Programmatically access Alfred's "Local" preferences plist

[luckman212]

I have a Python script contained in my Workflow that needs to know the state of the enabledFiles setting which is a Local preference, apparently stored at:

 

<path-to-synced-prefs>/Alfred.alfredpreferences/preferences/local/<sha1-hash-of-???>/features/clipboard/prefs.plist

 

I can't figure out how to reverse the hash/ID (sha1?) that identifies the local machine. I assume it's some combination of Machine SN#, name, type, etc. but I can't find documentation on that anywhere. Hoping someone can help...🙂

Nevermind—found it!

 

Apparently he exports the following environment variable: alfred_preferences_localhash

 

Still a mystery how it's generated, but it's one that won't necessarily keep me awake at night.
