Custom Web Searches deleted after upgrading to 2.0.3(187).


Recommended Posts

I just upgraded to 2.0.3(187) from (186) and it seems that all of my custom web searches have been lost and the web searches which I have disabled have been reenabled. has anyone else experienced this? I have my configuration sync'd via Dropbox with another computer which is running the same release.

Do you have any 'auto cleaning' app which could have deleted Alfred's base preferences (e.g. sync location) on upgrading?

 

All of your settings are stored in the .alfredpreferences file, so if you re-set the sync location in Alfred's Advanced preferences to Dropbox, then they should come back :)

Hello Andrew,

 

         Thank you for your response, I did as you suggested and went into Alfred to reset the sync folder for the preferences to Dropbox but it was already set to Dropbox, Alfred asked if I wanted to keep the existing folder, to which I replied yes. To your first question, I don't have anything, that I am aware of, which would be "cleaning up" that particular folder. I also checked my trash and didn't see any an alfred preferences file in there. Can I safely restore a time machine backup of that file and replace it in my dropbox folder?  If so are there any particular precautions I should take before doing so? 

 

Thank you,

Tim

You should be able to restore from time machine fine. Take a manual backup of the Alfred.alfredpreferences file first just in case. I'd also be tempted to stop using Dropbox temporarily to rule out Dropbox causing the issue, then delete the files from Dropbox and re-setup Dropbox syncing.
