sphardy Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 (edited) Hi I noticed recently that it takes 10 seconds for the file buffer actions window to open when using the Opt+Cmd+\ hotkey on a finder selection. (Literally 10 seconds - I've timed it) I am running the latest 2.0.3 release and have restarted Alfred after temporarily removing my sync'ed preferences to see if any custom workflow was the cause - the problem remains. I also downgraded to 2.0.2 but that didn't help either. Finally I cleared the caches - again no change. (Edit: Removing ~/Library/Application Support/Alfred 2 doesn't fix the issue either - feels like I've effectively completely reinstalled Alfred and the problem remains) The standard Alfred popup is instantaneous as always as is the file search window triggered with Opt+Cmd+/ Could someone please advise? Thanks MacBook Pro running OSX 10.8.3 Edited May 8, 2013 by sphardy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks MacBook Pro running OSX 10.8.3 Just to clarify, in your post you said the "file buffer actions" and said your hotkey was cmd+opt+\, that isn't the hotkey for the file buffer actions. By default, cmd+opt+\ is the hotkey to action a file(s) selected in Finder. With files in the file buffer, the hotkey to action them is opt+right arrow. So, with that being said, can you verify if things are working the way that I described or are you still having issues? If you are still having issues, can you clarify a little in the post exactly what's going on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sphardy Posted May 9, 2013 Author Share Posted May 9, 2013 I used the incorrect term - this is to action files selected in Finder. When files are selected and I press cmd+opt+\ then it takes 10s for the Alfred window to appear Same is true if I use cmd+opt+/ to navigate to a file (which works instantly) and then press Fn to open the same action window Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you please try creating a new user in OS X, switching to that user and trying Alfred from there?

sphardy Posted May 11, 2013 Author Share Posted May 11, 2013 Think I've found the issue. I use the Finder extension TotalFinder - I tried disabling that and Alfred started to respond immediately again . It also responds immediately after restarting TotalFinder, so something odd appears to have happened, perhaps after a recent update to TotalFinder, which a restart has cured. Note that I've run TotalFinder for as long as I've run Alfred - all without issue - so I'm hoping this was a spurious issue and not some new general incompatibility with TotalFinder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
