Cause → check → fix
| Cause | How to check | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Cloud placeholders (iCloud Optimize Mac Storage, OneDrive / Synology Files on-demand) | Finder shows cloud icon; file opens only after download. Issue #61. | Right-click → Download Now (or equivalent). DigUp never downloads cloud-only files for you. |
| Full Disk Access (FDA) incomplete | System Settings → Privacy & Security → Full Disk Access — DigUp listed but still empty. | Toggle FDA off/on; fully quit DigUp (menu bar) and leftover helpers in Activity Monitor; reopen. |
| Code folders not opted in | Repos are src/, node_modules trees, etc. Issue #21. | Enable code search / select code folders; query with code: prefix. |
| Skipped types | Only Office / encrypted / unsupported formats in that folder. | See limitations in closed issue #4; try a folder of local photos/PDFs first. |
| Index still starting | First pass estimate still running; model just finished downloading. | Wait for the first-pass estimate; check menu-bar progress. |
Numbered checklist
- Confirm DigUp version is 0.6.1+ (Mac). Update via Homebrew or DMG.
- In DigUp Settings → Folders, note exactly which paths you added.
- In Finder, open those folders: if files show cloud icons, download them locally first.
- Grant / re-grant Full Disk Access; quit DigUp completely; relaunch.
- If the folder is source code, enable code indexing and try a
code:query. - Inspect logs (redact personal paths before sharing upstream):
~/Library/Application Support/DigUp/index.noindex/ # Look at app.log and indexer.log - Still stuck? File or comment on #67 with OS, chip, DigUp version, and whether folders are cloud-synced.
