GNU Emacs cannot be found on Alfread

[racoonlab]

Hi,

 

I downloaded Emacs from http://emacsformacosx.com/and I have my app just there in the dock. However when I search for it in Alfred, it does not appear.

 

I found it weird. Any suggestion?

 

Best,

When you installed emacs, did you install it within /Applications and then make a shortcut in the dock or did you just drag the application directly into the dock? If you dragged directly into the dock, that would probably be the issue. If you installed it in /Applications, then Alfred should find it. Does Spotlight find it? If it is in /Applications and not being found, perhaps you should reindex the drive. You can also check out some of the other troubleshooting options listed here

mmm strange, something odd.

It is a problem with all the app, not only emacs.

Weird as I have Search Scope also for /Application, but I see that also Spotlight is not working, so I will try to reindex first and see.

well ok,

I used to have spotlight disabled and with the latest upgrade things went odd. I therefore re-enabled it and now everything is good.

 

Thanks for the heads-up
