Workflows / Alfred 5.5 Beta

[GrimlocK]

macOS : Sonoma 14.4

Alfred : 5.5 (2555)

 

Hi,

 

When I tried to update it using the Alfred gallery tab, it remained duplicated. 

 

I've also tested it by removing it and installing it manually, with the same result.
If you have a solution, please let me know.

 

Thanks

@GrimlocK Looks like you have two instances of the same ChatGPT workflow. Could you delete the disabled one? Or if it's there for a reason, change the bundle ID (by right-clicking it and choosing "Edit details".

Hi @Vero

 

I deliberately disabled it to apply the new version.
If I want to delete one after an Alfred restart, the workflow comes back.

From your screenshot, it looks like you change the icons of every workflow. Are you making any other changes? It’s not clear to me from the description what were your exact steps. Try deleting both workflows, then restarting Alfred, then installing the right one from the Gallery.

Hi @vitor

 

Thanks for the return. 

 

I'm not making any changes, except for the icons indeed.

I wanted to delete them and when I relaunch Alfred, it automatically reinstates them.

 

I haven't completely deleted the Alfred application and its files. If I can avoid it, but if I have to, then okay.

 

Thanks

@GrimlocK Could you please provide your Diagnostics file, which you can get by typing "?diagnostics" into Alfred? You can then email it to our info@ address, so that I can take a look at your sync configuration, as what you describe (trying to delete a workflow, and it comes back) sounds like Alfred doesn't have permission to make changes to the location where you've saved your preferences, or that a backup/sync service is reinstating files behind the scenes.

 

Cheers,
Vero

Hi @Vero

 

yes without problem. 

 

I just sent the log file.

 

Thanks

@GrimlocK Taking a look at your Sync settings, I can see that you're using ~/Documents/Alfred Settings/ as the location for your preferences, which will be synced via iCloud.

 

First, quit Alfred and copy the Alfred.alfredpreferences file from your sync location to:
~/Library/Application Support/Alfred/

 

In the Application Support folder, delete the prefs.json file and relaunch Alfred.

 

In the Advanced Preferences, Alfred should now say that your preferences are not synced. Try using your preferences in this location, and see if you get normal behaviour in terms of updating workflows, removing duplicates, etc.

 

This takes iCloud out of the equation, and we can then set that back up next.

Hi @Vero

 

After quitting the alfred application and deleting the .json file. I went to the advanced preferences and retrieved my preferences folder, and I still have the same problem.

 

Thanks

@GrimlocK you aren't following Vero's instructions, which are to move your preferences back to the default location.

 

To reiterate and clarify:

 

1. Quit Alfred

2. Copy Alfred.alfredpreferences preferences from ~/Documents/Alfred Settings/ to ~/Library/Application Support/Alfred/

3. Delete ~/Library/Application Support/Alfred/prefs.json

4. Restart Alfred

 

Don't do anything further with your preferences.

 

Now delete the Chat GPT workflow and try installing fresh from the gallery.

 

Cheers,

Andrew
