- Implement EverythingSdk3Service for Everything 1.5 integration - Add direct folder size query using Everything3_GetFolderSizeFromFilenameW() - Automatic detection and fallback: SDK3 -> SDK2 -> Windows Search - Update EverythingSearchService to try SDK3 first - Update EverythingSizeProvider to use SDK3 when available - Add proper error handling for missing SDK3 DLLs - Add documentation about SDK3 requirements - SDK3 provides significant performance improvements for folder size calculations Note: SDK3 DLLs must be obtained separately from https://github.com/voidtools/everything_sdk3 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Fixes CS0117 compilation error - Toast notification method was not implemented in AppToastNotificationHelper 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Run all folder size calculations on background threads - Add semaphore to limit concurrent calculations to 3 - Add timeout (2s) for SDK3 folder size queries - Fire and forget size calculations during enumeration - Return cached sizes immediately without blocking - Properly dispose resources (semaphore and SDK3 service) This prevents the UI from freezing when navigating folders with Everything folder size calculation enabled. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

As far as I understand, Alpha still does not support ARM64. But in theory, you can do 1.4.1 versions until 1.5A is available in ARM form. |

Please get this done it would be so awesome to be able to see folder sizes and actually search with a good UI. |
