What's new in Curiosity for Windows 24.2.46248

Feb 25, 2024
  • What's new:
  • Yahoo! login:
  • We added a connector for Yahoo! email.
  • Some people were having difficulty connecting Yahoo! email accounts using the generic email connector (IMAP). We added a Yahoo! connector so you can now connect those accounts, too!
  • Re-order apps and spaces:
  • You can now drag re-order apps and spaces in the left sidebar by dragging them to the position you want. Sort away!
  • Batch-import for PST files:
  • We added batch-import for PST files. Previously you could only import PST files one at a time. That could be annoying when adding large sets of archives. Now you can add multiple PST files at once - just select all the files in the "Connect Outlook Archive" menu and click "OK".
  • Evernote quick-look previews:
  • We added previews for Evernote notes. Now you can not only fined your notes, but have a quick look without needing to leave the Curiosity app.
  • Custom AI Prompts:
  • We added custom prompts for the AI Assistant.
  • Now you can create your own prompts, e.g. to write LinkedIn posts, get recipe ideas, and more! The key is that you can fine-tune a standard prompt and then use it again and again in different contexts.
  • We've been using this a lot, and we're excited to hear your feedback! Keep an eye out for updates - additional improvements are coming soon!

New in Curiosity for Windows 1.0.30726 (Jun 30, 2022)

  • Schedule indexing:
  • Indexing files for search can get your computer working hard. To make sure that doesn't stop *you* from working hard, we added scheduling for indexing.
  • Now you can tell the app when to do indexing and when to stop.
  • Faster indexing:
  • We've been working on indexing: It's now faster and more stable than before.
  • Show which files are being indexed:
  • When your computer is working hard on indexing, it's nice to know what's going on.
  • We added a popup so you can see which files are being indexed at any time. We also improved the indexing counter (which is surprisingly complicated).
  • Grid view for images:
  • Most images are square-ish. Search results in the Command Bar were previously horizontal rows. Not a great match.
  • Now images show as tiles in the command bar (and full app) so you can see more at a glance.
  • Manually recreate indexes and filters:
  • If you're not seeing an expected search result, recreating the index usually helps. We added options that let you do that on your own.

New in Curiosity for Windows 1.0.30074 (Jun 8, 2022)

  • Previews in Command Bar:
  • Searching is most fun if you can see the results. Even better if you can see them before opening them.
