I really like Alfred, it's a worthy descendant of QS for sure. To be fair, it is possible to use Spotlight for the same kind of "invoke, start typing, hit return to launch" workflow (it's just uglier, and not extensible). Lots of Linux DEs have similar searchable launchers, and if you squint, Windows does too (but packed with extra crud - I think maybe PowerToys has something more QS-like?)


Re: spotlight. I'd like to know the logic that went into decision to stop showing location of app in spotlight results. If you have multiple copies, you now get multiple identical looking results, and must pick a door that has no goat.


Hold down the Command key when you have something selected in Spotlight, it will reveal the path.


Thanks, it does. For single item. This honestly makes it worse, because it clearly signals intent behind the change. Apple software continues to be like that one friend who insists on keeping his apartment orderly and minimalist and achieves it by stuffing all mess under bed and in cupboards. Cannot find or use anything, but looks good on instagram.
