Nothing happening after install #70

Closed chrismatheson closed 3 years ago

chrismatheson commented 4 years ago

I’ve had a quick look through the issues but can’t seem to see anyone with a similar problem.

I downloaded and ran v1.2 and the app itself comes up fine, however none of the triggers do anything in spotlight.

Have I maybe missed an installation step?

Thanks in advance for any help!

I wonder the same! Downloaded and all, but nothing is different in spotlight.

Edit: never mind, it is working now

What version of macOS?

chrismatheson commented 4 years ago

@w0lfschild I read it, but glossed over. I think this might be a result of SIP ? I haven't disabled mine, as much as a REALY want to extend Spotlight, I think disabling SIP globally (instead of for this single application) seems too risky for me.

Edit: sorry I dint answer your question 10.14.6

rikhoffbauer commented 4 years ago

experiencing the same on macOS 10.14.6 with SIP disabled

@w0lfschild any updates on this?

Have you installed MacForge?

rikhoffbauer commented 4 years ago

@w0lfschild yes I have installed the latest version of MacForge

I'm experiencing the same issue. MacForge is installed. Flashlight is installed. I can open and download commands. Opening Spotlight and typing "emoji grin" returns nothing except regular Spotlight results. I've disabled SIP and Library Validation, though, there isn't any information in the readme on whether or not this is required. This is on 10.15.7.

EDIT: Managed to get it working by reinstalling flashlight. Is it possible that Flashlight needs to be installed after disabling Library Validation?

EDIT 2: Spotlight also now shows in the "Mange Plugins" tab in MacForge whereas it didn't earlier, so, I'm assuming the install did happen correctly initially.
