renforter Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 I have an application that installed in a subfolder of the Application folder. In Alfred 4 I had no problem launching it by just typing the app name and hitting enter. In Alfred 5 it does not appear in the list when I type the name. It would be nice to restore this capability. It wont run if I move the app into the Applications folder. Link to comment
renforter Posted March 8, 2023 Author Share Posted March 8, 2023 In the meantime how can I create a hotkey that will launch this and other apps in subfolders? I have been scouring help and getting burned out. Your help is appreciated. Link to comment
Stephen_C Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 What version of macOS are you using? What is your Search Scope under Alfred Preferences → Features → Default Results? I ask only because I am able to use Alfred launch applications in sub-folders of the Applications folder. Stephen Link to comment
renforter Posted April 3, 2023 Author Share Posted April 3, 2023 Thanks for responding on this issue! macos 12.6.3 I went and added the two folders to the Default Results Scope list. I STILL cant bring up apps in either of those two folders. Apps in the Utilities folder do come up in Alfred 5.0.6 Roger Link to comment
Vero Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 @renforter Could you please open Alfred's preferences to Help > Troubleshooting > File Troubleshooting and drag the apps in question into the File Troubleshooter? If you could please paste the full output in your reply, we'll be able to see what metadata is present or missing for those apps, which will make it easier for us to help you from there Link to comment
