pluckytree Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 I have Alfred 2 set with a Search Scope that includes this path: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform But it won't find anything at that level in the hierarchy or below. Is it because it's a bundle? Link to comment

Is it because it's a bundle? OS X is a bit funny how it indexes these folders as they are in a bundle. However, if you add: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/Applications/ Alfred will find the iPhone Simulator Link to comment

You may find adding the specific paths to the items you need will work. Unlike folders outside of a bundle, it doesn't look like OS X's metadata server recursively searches when looking in a bundle.

It should fine files in the top level of that path. Here's another path I entered: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Extras/Applications The folder contains 15 applications and Alfred doesn't find any of them.

I don't have that folder in Xcode - what did you install to get it? Link to comment
pluckytree Posted April 8, 2013 Author Share Posted April 8, 2013 I can't reveal the exact path, but I basically renamed the last folder in the path to "Foo" and it still doesn't work. Perhaps I can manually copy it out of the bundle whenever I update Xcode tools. Link to comment
