Ignore files from application folders


Recommended Posts

Hi all!

 

When I'm searching for files (starting the query with a space or 'open'), I also get a lot of unnecessary
results that are inside some application folders.

For example Adobe-software will create a folder for each application in ~/Applications/ with inside of that the app itself,
and quite some subfolders all filled with more subfolders and an enormous amount of miscellaneous files.

 

I've long managed this by adding these subfolders to Spotlight's privacy tab.

Is there a better way to solve this?

 

Thanks for any help!  :)

You can add 'alfred:ignore' to the Spotlight comments (but you'll have to add this to every individual item you want to blacklist)
