Where can I find my workflows on my hard drive

[Christophe31]

Hi all,

I installed Maverick today morning, I made a clean install. Now I would like to find my workflows files on the clone of my old system (ML) to put on my new one.

Where can I find these workflows files ?

Thank you for your help.

Thank you for your help.

 

I found my workflows stored in ~/Library/Application Support/Alfred 2/Alfred.alfredpreferences/workflows/

 

They will be randomly-named folders, not files

 

You may also want to copy these folders to your new system:

• ~/Library/Application Support/Alfred 2/Workflow Data
• ~/Library/Caches/com.runningwithcrayons.Alfred-2/Workflow Data

These are, respectively, the cache and data folders used by your workflows.

 

Cheers

Thank you so much, it really helps as I need to trasnplant it to new systems.

You can also use Dropbox to sync which saves all your settings and workflows. That has been the easiest way for me

This is what I was looking for. Thank you, I'm reinstalling the OS and Alfred is a key part of my workflow.

@GatorMapi You should copy the entire Alfred.alfredpreferences file, not individual items within it if you're looking to set up a new Mac. You could also sync the first Mac to Dropbox, if you're keeping both Macs for personal use:

If you want specific workflows, you can export them by right-clicking them in the sidebar in Alfred's Workflows tab and choose Export
