sebapage Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 Hello. Since updating to Alfred 2.7.2 yesterday, Alfred behaves funny. 1. It doesn't automatically launches at login, although everything is set up so it does. I checked and made sure Alfred was allowed to launch at login in Apple > System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login items, and it is correctly set. 2. After manually launching Alfred, it won't remember the placement of the search bar. No matter what I do, it always goes back towards the top of the screen rather than the middle, where I prefer it to be. Machine: MacBook Air with Yosemite 10.10.5 Alfred version: latest Problem first appeared after latest update Is that a know issue? If not, is there any workaround? Thank you
Andrew Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 Hello. Is that a know issue? If not, is there any workaround? Thank you As for Alfred not launching (or not displaying on initial launch), there have been murmurs of this and I'm currently looking into a solution. As for the window position not saving, could you make sure you have "Save window position" ticked in Alfred's Appearance > Options. Let me know how you get on Cheers, Andrew
sebapage Posted September 3, 2015 Author Posted September 3, 2015 Ok so I feel stupid not checking the "save window position" option, because it was off. I guess I didn't think about it as I probably assumed in the back of my head this wasn't the problem since it always worked fine. Anyways, I'll stop making excuses for myself If you need anything from me to try to replicate this launch issue, please let me know. Thanks
Andrew Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 If you need anything from me to try to replicate this launch issue, please let me know. Could you grab this build and give it a try for starting at launch... [edit] - link removed, update to latest pre-release! Cheers, Andrew
sebapage Posted September 3, 2015 Author Posted September 3, 2015 Do I just download and install as a new app? Will it overwrite my current version and remember all my settings?
Andrew Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 Do I just download and install as a new app? Will it overwrite my current version and remember all my settings? If you just overwrite /Applications/Alfred 2.app, this is the same as updating the app... your settings are stored separately to this
sebapage Posted September 3, 2015 Author Posted September 3, 2015 I'll take the risk to sound ignorant here... So what you're telling me is drag/drop alfred 2.app into Applications folder, which will overwrite my current version, right?

So what you're telling me is drag/drop alfred 2.app into Applications folder, which will overwrite my current version, right? Yep, exactly that! Just quit Alfred 2 first else OS X will tell you that you can't overwrite the app as it's running
sebapage Posted September 3, 2015 Author Posted September 3, 2015 Problem solved Alfred is now available at launch. Thank you. Now with the build you sent me, will I still be able to update to future versions? Thanks again for your very quick help.
Andrew Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 Problem solved Now with the build you sent me, will I still be able to update to future versions? Excellent! And yes indeed, this version will update automatically in the future as if it were a normal release Cheers, Andrew
Andrew Posted September 7, 2015 Posted September 7, 2015 I've now put out 2.7.3 pre-release which includes this fix!
