Has anyone recently tried using iCloud to store preferences? I know it was a problem several years ago. I just set that option to use iCloud and it warned me right away to pick DB etc.
Got a tip for us?

I have it set to sync to my iCloud documents folder and it has never broken anything. From the Alfred forums it looks like the concern is more about people turning on Optimize Storage and that can remove the file from local storage and break things. I don't have optimize storage turned on.
I do have optimized turned on so that leaves me more space on my drive. I suppose I could leave as is and manually back that folder up to another folder.
Thanks for checking for me.
I noticed your posts on the Alfred forum and the answer they gave you explains it. Looks like that date is just when the bundle was created.
If I do show contents on my pref file, it does show more recent edits. Makes sense now.
Ha! I was just about to post that reply here. Nice to see we're connecting in all the same places!
For anyone else checking on this, the reply on the Alfred forum was: "Don't pay too much attention to the date. That's only the date for the bundle itself, not its contents."
PS: How do you show those contents?

Ok, I've never given it a proper test drive. This thread convinced me to do so!
