NOTES:
• You can use this app for LittleBigPlanet 1, 2 and 3.
• The first search will take longer time
This app was originally a command line tool created to find my own LittleBigPlanet 2 levels in LittleBigArchive, as searching through 7000 folders just to locate one level was near impossible. I then decided to develop a graphical user interface to make it more user-friendly and share it with the LBP community.
But windows defender is telling me this app is dangerous
The app used to bind the enter key with the search button for added convenience, but Windows Defender mistakenly identified it as a keylogger, which prompted me to remove the binding functionality. This issue should no longer occur, but I am currently struggling to understand Windows Defender/Anti virus alerts. If you encounter a notification saying the app has a virus please post about it in the issues tap and please mention the anti virus you're using.
Windows will tell you that the app is from an unknown publisher, you can click on "Show more details" and then proceed to "Run anyway" to use the app.
