Install checklist
- Download
DigUp_0.7.0-beta.1_x64-setup.exe. - Run the installer. If Windows SmartScreen appears: More info → Run anyway.
- Launch DigUp. Let the model download while you pick folders to search.
- Note the first-pass time estimate for your machine.
- Open search from any app with Ctrl+Shift+Space.
GPU vs CPU
DigUp runs a quick check and uses the GPU when it is faster and gives the same results; otherwise it uses the CPU. On CPU alone, pictures take a few seconds each — large photo libraries take longer the first time. After that, only new files are read.
To confirm which device was chosen, open the last line of speed.log:
%LOCALAPPDATA%\com.arahim3.digup\logs\speed.logLook for "device": "gpu" or "device": "cpu". Path may vary by build — check DigUp Settings / docs if missing.
Beta limits (0.7.0-beta.1)
- No screenshot OCR text yet — screenshots are found by what they show, not by typing the on-screen code into search.
- Skipped on this beta: old Word
.doc, RAW photos, SVG. - Self-updating installer / AppImage path exists going forward; always confirm behavior in current release notes.
