@mikedvzo @zerowidth could you please update to the 4.0.2 pre-release and let me know if macOS now requests the relevant Reminders / Calendar access for Alfred when required?

4.0.2 is now in pre-release, so you should be able to reliably use {var:tag} directly in Alfred's Fields prefs instead of needing to configure it in JSON.

In the 4.0.2 pre-release, Alfred should now mark almost black and almost white as macOS control text colour instead, which means it should match the paste behaviour

@grahamdb could you update to the 4.0.2 pre-release and let me know how you get on

Fixed in the 4.0.2 pre-release

This should now be much improved in the 4.0.2 pre-release

I've fixed this in the 4.0.2 pre-release

This is now fixed in the 4.0.2 pre-release

This should now be significantly improved in the Alfred 4.0.2 pre-release

@nikivi could you please update to the 4.0.2 pre-release and let me know if things are back to how they were in v3?

@Jasondm007 I've taken a quick look at this - you're missing the query field in your fields, so Alfred doesn't know you want to narrow things down. In both Alfred 3 and Alfred 4, your JSON would need to look a bit more like this (note there are normal brackets around the query value to tell Alfred to use the typed {query} instead of the fixed {query} passed into the JSON config😞 { "alfredworkflow" : { "arg" : "*", "config" : { "fields" : [ { "not" : false, "split" : true, "field" : "kMDItemDisplayName", "value" : "(query)", "words" : true }, { "field" : "kMDItemUserTags", "split" : false, "not" : false, "value" : "{var:tag}", "words" : true, }, ] } } } It's also worth noting that I'm making a couple of tweaks in Alfred 4.0.2 which will make using {var:} much more robust within the "Fields" prefs directly (this was added as a v4 feature), so you won't need to use the JSON config at all. I'll be getting 4.0.2 in pre-release today. Cheers, Andrew

@Carbon Is Spotlight finding files and apps? What have you tried on this page: https://www.alfredapp.com/help/troubleshooting/indexing/ Cheers, Andrew

@Jasondm007 I'm going to move this into the bugs forum to remind me to look at this in the morning. Quite a bit changed with regards to the file filter object, and I want to make sure I haven't introduced a regression. Cheers, Andrew

Both Alfred 3 and Alfred 4 don't include the info.plist entries NSRemindersUsageDescription and NSCalendarsUsageDescription which are a prerequisite for macOS to be able to show the request dialog. This could be why you aren't seeing the reminders dialog when you see the log message: default 12:09:16.911791 -0400 tccd Prompting for access to kTCCServiceReminders from /Applications/Alfred 4.app/Contents/MacOS/Alfred on behalf of /usr/local/Cellar/ical-buddy/1.8.10/bin/icalBuddy I'm going to add these in to 4.0.2 to see if that fixes the issue for you in the short term, and I've added a ticket to add buttons to Alfred's Permissions sheet to officially request access to these using EventKit. Cheers, Andrew

@dfay try unticking Features > Contacts > Advanced > Use Spotlight metadata for searching contacts. When using cmd+o on spotlight metadata results, it asks macOS to open that file.

@grahamdb I'll have this fixed in the next Alfred build. Alfred was incorrectly only recognising alphanumerics instead of all valid chars from the RFC2396: scheme = alpha *( alpha | digit | "+" | "-" | "." ) Cheers, Andrew

[being helped by email]

@naven87 Thanks for pointing these out, I'll get both sorted in the next build Cheers, Andrew

@wangyijie Try copying a couple of those files to the desktop, waiting a few moments, and seeing if they are found.

@wangyijie The files should be found. To make sure, I created a folder on my desktop, created some files with those names, and Alfred finds them fine typing 'ii- The first thing to try is a full reindex, take a look at step 4 of the troubleshooting guide: https://www.alfredapp.com/help/troubleshooting/indexing/ I'm moving this thread to Discussion and help. @ me in your reply Cheers, Andrew

@Stooovie try Apple's own method for reindexing: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT201716 [moving to discussion and help]

@ScoticusMaximus Alfred is a background app so won't have a dock item. If you can't quit Alfred from the hat in the top menu bar, open Activity Monitor and you should be able to quit him from there. Cheers, Andrew

@Stooovie could you please check that /Applications/ is in Alfred's Features > Default Results > Search Scope? It should be by default.

@AdrianDuan cmd+option+c is Alfred's clipboard viewer, have you change the hotkey in Alfred's Features > Clipboard preferences?

@Stag prefixing a search with the spacebar is Alfred's file search mode. You can configure Alfred to show any file types in the default results in Alfred's Features > Default Results > Advanced, however, I always recommend keeping Alfred's default results as clean as possible for all the other features, then use the file search keywords ([spacebar] / open / find / in / tags) when you want to do a file search. For more specific file filtering requirements, take a look at the File Filter workflow object which can be configured however you like it https://www.alfredapp.com/help/workflows/inputs/file-filter/ Cheers, Andrew
