MacAndreas Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Hello, this ist my first article... I searched the forum, but found no similar question... Yesterday, I switched to Yosemite. I Use Alfred 2.5 (299) on an other Mac and sync all my preferences with dropbox. Most things work well, but.. - I select a file a second time to highlight and select the name to change it - I click ALT-CMD-Space to activate the Clipboard History to use a saved phrase - the file get deselected and I can't rename it - in Mavericks, the filename is still selected and I'm able to rename it with a ENTER I hope, you understand what I mean ;-) Is it a bug or is it my fault? Kind regards, Andreas Link to comment

It's OS X behaviour to protect you from editing file names by mistake. Your best bet is to pick the saved phrase from Alfred's Clipboard before selecting the file you want to edit. Link to comment
MacAndreas Posted October 20, 2014 Author Share Posted October 20, 2014 You are right and I'm so sorry! I thought that this was different in Mavericks, but it is the same! Thank you... Best, Andreas Link to comment
ProductionValues Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 I suppose you could also choose 'Show Info' from the menu and shortcut your new name into that text box. That box won't disappear. Not sure how much time you'll save though =P Link to comment
