DigUp 0.7.0-beta.1 for Windows and Linux

on GitHub

DigUp now runs on Windows and Linux. It's the same search as on the Mac: EmbeddingGemma 2 puts your pictures, PDFs, documents, recordings and videos in one space, and you find any of them by describing what you remember. This is a beta. It works, but it has had far less use than the Mac app, so expect some rough edges. (#1)

Download:

• Windows: DigUp_0.7.0-beta.1_x64-setup.exe, for 64-bit Windows 10 or 11. It installs for you only, with no admin rights. The installer isn't signed yet, so Windows may say it doesn't recognize the app: choose More info, then Run anyway.
• Linux: DigUp_0.7.0-beta.1_amd64.deb for Ubuntu 22.04, Debian 12, Mint 21 and newer (sudo apt install ./DigUp_0.7.0-beta.1_amd64.deb; the package is called dig-up), or the AppImage for other distributions. Both are for 64-bit Intel and AMD processors.

The Mac app isn't part of this release; it stays at 0.6.1.

What to expect:

• On first launch DigUp downloads the model (865 MB) while you pick the folders to search, and shows how long the first pass will take on your computer.
• Ctrl+Shift+Space opens the search from any app. On GNOME and KDE under Wayland, DigUp adds it to the desktop's own keyboard shortcuts during setup; on other Wayland desktops, Settings shows the command to bind to a shortcut.
• DigUp runs the model on your graphics card when a quick check finds it faster than the processor and giving the same results, and on the processor otherwise. On a processor alone a picture takes a few seconds, so a large photo library takes a while the first time. After that, only new files are read.
• Not in this version yet: the text inside screenshots isn't read (a screenshot is found by what it shows, not by a code typed into the search), and old Word .doc files, RAW photos and SVG pictures are skipped.
• From here on, the Windows installer and the AppImage update themselves. With the .deb, DigUp tells you when there's a new version.

If you try it, two things help most: an issue for anything that doesn't work, and, if you have a graphics card, whether DigUp used it. The last line of speed.log says "device": "gpu" or "cpu". It's in %LOCALAPPDATA%\com.abdurrahim.DigUp\logs on Windows and in ~/.local/share/com.abdurrahim.DigUp/logs on Linux.
