What is new in DigUp 0.6.2

Fixes for the ten days since 0.6.1, with a lot of them from people who sent pull requests, and spreadsheets and presentations as a new kind of file.

Fixed:

- Battery drain after the first pass. Two causes: a folder where something rewrites files all the time (a database, logs, a build) made DigUp re-scan every folder every few seconds, and iCloud Drive or Google Drive folders made every scan take minutes. Changes that couldn't matter are ignored now, and the crawl no longer asks the cloud about each file. (#68, #101 by @astelmach20; #106, #107 by @afalk42)
- A folder you chose is read whole, whatever it holds. A home folder with its dotfiles in git, or a repo of notes and pictures, used to count as a code project and keep only its screenshots. (#105)
- Settings → Folders says why files aren't searchable: "N not read" next to each folder opens the reasons (inside code projects, only in the cloud, types DigUp doesn't read, a Photos library). (#105, #43)
- The progress bar no longer starts over when new files arrive mid-pass. (#52, from #53 by @dr0pd34d)
- Resume right after Pause starts indexing again; it used to stay stopped until the next change. (#50, from #51 by @dr0pd34d)
- The search panel opens over a fullscreen app while a DigUp window is open or minimized, instead of switching Spaces. (#73, #131 by @TLXyloph)
