I thought this was intriguing, so I installed it.
Doesn't work at all for me. Running finda shows the instruction screen. Try to use it by typing, and the window goes completely white.
I can use ctrl-\ to bring the white window up and down, but nothing else works.
I had to find the launchd process in Activity Monitor to kill it so I could uninstall.
- omnimus 9y agoExactly same experience. Probably because author (he even mentions it in the post) has outdated OSX and there is probably some difference between versions there.
- superasn 9y agoI though the whole reason people created Electron apps is because they can run on any platform. This one just runs on MacOS only so I can't even download it :/
- lynaghk 9y agoAuthor here. Sorry that it's giving you a hard time. Can you say what OS X version you're running or provide any other details so I can try and reproduce/fix? (You can email me privately at finda@keminglabs.com) I tested with a dozen folks before releasing and this issue never came up.
- lynaghk 9y agoHaven't heard from OP, but another person emailed me and the issue is likely because Finda relies on AVX2 CPU instructions for fast search. These instructions were introduced in 2012, so it's likely the OP was running on older hardware. I'll add CPU detection to a future version of Finda so that it can fallback to slower, non-vectorized instructions.
