Not saving workflows

[timgummer]

Workflows (and probably anything else for that matter) are not getting saved since I migrated to a new puter. I believe it's some kind of permissions error

 

Here's what console is catching when I try to save a workflow

Workflows (and probably anything else for that matter) are not getting saved since I migrated to a new puter. I believe it's some kind of permissions error

 

Here's what console is catching when I try to save a workflow

 

 

These aren't related to saving a workflow, but there is definitely some corruption happening. First up, I'd repair permissions on your Mac in OS X's Disk Utilities, then restart Alfred.

 

If this hasn't solved the issue, try resetting the permissions specifically on Alfred's settings by pasting the following into Terminal.

 

xattr -rc ~/Library/Application\ Support/Alfred\ 2/

chmod -R u+rwX,go+rX ~/Library/Application\ Support/Alfred\ 2/

 

(this assumes that you don't have syncing setup. If you do, you'll need to run those commands for the Alfred.alfredpreferences package too)

 

After this, restart Alfred.

 

Let me know how you get on

 

Cheers,

Andrew
