Any way to get alfred_preferences_localhash without running a workflow script?

[Mr Pennyworth]

Most of Alfred's settings are available just by looking at various configuration files. However, I wasn't able to figure out how to get hold of alfred_preferences_localhash.

Is there a way?

 

Currently, I need to run a script in a workflow, and dump the environment variable to a file. I'm just curious about alternate ways.

Also, out of curiosity, how does Alfred compute this hash?

@Mr Pennyworth This isn't available outside of a workflow, but I've just made a tweak which will write it to the prefs.json in Alfred's app support folder for the next build.

 

It's simply a salted hash of the mac's serial number, to keep it obscured if people use a syncing service.

 

Cheers,
