Bookmarks appears twice

[PBear]

Hello,

 

Every bookmark I search for, alfred gives it to me, but always twice.

 

 

 

And the bookmarks appears only one time in my bookmarks list ! 

Proof in my Safari:

 

 

Why and how could I fix it ?

 

Thank you,

If you bring up the actions panel for both and 'reveal in finder', you might find that one copy is in a backup folder. The only ones you need are in ~/Library/Caches/Metadata/Safari/Bookmarks/

Thank you, you was right and I didn't think to check with the action panel..

 

There is a copy here: /Users/myuser/Library/Caches/Metadata/Safari/Bookmarks/

So to solve my problem i deleted it and remove this directory from the "Search Scope" list in the alfred preferences. Is it ok or it could bring some troubles ?

That is the correct location for them, Safari automatically maintains them in that location so you should leave that in the search scope. Where was the other copy?

In /Users/myuser/Safari/Bookmarks/

It should not be there ? I dont know, maybe I put it there myself long time ago.

If you copied them from the other location, then they shouldn't be there as Safari only automatically maintains the bookmarks in the other location - i.e. if you create a bookmark in Safari, the associated metadata will appear in the ~/Library/Caches/Metadata/Safari/Bookmarks/ folder automatically, which is what Alfred (and Safari) use for showing you bookmarks.
