Flow Launcher
Posted: Mon Aug 29, 2022 8:12 pm
This is more of a discussion rather than a suggested submission.
I've been using Executor as a program launcher for a while but I'm not completely sold on it... one of the biggest issues is Executor will need to rebuild it's cache or something - not really sure what's going on but when I open it the load on my system will become heavy as Executor rebuilds a cache (or my list of apps???) causing the program to become slow and unresponsive for a moment... regardless, newer versions of the program seem to do this more whereas an older version (I used, 0.99b for ages it seemed) prior to v1.0 never had issues. I still like the program. I also wish I could have more control over the size of the search window as well, maybe bigger and wider, it appears there is a max size. I'll admit it may be at my end and my ignorance of how to properly tweak the settings but I've (checked/unchecked, lowered/raised, etc) settings many many times without success.
All of this which brings me to my curiosity of Flow Launcher, wonderin' if anyone has seen it or used it, if so what do you think about it.
Flow Launcher:
-> Github : https://github.com/Flow-Launcher/Flow.Launcher
-> Brief Introduction : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dikvhykTNg
There is a portable version, not sure if it's stealth.
The video is a short introduction by a Youtuber (not the dev).
Again, not a submission, just looking for feedback if you've tried it.
