.

I've checked the files: 

~/Library/Preferences/com.runningwithcrayons.Alfred-2.plist

~/Library/Preferences/com.runningwithcrayons.Alfred-Preferences.plist

but there is nothing there pointing to PathFinder or Finder.

How can I remove PathFinder as default file browser from alfred?

Alfred doesn't have a default handler for folders: it just asks the system to reveal/open the folder.

 

It sounds like your  settings haven’t taken. Try running open ~/Desktop in Terminal and see which application opens. That’s basically the same as what Alfred does.

Hmm. Are you talking about Alfred's built-in Open/Reveal actions, or workflows? Because you might have changed workflows or File Filters to explicitly use Path Finder.

 

A reboot is always worth a try, too.
