Lets remove this mechanism https://github.com/Flow-Launcher/Flow.Launcher/blob/25cc50b9ac29f475ba56cb5205d518845b18432d/Plugins/Flow.Launcher.Plugin.Program/Main.cs#L27 now that we are adding the watcher in.

Should we reindex on startup at background?

@taooceros I have been testing this, I can't get Win32 and uwp app change detections to work. Can you check please.

Finally get some workable free time. I will check now.

The firefox bookmark works partially when the bookmark is added to bookmark folder that is not the bookmark tool bar? I don't know how firefox handle that but if the bookmark is added to the toolbar, the sqlite file won't change.

@jjw24 I forget to reset cache when reindex. Now it should work (at least work for uwp).

[taooceros]

@jjw24 what's your uwp version? We are using a relatively new winrt api so probably that won't work in earlier version? (just similar to the windows notification)

I tested with Snip & Sketch via Microsoft's App Store.

Does it work for you? What UWP app did you test?

Sorry I mean the windows version.

I test it with netflix.

[taooceros]

Would you mind take a debug on whether the events are triggered if that doesn't work?

[taooceros]

I wonder probably we can make the reindex faster by deleting the uninstalled entry/adding new entry. But the current way is good enough for now since it is unlikely that it will requires a lot of resources.

With Firefox (v104.0) bookmarks, I have found when a bookmark is added or removed, the surest way that places.sqlite will get updated is when you close all Firefox browser. Occasionally it may update after adding/ removing a bookmark. Chrome and Edge on the other hand their file get updated almost instantly after adding/removing a bookmark. This is fine with Firefox as it is beyond our control when the places.sqlite file get updated.

Tested on Windows [Version 10.0.19044.1949]:

1. Chrome (v104.0.5112.102) bookmarks work
2. Edge (v104.0.1293.70) bookmarks work
3. Firefox (v104.0) bookmarks work
4. Installing & removing UWP apps (Netflix, Snip & Sketch) installed from Microsoft Store work
5. Installing & removing Win32 apps work (Firefox v104.0)
