New desktop entires wont show up on results

[iUnstable0]

Hi

This is my anyrun config file

Config(
  x: Fraction(0.500000),
  y: Absolute(15),
  width: Fraction(0.300000),
  height: Absolute(0),
  hide_icons: false,
  ignore_exclusive_zones: false,
  layer: Overlay,
  hide_plugin_info: true,
  close_on_click: true,
  show_results_immediately: false,
  max_entries: None,
)

Im on Arch and i installed anyrun from the AUR whenever i install a new app, it wont show up on anyrun results unless i restart anyrun process. like its not reloading everytime a new desktop entry is created in /usr/share/applications?

Anyrun only scrubs for desktop files on launch, not continuously. Is there a reason why you would need new desktop entries to show up on an already running instance?

[iUnstable0]

because when new programs are installed while anyrun is running it wont show up on the results

Anyrun is not designed to be a long-running process, so your use-case here doesn't really make sense. How do you even keep the instance running? Anyrun is not designed for that.

Ohhhh i see now, sorry Im using this https://github.com/end-4/dots-hyprland dotfiles and its using anyrun for app launching, idk how they do it too.

What are you trying to do? Running Anyrun in advance to run an application that is still installing seems counterproductive.
