martinelizardo Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Hi, I'm having trouble using the alfred:ignore feature for some reason. I added it to some files and it worked, but it is not working for some other files and I can't figure out why. Any ideas? I've tried reloading the application cache and even rebuilding the file index. Thanks! Link to comment
Andrew Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Any particular files it's not working on? Cheers, Andrew Link to comment
martinelizardo Posted December 16, 2014 Author Share Posted December 16, 2014 Any particular files it's not working on? Cheers, Andrew Sure. It's not working on "yoinkLoginStarterHelper" or "Coffee, black! Helper" even though I have excluded other startup helpers. It's also not working on any of the files in the path "Macintosh HD/System/Library/CoreServices/Applications" Thanks! Harley Link to comment

If you search for alfred:ignore in Spotlight, you'll see the items which have had that comment successfully committed. Link to comment

Thankfully I was able to hide them using the Spotlight privacy tab. Thanks. Link to comment
