So I don't even need a second Mac to kill my settings with sync: as soon as I have syncing enabled, I'm unable to change any settings which should normally be synced - immediately quitting Alfred after changing something doesn't work either: sync on -> settings lost.įor the records: strange symlink-pseudo-syncing was never used, Disk utility fixed all permission problems before trying this. opened Alfred Preferences: settings reset to default! changed above mentioned settings again, closed Alfred Preferences window "Where are you"-setting back to "International", Default Results: Bookmarks: unchecked Alfred restarts and comes up on Advanced Preference Pane Alfred.alfredpreferences was created in designated Dropbox-folder > ~/Dropbox/Apps/Alfred 2 -> Set folder and restart Alfred enabled sync: Advanced -> Set preferences folder. only changed General -> "Where are you" from "International" to "Germany" and checked Features -> Default Results -> Essentials -> Bookmarks. recreated the folder ~/Dropbox/Apps/Alfred 2 deleted ~/Library/Preferences/com.runningwithcrayons.* deleted ~/Library/Application Support/Alfred 2 deleted ~/Dropbox/Apps/Alfred 2 (this was my preferred preferences location) Unfortunately syncing seems to be buggy with my setup:Īlfred v1.3.2 build 265 still installed, but stoppedĪfter losing my preferences when enabling sync on the new beta I started from scratch: You could also try setting up a completely fresh sync folder such as ~/Dropbox/Alfred/ in case the ~/Dropbox/Apps/. Could you open OS X's Disk Utility.app, select your drive and then click repair permissions. When setting the sync folder, Alfred simply sets the path for looking for settings and nothing else, it really is very simple internally.Īll I can think is there is a permissions problem on your Mac preventing Alfred from actually persisting his data files. It's the only problem I've ever had with Alfred, and I'm done fighting with him today. Please let me know when a build of Alfred makes this run better. Set Alfred to sync to ~/Dropbox/Apps/Alfred 2, then began setting preferences. Once I had it the way I wanted, I quit Alfred and started it again.
#Mac is not syncing fast for dropbox download
Installed a new download from the /v2beta/ website. Deleted the Alfred 2 app, and the data in ~/Library/Application Support.
All while Dropbox is paused, so I know it's not creating any problem. I close the prefs window, call up Alfred, and my preferences have reverted again, and my theme is gone again. So again, I go through and set them back up again. I shut down Alfred and replaced the preferences file in Dropbox with the original from ~/Library/Application Support/Alfred 2/ so my preferences would be the same, but they weren't. I paused sync on Dropbox on my MacBook and turned the sync back on. Don't even know what that means, I've just been manually changing the settings on each machine to match as the updates come.
This should have you up and running with no problems On your second Mac, go to "Set preferences folder." and go to the same Dropbox folder so that the top of that window says "Use the preference file already in this folder".Ensure that Dropbox has time to sync to your second Mac.On your first Mac, go to Advanced and click "Set preferences folder." and choose your Dropbox location so that the top of the window says "Copy your preferences into this folder".Reset all preferences so that they are found in ~/Library/Application Support/Alfred 2/ and remove any previously used sym-linking.I've been using syncing for testing purposes for about a week, using Dropbox, and everything's been going very smoothly, so ensure that you: As stated in the announcement for this latest beta, if you've been using a cobbled-together hacked syncing method so far (there IS a reason we recommended against it ), you'll need to first reset everything back to normal, remove any symlinking you had in place first.
