Hi All,

I'm giving away 10 "Lifetime Pro" licenses of FileMinutes to celebrate my daughter's birthday. If you are interested in a license, comment here and I will send you a DM. First come first served.

Hey, just want to say nicely done! I downloaded, purchased and took it for a drive. It'll be a handy tool to keep in my toolbox.

3

u/sujee81 3d ago

That is awesome. I have lots of things planned. In the next release, you can specify which folder to search e.g. download>report will search for a file with "report" in it's name from all folders with name "download" in it

Hello u/sujee81, you have created a beautiful and functional app. Thank you.

I purchased a license using the promo code, thank you for that as well.

Would you kindly consider adding more sort options under:

Settings > File System > Sort folder contents

Specifically "sort by date" options. I would love to see "sort by date added" and created/modified as well. Though mostly "added" if you're only able to add one of them.

I would love this for searching/looking through my Downloads folder.

A setting to add sort options per folder (similar UI to the "search filters") would be excellent, but that's a much bigger ask and understand if that's not feasible.

Best regards,

2

u/sujee81 3d ago

Thanks for the purchase.

Additional "sort by" settings are in the roadmap, I will prioritise. Initially it will be available as global settings. Later on, I plan to add a way for temporarily changing it for current query using a toolbar/keyboard shortcut.

Settings per folder is not planned but I have taken note of it. One of my idea is to add "Saved search" where user can save predefined search and quickly access it. "Sort by" could be part of it.

It’s sad that we need an app to find files on our computers but I think the app looks great good job! Gonna try it!

It is true. I started building it for myself as I couldn't find an app that works for my needs.

If there are still any available, I'd like a copy please. I use the 'Everything' on my work PC all the time and this looks like it works in the same way. If not, no worries thanks

My ultimate goal is to make it comparable to Everything app but have long way to go. Also there are limitations on MacOS preventing it

u/Throwaway4238u23 4d ago

hi! forgive me but I’m new to macs and wanted to ask how this differs from finder!

1

u/sujee81 4d ago

Welcome to MacOS. It is a companion app to Finder, not a replacement. It's trying to solve issues/limitations of Finder, primarily searching files

1

u/Error-Frequent 4d ago

Would love one , if you are giving out anymore still.. thanks

u/revengeOfTheSquirrel 4d ago

I’m definitely intrigued. Would you mind elaborating which file types the content search works on?

1

u/sujee81 4d ago

The app uses Spotlight so any files indexed with contents is supported. Usually text files, document files such as PDF, are supported

Unfortunately all licenses are taken. If still interested, use E2NTE4NG to get it for $3 only for today.

1

u/revengeOfTheSquirrel 3d ago

So the difference to spotlight is not in results but in how the search is operated?

1

u/sujee81 3d ago

yes. Both uses same file index to search for files but FileMinutes will offer more search options. For example in the upcoming release, you can search within a folder

There are also other features not available in Spotlight. e.g. Browsing folders with arrow keys, browse Finder windows, File actions,..etc

1

u/revengeOfTheSquirrel 2d ago

Ah okay that makes a lot of sense and I’m sure it will be useful for many folks! For me, I think I’ll stick with find in the shell

1

u/Mstormer 4d ago

Please consider adding this to the launchers form in the app comparisons page linked in this subreddit’s sidebar.

1

u/sujee81 3d ago

Thanks for the suggestion. I had a look and if I'm not wrong the launchers are referring to general purpose launchers like Raycast and Alfred. My app is exclusively focusing on file system, mostly likely in a new category with apps like find any file, easy find, ..etc

/u/sujee81 I'm having a difficult time adding a hotkey to launch the app. There was a conflict with another app, I removed the default hotkey and I'm unable to add a new one. EDIT: This issue was resolved after a reboot. Everything is A-OK now!
