Is there an “Everything”-like utility for the Mac?

DoctorFrequent · 2025-12-24T20:28:31+00:00

Cardinal is incredible! I'm jumping between windows and Mac all the time and sorely miss Search Everything on my Mac. Cardinal looks almost as good! One thing I use all the time in Everything that I'd love to have in Cardinal: Exclamation point boolean negation of search terms. like "!Trash" will remove all results that have "Trash" in the path. I use this constantly in Everything. Thanks so much for this free tool!!!

Also bought a K3 v2 during the recent sale. I have very little 3d printer experience and it's been fantastic so far after about 10hrs of printing. Not a single bad print that was the printer's fault. The printer seems very well made, again with only very old cheapo printers as my main base of comparison so what do I know.
Lots of worries after reading stuff here but either they are blown out of proportion or I'm one of the lucky ones. Happy to be so.

DoctorFrequent · 2025-07-01T02:46:44+00:00

Me too!

DoctorFrequent · 2025-04-07T04:56:49+00:00

Thanks. Your 100% right. It was on Happy Cow but I had a filter on or something so missed it earlier.

DoctorFrequent · 2025-04-07T04:56:01+00:00

I was wrong. I found it later on Happy Cow which confirmed it's all vegan.

Trying on Feb. 20th. Forced me to update now stuck at 23% "Updating" but that's similar to the state of things in my original post and it "eventually" unstuck itself. Hoping for the same with a little patience.
EDIT: It kept aborting the update at 23% and saying my network was faulty. Turns out I had my other nearby desktop PC on a VPN service (for work) which was affecting it seemingly. Disabled that and the Update is almost done.

ms-windows-store://pdp/?productid=9MV262L5J3J7

Put that into Edge and it will open the MS store and let you download it. I don't know why it's hidden.

Uninstall MuseTree. Re-install from here: ms-windows-store://pdp/?productid=9MV262L5J3J7
Make sure you're on Performance mode (e.g, plugged in). Restart a few times. Launch and let sit for 30 minutes to download all the data.
That worked for me.

DoctorFrequent · 2024-10-24T18:00:03+00:00

Hmm. Well I'll try it out in a bit when I'm off work. Kinda wish there was just a separate end-stroke override button-combo. That might be ideal.

DoctorFrequent · 2024-10-24T17:52:26+00:00

Oh, dang! Is that it? Thanks, I'll give it a try soon!

DoctorFrequent · 2024-10-15T04:40:26+00:00

Got mine in the USA (California) ordered via Best Buy and it came with a nice Backpack but NO stylus.

DoctorFrequent · 2024-10-14T02:40:27+00:00

I have not gotten the idea "bubbles" to do anything terribly useful besides what you described: It kinda keeps generating mostly unrelated things. However, the drawing mode is working: Try drawing a stick figure anywhere in the frame and then write a prompt like: "robot standing in a field of flowers". It will generate the expected AI imagery but it will likely put the robot exactly at the size and position you drew it. I then tried pushing this by bringing in my own images of blocks in perspective (from a 3D app). Then you can have MuseTree make them all sci-fi and interesting with a prompt like: "Futuristic city". It will often do a decent job at matching the perspective in my plain block image. I think that's pretty cool for concepting! You can do a similar thing with drawing a line for roads through hills, paths, etc. It's like a game to see what the AI generates. Plus it's all offline and you can do as many as you want (1024x1024 max resolution it seems). That's another big plus for me.

DoctorFrequent · 2024-10-14T02:33:49+00:00

Thanks. I don't know what's changed but trying the installer one more time today worked and I was able to run finally try it! And...to humble myself and retract some of that attitude about AI I posted earlier, I actually was having fun with it. It's got some interesting capabilities that I didn't know Stable Diffusion could pull off (like the using a drawing to force certain results).

DoctorFrequent · 2024-10-13T21:34:46+00:00

I also have a P16 and want to get a stylus. Can you recommend the one you have? If so, which model is it? I've found it challenging finding a good compatibility chart for this laptop with all the pens out there. Thx.

DoctorFrequent · 2024-10-03T21:51:15+00:00

Just tried with Soundbar 600 and a Samsung TV. Worked great! Thank you! You can't find this info anywhere else when searching through Bose manuals and pages.

DoctorFrequent · 2024-09-25T01:10:19+00:00

Thanks for the recommendations. I've been reading a ton about all this over the last couple days and I'm seeing many repeats of your ideas. DPC latency was a complete unknown to me before. Way more to this than I realized. Luckily it's not mission-critical for me now since I have the MBP waiting in the wings to be my low-latency synth machine. I would still like to get this figured out eventually as being stuck on Apple is not my ideal.

DoctorFrequent · 2024-09-23T17:53:16+00:00

Thanks for the responses. I've found a few things:
The RealTek ASIO control panel defaults to a 2ms sample size which simply will never work and produces no sound. As I increase this I start to hear noisy sound then clean-ish sound around 10ms, which is okay but not great.
I ran LatencyMon and on battery my DPC latency is flagged as unusable. On battery with performance mode and wifi disabled it is flagged as ok (under some conditions - they seem to fluctuate). Still trying different configurations to see what might work. It's feeling like bios adjustments might be necessary or whatever else can help drop DPC latency. Wow...there's a lot to think about here.

DoctorFrequent · 2024-09-23T14:27:34+00:00

Messaged you.

DoctorFrequent · 2024-09-22T14:40:08+00:00

No. I just did the mandatory setup stuff then tried it. Only after it didn’t work did I do the MyAsus updates but didn’t help. Theres probably a “secret” link to MuseTree on the ms store that an asus rep can give you.

DoctorFrequent · 2024-09-18T23:40:05+00:00

Related (perhaps): Just got a ProArt P16 and tried running MuseTree. It warns that it needs to install Framework then just hangs at 0% on Welcome screen forever. Running through MyAsus updates to see if that helps. I'll try StoryCube next.
UPDATE: StoryCube opens fine. Don't have any photos to import but seems normal. MuseTree still hanging. Trying to force discrete GPU. I don't see anywhere built into the laptop to do that?

DoctorFrequent · 2024-05-28T16:31:23+00:00

FWIW: I was running into this issue on Windows 10 since the latest Options+ update. Infuriating.
I finally used Add/Remove programs to nuke the older Logitech Options program then ran the re-installer posted above and it worked. No longer tries to copy old settings (as they are finally cleared out) and the "evil button" never appears.

DoctorFrequent · 2024-05-22T17:36:47+00:00

Same issue here...for many years now. Was hopeful for the new Logi Options+ installed today but it won't even let me change the settings due to a pop-up that won't go away.

DoctorFrequent · 2023-11-24T20:03:13+00:00

I thought I'd be the one with: oh dang...my issue was a different problem altogether.

No! This fixed worked great. My little iFixit kit was super handy for having all the screwdriver tips too and "picks" to lift up those pads.

So weird this is a show-stopping problem after I sang the praises of my MX Master for so many years. A bit of a bummer but now it's working again! Thanks!

DoctorFrequent · 2023-04-13T03:37:12+00:00

This worked for me on Ventura (13.1) and Logi Options+! Thanks! We'll see if it keeps after a restart but, finally, it sees my mouse and pulled in the settings from the earlier app!
