When I try to run it I just get this crash

thread 'main' panicked at 'called `Option::unwrap()` on a `None` value', src/query.rs:148:41
stack backtrace:
note: Some details are omitted, run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=full` for a verbose backtrace.

And if this is of any help with RUST_BACKTRACE=full

Hi all i'm have always compiled findex successfully but now i see this error with the latest code downloaded from github:

How can i solve? Thanks best regards

Hey,

I've tried to play a bit with Findex on NixOS (a non-FHS linux distribution), and hit two bugs:

• query.rs:13 hardcodes /usr/share/applications/, which doesn't exist on Nix/Guix. I'm not sure what's the portable way to find this path, I suspect it's something like enumerating $XDG_DATA_DIRS.
• The program crashes when an icon is missing in the current theme. This is probably an issue with my config, but crashing seems a bit of an extreme reaction :) (and such finders often are used in minimal setups, so missing icons will happen.

Regards,

Hi, The current version installed using aur fails to boot under systemd:

systemd[1187]: Started Findex.
findex[14968]: [ERROR] Only X11 is supported
systemd[1187]: findex.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE
systemd[1187]: findex.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
systemd[1187]: Stopped Findex.

The program works fine when ran manually or added to session startup.

As per title. Please let me know if any changes should be done.

PS: Decided on a different implementation for removing after looking at the code. There is no helpscreen (look at branch name)

Findex will be rewritten to support stuff like background process keeping information about .desktop files, custom search backends.

Here's a list of what will be done:

• [x] Make GUI . It'll use Keybinder to bind keys
• [x] Find and fix performance issues

~All of the development will be done in rewrite branch.~ Merged rewrite with development.

I'll update the issue to notify about the rewrite progress.

.config/findex/settings.toml isn't auto generated and has no effect when manually created. only style.css is generated when launching findex.

• Distro: Arch
• Version: 0.4.0.-1

Trying to add fuzzy search into this application. Currently I am trying to use fuse-rust.

Trying with default values. Any suggestions for getting better results?

When the number of options is smaller than min_score, the window should be resized to accomodate only the number of options.

Example:

Say your min_score is set to 5. If you search for "firefox" and it only shows 1 entry, then the window size should be such that only that entry fits. As it is, the window retains the size for the 5 entries.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I don't know if what I'm experiencing is a bug, but the findex with the default style.css doesn't look anything like the one in the README.

Describe the solution you'd like Add more themes to style Findex

Reason is here:

https://github.com/mdgaziur/findex/blob/e19403b3d31a75d7580c1f953dd8e6cb1225c2e9/src/query.rs#L132-L134

(unwrapping empty extension)

I'd suggest using something like walkdir or jwalk for easy iteration over looked for .desktop entries.

Quick fix can be (checked with Rust 1.56):

        if app_path.extension().unwrap_or_default() != "desktop" {
            continue;
        }

(sorry, too late right now to make a PR)
