jakemauer Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 System info: OSX 10.8.3 Alfred 2.0.3(187) Reproducable: Yes Steps to reproduce: Duplicate a theme, naming it Keep it selected. Close Alfred Preferences through cmd+Q or clicking the red x. Use Alfred hotkey to bring up Alfred window. Press cmd+p to bring up Alfred Preferences which should start on the Appearances panel. All custom/imported themes are gone leaving only the defaults of which the first is now selected. Additionally my Appearance Options were: [x] Hide hat on Alfred window [x] Hide prefs cog [ ] Hide result subtext [ ] Hide result shortcuts [x] Hide menu bar icon They now are all deselected, but continue to behave as if they were selected as above.

This could potentially be some form of permissions issue. A result of Alfred not being able to write to the directory or file that the appearance settings are stored in. Could you try repairing permissions on the drive? This option is available inside of Disk Utility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakemauer Posted April 30, 2013 Author Share Posted April 30, 2013 Repairing permissions seemed to find issues in areas you would expect would make a difference, but Alfred continues to exhibit the same behavior, even after quitting and reopening.

Andrew Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Repairing permissions seemed to find issues in areas you would expect would make a difference, but Alfred continues to exhibit the same behavior, even after quitting and reopening. If you have syncing setup, there could be an issue outside of Alfred's control (e.g. sync clash). If so, could you try setting your sync folder to a local folder e.g. Documents.

jakemauer Posted April 30, 2013 Author Share Posted April 30, 2013 Hey Andrew, Syncing hadn't been enabled. Enabling it and choosing ~/Documents as the sync location seems to have fixed it. I'll keep testing throughout the day and verify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiedye Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 I am having a very similar error. I have two machines, each of which syncs Alfred preferences to dropbox. One machine does not loose custom theme information when preferences is opened, the other does. I have tried turning one machine off and the issue still persists.

There could be some dropbox clashing going on - could you try syncing to a different Dropbox folder just to 'start fresh'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zagdul Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 same issue here. on one machine the theme is "forgotten" instantly. Just import the theme, close the option window - theme is shown when displaying alfred. Open the options again - theme is gone, default theme shown. Don't know what could cause this, but dropbox is used for syncing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know what could cause this, but dropbox is used for syncing. Could you first please try repairing disk permissions in OS X's Disk Utility.app, and then try a different sync folder, possibly outside of Dropbox for a bit (e.g. ~/Documents/)? If this works, then fully delete the Alfred preferences which have been left in Dropbox, wait for it to sync and put back again. Cheers, Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zagdul Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 it seems to be working again - just set a different sync folder for once. And restarted alfred - that worked. Then I copied the "new" alfred.preferences into the dropbox folder and at least on this machine it still works! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
