Could you run which -a rg in the terminal and share the output?

The other searches work?

chrisgrieser commented 2 weeks ago

Just in case, I added some logging and a potential fix for an edge case I found, so you might try version 1.0.3 and run the command again:

Hi Chris! Thanks for a quick response. I've updated to 1.0.3, and find I still have the same problem. When I run which -a rg I get:

mark@Marks-Laptop ~ %  which -a rg
/opt/homebrew/bin/rg

I added some logging to 1.0.3, so please run the command again and copy the debugging log again, which should now include some more information

mjknght commented 2 weeks ago

Hi! Afraid the debugger appears to output the same way with 1.0.3 (checked plist to confirm I was on this version):

chrisgrieser commented 2 weeks ago

Do the other searches work?

mjknght commented 2 weeks ago

Front Finder window, download folder and trash work. Recent files and also tag don’t work – but then again, I haven’t set up a tag. Thanks again.

chrisgrieser commented 2 weeks ago

tbh, I do not have any idea why this does not work for you then. Queuing argument '(null)' as output should not be possible, it should either throw an error or a log message.

mjknght commented 2 weeks ago

Hmm, OK, thanks for looking into it! I’m no developer, but will let you know what the issue is if do happen to figure out what’s up on my side…

Hi Chris,

I feel a little silly – I happened to notice that it is working after all; it's just very slow. Perhaps the number of recently modified files?

Aha!

Yes, the number of files could be an issue. You could try to lower the value in the settings, but if you have a large home directory, it might be slow regardless.

How large of a home directory do you have?
