Lupa
====


Press Left Amiga + Space, type a few letters, hit Return.

Lupa is a search bar for AmigaOS, inspired by Spotlight on the modern
Mac. It keeps a small index of your drives in the background, so as you
type it shows programs, WHDLoad games, documents, preferences, Shell
commands, drawers and disks (and, with Shapeless, the Mac's applications
and documents). Return opens the selected one; Amiga+Return opens the
drawer it lives in.

It works alongside your game launcher, not instead of it: Lupa reads the
game lists of PocketLauncher, iGame and TinyLauncher so any game is a few
letters away. To browse the whole collection with covers and filters we
recommend PocketLauncher (game/misc/PocketLauncher).

* Runs on a stock 68000 with 2 MB of Fast RAM, Kickstart 2.04 and up.
  OCS, ECS, AGA or a graphics card (truly transparent on RTG).
* Finds every drawer at any depth, with or without an icon.
* Works on OFS, FFS, PFS, SFS, FAT and CD filesystems.
* Leaves floppies, CDs and USB sticks alone unless you ask.
* A power cut never leaves a broken index: the previous one stays good.
* English by default; Spanish through the locale catalog.
* Lupa-Prefs for the hotkey and look; Lupa-Update checks for new
  versions (signed, never runs by itself).
* Drawers open in the Workbench, Scalos, Directory Opus 5 or 4.

Changes in 1.1.7
----------------
* Indexing controls in Preferences: update, progress and safe stopping.
* Per-volume include/exclude policies, including removable media.
* Background checks for moved/deleted files when opening the bar,
  including filesystems without change notifications.
* Safer imported-game indexing, WHDLoad and malformed NewIcons handling.
* Better recovery of the search index and history after interruptions.

Also included from 1.1.6
----------------------
* Faster full indexing, lower loaded program memory and 68000 optimizations.
* Earlier typing feedback, thumbnail reuse and safer icon-worker shutdown.
* Native Scalos 1.2b drawers; a closed Workbench stays closed.

The archive includes Install (Commodore Installer) and Install-Lupa
(also for OS 2.04). A single-file installer is available on the website.

Use Lupa-Prefs for indexing controls and per-volume policies.
Installation, settings and full documentation are in the included README.
