Fails to Launch app in subfolder of Applications folder


Recommended Posts

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.

  1. What version of macOS are you using?
  2. 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.

@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 :)
