Move snippets to new computer

[dbetts]

I've moved my license over to my new computer, but how do I get my snippets and other info from my old computer to the new one?

 

Thanks!

The easiest way is to use Alfred's sync feature. On your old computer, tell Alfred to sync with e.g. ~/Dropbox/ (or other file syncing service). Wait for the sync to complete. Then on your new computer, tell Alfred to sync with the same location (in this case, ~/Dropbox/). Alfred will load all of your previous settings and workflows. This is the recommended way to transfer settings.

You can also transfer some settings manually, without syncing. Be aware that this method will not be as thorough as Alfred's built-in sync feature; for example, this method will not transfer your workflows. Before you do this, quit Alfred on both machines. Then copy your old computer's ~/Library/Application Support/Alfred 2/Alfred.alfredpreferences file to the same location (~/Library/Application Support/Alfred 2/Alfred.alfredpreferences) on the new computer; this will overwrite Alfred's.
