Alfred / Alfred text services does not appear in Accessibility

[timj]

Installed Alfred 3.0 Build 652 on MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013) running OS X El Capitan version 10.11.3 (15E65)

 

Tried to enable snippets auto completion

 

Welcome to Alfred's text expansion! dialog opened

I clicked "Let's get started!" button

Nothing happened

Opened System Preferences>Security & Privacy>Accessibility, unlocked to make changes, but neither Alfred3 nor Alfred Text Services were listed.

 

uninstalled Alfred 2

rebooted

no change

 

added Alfred3.app to Accessibility

no change

 

rebooted

no change

 

dragged Alfred3 to trash and copied app from zip file to /Applications

no change

 

Could you please let me know what to do to make this work?

 

Thanks

Very odd - If you select Alfred 3 in /Applications, right click and show package contents, then navigate to contents/services you'll find Alfred Text Service. Try adding this manually to OS X's Accessibility prefs.

 

Let me know how you get on!

 

Thanks,

Andrew

Hi

I had the same problem but I found why it doesn't work. I use pathfinder instead of Finder. With pathfinder it doesn't the system preferences but with the finder, no problem.
