Chris Messina Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I inadvertently moved the Alfred folder in my root Dropbox folder and somehow broke Alfred's ability to access my workflows, even after I restored the folder to its previous location. These files are located in the .alfredpreferences/workflows directory (so I know they're still there): user.workflow.00B9EEC5-45F6-4369-B18C-43F6E9B245E3 user.workflow.1F2117CF-A1B6-423D-A895-43AC32B08A1A user.workflow.5C3F22F2-838F-44DF-9BA9-CB5F286C59C9 user.workflow.7CCBF355-4F45-4261-ACF9-C20E6DF62579 user.workflow.7F57BD56-5B74-49BC-8408-FB193CCFEF5E user.workflow.43F7CE49-1188-422D-959B-14D07070A466 user.workflow.143A308C-2441-46E9-8051-94E8CBA1E134 user.workflow.164CD852-CBBA-4B29-9FDB-A0569C81AB9A user.workflow.174E64FA-3EDB-4DB8-B86E-DDE1250985C3 user.workflow.06333FF4-F858-4540-8515-BD3BC553665C user.workflow.A4C71743-E94C-4339-844B-1C62E701B531 user.workflow.A7F4D1C2-39A8-420F-9B1D-1C45766F7319 user.workflow.BD3545BB-7105-4CA0-8546-AF36F16CD527 user.workflow.C77076F2-A796-422A-9BEB-1AAE7EF966FD user.workflow.D2F1EF1A-211D-4F43-924E-8460AC67EF1D user.workflow.F7865CD5-1C48-49F7-B364-A9DBE5C5755B ...but they don't appear in Alfred's Workflows UI, even after restarting Alfred. Any help in forcing Alfred to restore these workflows? Thanks! Link to comment

Chris Messina Posted September 3, 2014 Author Share Posted September 3, 2014 Ah, it seems like it just took a long time for Dropbox to finish syncing all 37K+ files...! Looks like once the process completed, the workflows showed up as expected. False alarm! Link to comment

Hey Chris Sounds like you're sorted out now, but as a heads-up: Let Dropbox sync all its files before setting up syncing in Alfred. Otherwise, if Alfred doesn't detect a preferences file, he'll create a new one in the location you selected. This can lead to Dropbox conflict files and lost preferences data, so it's worth giving it a moment to finish syncing first. Link to comment
