    Out of interest, have you tried setting your locale to english to see what happens?
  2. Andrew
    No problems

    This isn't possible but items are ordered chronologically with newest first. If you can remember any text which would have been in the clipping, you could search for that and scroll down and look at the dates to the bottom right of the viewer.

    Have you tried temporarily changing your hotkey to something else, for example alt+space? or even double tap alt?

    Try the URL scheme busycontacts://show/{uid}

    Hi there, You can grab a 2.7.2 beta using here: https://cachefly.alfredapp.com/Alfred_2.7.2_388.zip You can configure the busy contacts URL handler in Alfred's Features > Contacts prefs. For BusyContacts, use the url: busycontacts://show/{uid} NOTE: This feature works best if you don't use the Spotlight metadata to find contacts option. If you have the Spotlight option selected, the contacts are actually files. Using cmd+o on a contact in the default results will force open the contact file with the default file association by design (Contacts.app). If you need to use the Spotlight option, either set Alfred to not open contacts in Alfred's address book viewer, or use cmd+o from inside Alfred's contact viewer to open with the custom URL handler.

    We certainly didn't put it there... maybe you put it there accidentally in the past?

    I very much suspect that being on different routers, the DNS multicast which bonjour uses isn't being forwarded between the different VLANs... this would allow the university to prevent the network from being clogged. There may not be anything you can do about this aside from using bluetooth to connect (which is much slower than WiFi). http://support.alfredapp.com/tutorials:setting-up-remote-bluetooth Cheers, Andrew

    Hi there, Are you running Alfred 2.7.1 as this has a small fix relating to Python workflows? cheers, Andrew

    If the option to persist is ticked in Alfred's Features > Clipboard prefs, then the db may have become corrupt. Quit Alfred and delete the following file from your home folder: ~/Library/Application Support/Alfred 2/Databases/clipboard.alfdb When you restart, things should work fine again Cheers, Andrew

    Contacts App

    Andrew replied to DJW's topic in Discussion & Help

    1. Ah, the Contacts [Advanced] options are for Powerpack users only - sorry about that. 2. Alfred does not have control over the address book handling, he simply requests OS X to open the addressbook:// URL which is handled by the registered App. This is likely why deleting BusyContacts reverts back to Contacts.app There isn't a huge amount I can do to help out here - but I do understand that BusyContacts are reverting the addressbook:// change in a future release so this behaviour will likely go back to normal for you. Cheers, Andrew

    This is what I wanted to [at least] achieve originally when I raised the DTS, but Apple said there was no public API way of detecting that Mission Control was open, which means I couldn't prevent Alfred from showing.
  13. Andrew
    Unfortunately, Alfred doesn't have control over this. I raised an Apple DTS to see if I could work around it, but keyboard focus isn't allowed. I have left an internal ticket open to see what I can do in the future. Cheers, Andrew [moving to investigating]

    Contacts App

    Andrew replied to DJW's topic in Discussion & Help

    Alfred doesn't control this behaviour, but there is a workaround. If you select Alfred to use Spotlight metadata to search Contacts in Alfred's Features > Contacts > Advanced preferences, then this should open in Contacts again as it opens the metadata file which is associated to the OS X contacts app. Cheers, Andrew
  15. Andrew
    Excellent! Not sure what happened there, but glad you were able to sort it out Cheers, Andrew
  16. Andrew
    Remember that you can add titled (with keyword) custom searches in the Search tab. If you don't add a {query} parameter then it's essentially just a bookmark!
  17. Andrew
    Could you first check that you don't have two versions of Alfred running in Activity Monitor? Also, just in case the download was corrupt, could you quit Alfred and then replace it with a freshly downloaded version directly from http://alfredapp.com? Cheers, Andrew
  18. Andrew
    When you reindexed the metadata, did you select to delete the .Spotlight-V100 folder? If not, this may be enough to flush out those issues (I'm surprised a reindex didn't fix these).

    It should be faster than using AppleScript. The consequence of running the Prefs via the AppleScript you provided is actually launching the same "Alfred Preferences.app"... Launching it directly doesn't need to do any AppleScript interpretation first. Any latency you experience will likely be in the hotkey setup, set it to pass through modifiers...
  20. Andrew
    You could in fact just use a "Launch Apps / Files" action instead of applescript and launch Alfred Preferences.app directly. If you right click on Alfred 2.app in Finder and Show Package Contents, Alfred Preferences is in Contents/Preferences
  21. Andrew
    That should be ok, but there are subtle differences in the associations if you look at my screenshot... Could you please drop one of the markdown and one of the md files into this metadata tool and let me know the output? http://cachefly.alfredapp.com/tools/AlfredMetadataTool_v1.1.zip (Also, have you tried dragging both .markdown and .md files in to that list to see if you get two different entries?)
  22. Andrew
    Huge thanks for the discussion on this chaps, I'm sure we will get a good default solution! One thing I may look into is offering a global editable environment for workflows so that users can setup environment variables which are applied when workflow scripts are run. This would also allow for experimenting with options so I can provide a decent set of defaults (even if the defaults are automatically generated for a user). Cheers, Andrew

    I'm sure that I could set the LC_CTYPE to include the locale, but there are a few unanswered questions at the moment... 1. The location should be set to the user's location, will this effect workflows? e.g. Mine would be en_GB.UTF-8 vs en_US.UTF-8. 2. Does a [local].UTF-8 exist for ALL locales, and if it doesn't, would python crash if set for that locale? 3. If it were set to e.g. en_US.UTF-8 for ALL users, would this break non US locales?
  24. Andrew
    Perfect, thanks for the feedback

    If you update to 2.7.1, you will now be able to use cmd+o on a word when using the spell keyword and it will open in Dictionary
