FuzzyIdeas/Cling v3.2.0

on GitHub

Features

• Live updates on external drives: files added, renamed or deleted on a connected drive show up in search within seconds, instead of at its next reindex. You can see how each drive keeps up, and turn its live updates off, in Settings > Drives & Volumes

• App launcher: the search bar prioritizes apps if the query seems to hint at that

• Folder icons: paths in the search bar show the folder icon, which you can turn off in Settings > Style. You can pick an icon for each drive in Settings > Drives & Volumes

• Option to turn off the Everything index: hides its asterisk and shortcut everywhere, and can delete its saved index to free the space. You can turn it off in Settings > Search

• Index sizes: size on disk for each scope, drive and Everything index

• Status bar editor: pick what the status bar shows in the window and the search bar, in Settings > Style

• Alfred workflow: search Cling from Alfred with cl and reindex with clreindex. You can install it, and the Raycast extension, in Settings > General

Fixes

• Fixed a possible crash when dragging the results table's header past the last column
• Fixed a possible crash when previewing code
• Fixed a possible crash when applying a quick filter while Cling is indexing
• Fixed a possible crash while saving the index of a very large drive
• Fixed a possible freeze at launch when a drive is slow to answer

Improvements

• Searching a drive that was unplugged without ejecting, offers to reindex it, in case its index missed the last changes

• Status bar shows how long the last search took
• More files that change constantly and nobody searches for stay out of the index: database side files, apps' logs, web view data and the system's logs
• Periodic reindexing waits for the drive to settle, so it doesn't slow down I/O workload
• CLI stuff: cling open, cling everything on|off|delete, cling volume follow|unfollow|skip-reindex and cling search --search-bar
