Issue with "Reveal File in Finder" block?

[Chris Messina]

Odd Finder error when I use a workflow that has a "Reveal File in Finder" block:

 

 

When I make my selection from the List Filter, I get this error message after several seconds:

 

"The “Show in Finder” service could not be used because the “Finder” application did not respond to a request for services."

Clicking "Show Application" caused Finder to appear several minutes later.

 

This was the only Alfred-related message in the console: 

 

Jul 23 16:17:38 BunnySlut com.apple.xpc.launchd[1]: Coalition Cache Hit: app<application.com.runningwithcrayons.Alfred-Preferences.423402080.423402086(501)> [4792]

 

It seems like the issue has resolved itself, but I've never seen this issue before.

I have never seen this before, how very odd. I also believe that this is entirely outside of Alfred's control, as Alfred uses a super simple Apple API call to perform a reveal in finder. Let me know if you see this again, and perhaps we can look into it more deeply - it may be something you have installed on your Mac which is interfering with this.

Ok, thanks @Andrew. I've never seen it either! It only appeared after I'd just upgraded to macOS 11.5 (20G71). Will keep an eye out.
