dannydb Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Since updating to 2.71 (387) on OS X 10.10.3, Alfred is not correctly reading my appearance preferences and is resetting those settings to the defaults each time the app is quit and relaunched: Screenshots: http://dbeli.us/nGPi http://dbeli.us/1dUSq http://dbeli.us/RHAa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Since updating to 2.71 (387) on OS X 10.10.3, Alfred is not correctly reading my appearance preferences and is resetting those settings to the defaults each time the app is quit and relaunched: 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?

dannydb Posted April 17, 2015 Author Share Posted April 17, 2015 Only appears to be a single version running. I tried replacing with a fresh copy from alfredapp.com, but the issue persisted. Repairing disk permissions did not help either. After all these attempts failed, I tried copying the preferences file from my Dropbox/Backups folder to the desktop and switched Alfred's sync preferences to that file. Upon restarting, my appearance settings and custom searches had all returned! Next, I tried copying the preferences file to another location in Dropbox (Dropbox/Alfred). Setting the sync folder to the new location worked as well. Finally, I deleted the original preferences file and replaced it with the copy from Dropbox/Alfred and returned Alfred's sync setting to Dropbox/Backups. Everything is working great again.
