Gee Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Hello, I am a trouble with a custom workflow with is more like a clipboard thing Among many things I use Alfred to append predefined HTML structures . I made several clipboards using : Workflow > + > Templates > Clipboard > Paste as plain text from hotkey I had to restore my machine with Time Machine. Everything is perfectly working, all my custom web searches are here Yet those aren't working I made sure Alfred has - Full disk access permissions - Files and Folders permissions - Accessibility permisisons I even uninstalled and reinstalled Alfred It found the sync directory and all but still not Clipboard workflow, even when I create new ones, it does not work. If you have an idea of what is wrong... I haven't not trying purging completely Alfred - not sure how (it did automatically identify my sync directory upon reinstall) Thank you very much Link to comment
Gee Posted February 21, 2020 Author Share Posted February 21, 2020 So I cleared the Alfred folder in Library > Application data Reinstalled Alfred, re-entered my licence Checked all permissions current and new Clipboard Worflow still are not working... Link to comment
Vero Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 @Gee Could you please share your workflow, as it's difficult to help based on a screenshot? Also, if you use Alfred's Clipboard History feature (Features > Clipboard), does this work as expected? Cheers, Vero Link to comment
Gee Posted February 21, 2020 Author Share Posted February 21, 2020 OK so after several tests. - Before : triggering the shortcut would automatically paste my html code as plain text - Now : I have to trigger the shortcut AND THEN do a cmd+v to get that HTML pasted Not sure why I have tried all argument options : same result I have put a sample of what I am doing, and what i did before : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1VEAOkpuQ5Y5xfODb9JfGhs9lwxLvLMOv/view?usp=sharing Link to comment
Andrew Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 @Gee Sometimes, there can be permissions issues after restoring from Time Machine. Try quitting Alfred, then removing all the permissions granted in the macOS Security prefs, then adding them back again. Also try repairing the permissions on Alfred's preference files using step 1 in this guide: https://www.alfredapp.com/help/troubleshooting/preferences/ Cheers, Andrew Link to comment
Gee Posted February 24, 2020 Author Share Posted February 24, 2020 (edited) Hello Andrew, I did the commands you specified in the help section. i did not change anything I just do not understand. On my Macbook Pro, the shortcuts simply auto-pastes the html code On my iMac, I now have to add CMD + V Everything's in sync through Dropbox Edited February 24, 2020 by Gee Link to comment
Andrew Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 @Gee Did you remove Alfred from the macOS Accessibility prefs, and re-add back again? Link to comment
Gee Posted March 25, 2020 Author Share Posted March 25, 2020 Hello, Sorry I came back here late but THANK YOU ! I was only focusing on privacy preferences for some reasons A suggestion : maybe there should be a space in Alfred's Preferences to point to all required macOS settings Link to comment
