WindFind 1.1.0

Any user, any file system

WindFind supports any user indexing any file system, as long as the operating system can read it, everything can be indexed quickly.

Super-fast speed, ultra-small index

WindFind's folder traversal speed is unmatched. Once it detects administrator privileges, it directly indexes the MFT, delivering incredibly fast performance. The thoughtfully designed index data structure allows each file to be represented with just 4 bytes, capturing its path, file size, and modification time, resulting in an index file that is smaller than ever before.

Rich features that meet your every need.

More than just indexing and searching—it's a master at displaying file lists and calculating sizes! Enjoy vibrant colors, striking icons, and lightning-fast printing speeds, all designed to elevate your file browsing experience to new heights!

Yes, having images would make it more intuitive. When I was writing the README.md, the development hadn't been completed yet, so there were no images included. Recently, I've been busy developing the WindFind GUI version and reviewing the WindTerm source code to continue working on the remaining tasks for the 2.7.0 version. I will add screenshots as soon as possible. Thank you very much for your suggestion.

Will the WindTerm 2.7.0 version be released in the next few months?

@Nyar233
Yes, this month!

I expect to release version WindTerm 2.7.0 Prerelease 2 this week as a first step. In addition, version WindTerm 2.8.0 is also nearly complete, so it should follow shortly after the release of version WindTerm 2.7.0. The majority of the development work was actually completed back in July. It's just that the temporary development of WindFind and frequent travel have caused the delay until now.

Thank you for your patience.
