There's a workaround to let Windows Search see executables (.exe .vbs) again. It broke after a system update last week.

Turn off "web results" with the following registry tweak and reboot (or just restart Explorer if you know how). It makes local search much faster, too.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer]
"DisableSearchBoxSuggestions"=dword:00000001

kf-2.15.2 released with #OpenGL #GLSL colouring support (design your own colouring algorithms to post-process the calculated raw fractal iteration data)

Get it from https://mathr.co.uk/kf/kf.html#kf-2.15.2

#KF #KallesFraktaler #KallesFraktaler2 is #Fast #DeepZoom #FreeSoftware (#AGPL) for #EscapeTime #Fractal #Graphics (and #Video via additional programs like #zoomasm and others)

#x86_64 and #i686 builds are provided, it is technically possible to compile for #aarch64 but I couldn't get the resulting binary to work on my device. It's a #Windows #EXE that runs fine in #Wine on #Linux (where I do my coding). #armv7 builds seem to be blocked on what might be a bug in a third party library.

Looks like #profiling #Windows #EXE in #Wine with #perf will be much #improved in #Linux 5.9 (hopefully).

Trying it today on Linux 5.6, despite 20G of `perf.data` I get a mass of hex symbols all labelled "[JIT] tid 284196". Useless.
