switters Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 I need to reinstall El Capitan on my iMac (primary Alfred computer). It is currently syncing Alfred settings to Dropbox, but once I do a fresh install of OS X, the "primary" computer that Alfred was installed on will no longer exist. After I reinstall Alfred on the fresh copy of OS X, how do I import/restore settings/snippets, and how do I assign it as the "primary" install of Alfred? Link to comment
switters Posted August 24, 2016 Author Share Posted August 24, 2016 Anyone? Would appreciate help with this. Thanks! Link to comment
dfay Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 I should know since I did this three times in the past year.... as I recall I just pointed the new installation at the existing sync folder on dropbox (obviously you need to reinstall the dropbox client first and let it finish syncing). I'd make a backup first and just try that. I certainly don't recall any problems or needing to do any additional configuration. switters 1 Link to comment
