Flashlight results don't appear in spotlight since update to public beta 10.10.4 #494

Closed nicohein closed 9 years ago

nicohein commented 9 years ago

After I updated Mac OS to the fourth public beta 10.10.4 (14E26a) there aren't any Flashlight results in Spotlight anymore.

FlashlightSIMBLAgent.app is still running.

After disabling and enabling flashlight these messages show up in Console:

Is there somebody else dealing with this issue?

Sajonara commented 9 years ago

It is not only the public beta, but the regular developer build, too. I can confirm this issue.

toph-allen commented 9 years ago

Same here, on both my machines running 10.10.4.

marcocarrara commented 9 years ago

It's the same for me too, I updated my OS to 10.10.4 public beta this morning and Flashlight doesn't work anymore..

shatteringlass commented 9 years ago

Issue is upstream
norio-nomura/EasySIMBL#25

yashendra2797 commented 9 years ago

Same for me!

yzlnew commented 9 years ago

Same issue for me.

tomibennett commented 9 years ago

Not working for me as well.

iamvicliu commented 9 years ago

10.10.4 (14E26a) image

iiiGerardoiii commented 9 years ago

Same problem here, I'm on version 10.10.4 (14E26a)

shatteringlass commented 9 years ago

Please stop reporting the issue, it's obvious we're all going to encounter this problem until there is a fix. @darwin and @norio-nomura are working upstream to get easySIMBL working.

iamvicliu commented 9 years ago

OSX 10.11更新了，spotlight功能增强 = =

dacz commented 9 years ago

Flashlight is not registered as an Spotlight plugin/extension. I do not know if it should be (but is not working on 10.10.4).

FutureProg commented 9 years ago

Upon getting the app it didn't function as intended. Using OSX 10.10.3

matthewdias commented 9 years ago

@norio-nomura has pretty much declared EasySIMBL dead. Apparently the original SIMBL works on 10.10.4. Could we switch to that?

alanma commented 9 years ago

+1

fuzzy76 commented 9 years ago

Not quite. An altered SIMBL installation (moved to a different location owned by root) works. And since SIMBL seems abandoned, I wouldn't count on it getting updated anytime soon. It seems like Apple would like to kill the kind of injection that EasySIMBL and SIMBL relies on. :-/

dacz commented 9 years ago

@fuzzy76 Are any instructions available how to get altered SIMBL installation... to get working flashlight?

stididup commented 9 years ago

@fuzzy76 @dacz I up your comment. Using Flashlight is so good. This issue is boring me. Any solution?

alicoding commented 9 years ago

I shouldn't have update to OS X 10.10.4 now I kinda regret updating that :/

+1 on a fresh install

issue in EasySIMBL How to transition from EasySIMBL to SIMBL by hetima

Ankirama commented 9 years ago

@sofianhw Sorry but I don't understand how to change this. I installed SIMBL but I don't know what I have to move from FlashLight can you help us a little bit? :)

Please stop +1ing this. The developer is aware of the problem.

alicoding commented 9 years ago

Can the dev or collaborator of this repo just lock this issue until further notice? +1 isn't helpful here at all.

owenmead commented 9 years ago

Agreed @alicoding

If you merely want to know when progress has been made, turn on Notifications for this issues (Just to the right of the first top comment)

texastoland commented 9 years ago

Nate hasn't been active since May but I tweeted him in reference to this issue. Everyone just checking in—refer back to @shatteringlass's comments for explanation.

xremix commented 9 years ago

As far as I know Nate has paused the work on the project for an internship this summer. Seems we need to wait a little.

starkshaw commented 9 years ago

Same issue here!

tomarrell commented 9 years ago

Can someone confirm the dev is working on the issue or do we need to come up with a fix ourselves?

mesqueeb commented 9 years ago

I cannot believe how a project like this could be put on hold. It's probably one of the biggest projects with most app users as flashlight probably has received half of the users from the widely used Alfred. The author of this app could become rich as I think me and everyone who uses flashlight would easily pay a buck for this app........

alongat commented 9 years ago

Dude,

  1. Nate don't owe anyone nothing. he can do whatever he likes.
  2. this is open source, you are welcome branch out and fix it

agree with @owenmead and @alicoding , stop spamming this thread, when dev have insights they will share, meanwhile we're spamming each-other mailboxes :)

tomarrell commented 9 years ago

@alongat essentially you are correct. No-one owes the community anything and anyone with the ability can freely make the required fixes.

However, this is a piece of software some people rely on for their everyday workflow. It is by no means a small project and the people with the specific skills to work on it and who have in the past should at least give an indication as to their intents for the project. By no means is anyone forcing anyone to do anything, simply word as to whether something we enjoy using regularly will be making a debut on OSX El Capitan is more than enough.

Heck I know if half the people here were able to contribute the time and skills (myself included) they would, but unfortunately not my area of expertise. Everyone relies on someone else for the maintenance of software in some form or another, no need to bash anyone for it.

alongat commented 9 years ago

@tomarrell :) just didn't like @mesqueeb tone...

I'm sure dev are aware how much this tool means to everyone, specially since this issue breaks it altogether. . I think we spammed enough, lets hope the next post in this thread will be "we found the issue/issue fix/you need to something something as w/a" :)

Hey did anyone tried [this](https://gist.github.com/hetima/51b71091aedf622f61f7) ?

dacz commented 9 years ago

@guest4849384 I have Flashlight installed (but not working) but I have not EasySIMBL. Should I have it?

owenmead commented 9 years ago

Be interesting if it would work. I kind of doubt it as I would suspect the APIs to be different. Worth a try. Anyone on this thread get it working by substituting SIMBL?

eckelt commented 9 years ago

No. Installing SIMBL 0.9.9 didn't fixed Flashlite for me! We have to wait for a fix. ...Or spent some time in fixing it ourself. Happy to hear from anyone to pick up this issue.

gemueselasagne commented 9 years ago

Hey everyone! Nate won't be fixing this as he is working at Apple for the summer. He MIGHT work on flashlight at a later point in time. Read it yourself: https://twitter.com/nateparrott/status/620336639529713664

xremix commented 9 years ago

Isn't that what I just said above? I'm congratulating Nate on his internship and am happy that he stared this project. So far it doesn't make sense to discuss here further more about Nate, but only if some try finding the bug and have new statuses on that. Hopefully somebody has some knowledge on that part of the project, as I don't. But if I would, I'd love to help this project resuming.

gemueselasagne commented 9 years ago

@xremix well kind of. This is the official confirmation of what you assumed. Pretty sure some are happy to read Nates tweet. Don't get the point of your comment to be honest. I'm very thankful for what Nate did with flashlight in the past. Very excited to see if the project comes back to life somewhen.

xremix commented 9 years ago

@gemueselasagne Ok sorry for not being clear enough. The second part of my message was more on that discussion about him going on in this issue, not directly to your post.

joshmanders commented 9 years ago

@nate-parrott Thanks for Flashlight, it was great, I hope while at Apple you incorporate it into OS X. :) Good luck.

auraz commented 9 years ago

No working, but thanks, hope to see it working in the future, go back to Alfred for a while.

xiajinchun commented 9 years ago

Me too on OS X 10.10.4
