Alfred:ignore not working properly

[martinelizardo]

Hi, 

 

I'm having trouble using the alfred:ignore feature for some reason. I added it to some files and it worked, but it is not working for some other files and I can't figure out why. Any ideas? I've tried reloading the application cache and even rebuilding the file index. 

 

Thanks!

Any particular files it's not working on?

 

Cheers,

Andrew

Sure. It's not working on "yoinkLoginStarterHelper" or "Coffee, black! Helper" even though I have excluded other startup helpers. It's also not working on any of the files in the path "Macintosh HD/System/Library/CoreServices/Applications" 

 

Thanks!

You may find that these items are protected by OS X so setting a spotlight comment doesn't actually set the comment on the item. If you search for alfred:ignore in Spotlight, you'll see the items which have had that comment successfully committed.

It seems like that's the problem. Thankfully I was able to hide them using the Spotlight privacy tab. Thanks.
