after setting preferences sync location alfred no longer starts

[psifertex 2]

I'm migrating from an older computer to a new computer. I sync'ed my Documents folder with Dropbox and then I sent to the Alfred settings and pointed it toward the location. It asked to restart, and I did so at which point alfred became non-responsive.

 

I killed the process in a terminal and re-ran it from the CLI. Here's what the output looks like:

No matter how long I let it sit there, it just hangs.

 

I suppose I can probably remove all my preferences but I'd rather not have to manually recreate all my settings/snippets/workflows from my old computer. Any suggestions?

@psifertex The first thing to try is to keep your settings backed up and safe, and reset Alfred to see if things work with a default set of settings.

Once things are up and running, I'll help you get it working with your synced prefs.

 

Cheers,

That did the trick. After a fresh uninstall/reinstall, Alfred picked up on the sync'ed settings and was working fine. I had to manually add alfred to the "full disk access" as it wasn't showing up as something I could enable. Maybe that was related? Either way, all set. Thanks for the help.
