ccg Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 (edited) The Alfred 2 Clipboard Manager stopped working for me last weekend. I keep copied textual content, but it won't appear in the manager's history. I have also removed the file ~/Library/Application Support/Alfred 2/Databases/clipboard.alfdb, restarted Alfred2, reinstalled Alfred2, but nothing seemed to work. What did I miss? EDIT: My Alfred2 build: v2.6 (374) Mac OS X build: 10.10.2 Edited March 4, 2015 by ccg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccg Posted March 4, 2015 Author Share Posted March 4, 2015 Hi Andrew, yes, Alfred was quit. I deleted the clipboard.alfdb file, restarted Alfred (the file was recreated with a size of 20480 bytes) but still no luck Best, Constantin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, could you double check that the time is correctly set on your Mac... If it's wrong, clipboard entries could be being purged from the db before you are seeing them.

ccg Posted March 4, 2015 Author Share Posted March 4, 2015 That was the culprit. There was no check mark next to "Clipboard History", so I though it'll persist with no time restriction when I checked the prefs the last time. Weird though why the setting disappeared in the first place. Anyways, thanks so much for helping out and kudos to this awesome tool!
