LaunchBar 6.20 (6262)
Improvements
Using the term “Contact List” instead of “Contact Group” on macOS 13 and later for consistency with the wording used in the Contacts app.
Improved Quick Look of plain text items in Clipboard History to use a larger font size.
The activation hotkey now also resets an existing multiple selection.
Improved Contacts indexing using a newer macOS API.
Bug Fixes
When invoking a Service of an app via LaunchBar (e.g. the “Look Up in Dictionary” service of the Dictionary app), the corresponding app sometimes did not come to front.
Indexing of System Settings didn’t include third party setting panes.
The Contacts index wasn’t updated automatically when changes were made in the Contacts app.
Opening a postal address in Maps sometimes caused the web browser to be opened.
The Quick Look preview window sometimes reopened immediately after being closed.
The result list sometimes still appeared partially empty (at least for a very short moment). This issue has now been completely resolved.
Fixed missing localization of file paths shown in the index window.
Fixed a potential crash when indexing shortcuts from Shortcuts app.
Fixed a potential crash when indexing Sharing Services.
[NEW] Indexing of Share Menu Actions can now be turned on/off separately in the Options pane of the Actions indexing rule.

LaunchBar 6.19.1 (6257)
Bug Fix
Sending text to apps via Send-to sometimes still didn’t bring the target app to front on macOS Sonoma (this bug was supposed to be fixed in version 6.19, so this is another attempt to fix it).

LaunchBar 6.19 (6254)
System Settings
Indexing and access to System Settings panes have been completely rewritten. It’s now possible to browse and open all System Settings panes directly from LaunchBar, and they are displayed with their respective icons.
Improvements
Redesigned and modernized lots of icons shown in the result list (contact details, items in the Music Library, and more).
Info browsing of a folder (with Shift-Right) now also shows the number of items contained in that folder.
Improved performance when browsing the result list with the up/down arrow keys.
Bug Fixes
On macOS Sonoma, the result list sometimes appeared partially empty, with the top match item located somewhere near the bottom of the list.
Showing items in Finder via Command-Return sometimes didn’t bring the Finder window to front on macOS Sonoma.
Sending text to apps via Send-to sometimes didn’t bring the target app to front on macOS Sonoma.
In a multiple display setup with an external monitor, LaunchBar sometimes didn’t appear on the preferred screen at app start.
Some icons were drawn with their shadows heading in the wrong direction (upwards instead of downwards).
Info browsing of a folder (with Shift-Right) did not allow to further navigate into the folder’s name to split it into words.
Resizing the LaunchBar window during text input could cause the text to jump slightly vertically to a different location.
Various other minor bug fixes and improvements.
