v0.5

This release features multiple fixes and enhancements.

It changes the database to drop an unused content column. Dropping it allows us to change to a contentless sqlite FTS index which frees up space. Upgrading might take a few seconds to a few minutes as looqs will recreate the whole index. How long this will take depends on the size of your database.

The other major highlight is preview support for .odt files (unformatted, like plaintext).

List of changes:

  • General: As Ubuntu 21.10 is EOL, no looqs package will be provided for it any longer
  • General: Update database scheme to drop unused content column and free up space
  • General: Properly escape FTS arguments passed to sqlite to avoid query errors on some terms
  • GUI: Fix double searches and results when explicit content search filters are provided
  • GUI: Previews: Plaintext previews now obey scale selection too
  • GUI: Previews: Begin basic, unformatted previews of .odt files
  • GUI: Previews: Add file path below every preview for convenience (hovering unnecessary now).
  • GUI: Previews: Fix bug causing an empty preview if a plaintext file started with a searched word
  • GUI: Add menu option to open user manual
  • GUI: Show progress dialog during database upgrade
  • General: Correct error count in some conditions for failed paths
  • General: Update user manual
  • Minor improvements
