rogerdpack Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 As a note, it would be nice/kind if I could type "users" into alfred and it would pop up the accounts preferences as an option (since that's related to users).

vitor Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 I does, all of the system preferences do. I don’t think that’s even a powerpack feature, but Andrew, David, or Vero will be able to say for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers! -roger- Hi Roger, Typing "Users" should indeed show Users & Accounts from System Preferences. If you don't see this, first check that you've kept "Preferences" checked under Features > Default Results > Essentials. If you have, it's likely that the metadata on your Mac is missing for that system pref. Go to Alfred's Advanced tab and click "Rebuild OS X Metadata" - This can take up to an hour, but will ensure that OS X's index is up to date, so that it can provide the right results to Alfred. In the future, if any files aren't found, you can use this troubleshooting page for useful steps: http://support.alfredapp.com/kb:indexing Cheers, Vero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerdpack Posted December 27, 2013 Author Share Posted December 27, 2013 Ok thanks for the tips! After rebuilding the index and making sure that all the "essentials" were check-boxed, same result behavior. I think what's causing it is (at least for me, 10.6.8) that in system -> preferences it is named just "accounts" so when I search for accounts, I see this: http://twitpic.com/dq74kc (sorry, there was seemingly no easy image upload feature in this forum?) and when I search for user, I see this: http://twitpic.com/dq74jb (of course, whenever I want to edited a user, I search for user, then have to remember "oh yeah, it's called something else" so I guess something like hints would help in this case). Cheers and best wishes! -roger- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
