*** Great News! Bopsoft has agreed to extend this deal for another day - Enjoy! ***

We've all done it before - built a folder that's so deeply nested it takes forever to drill down to it. Who knew that you would end up needing to access it so often? Moving the folder is impractical, because so many of your programs depend on that folder location. The best way to instantly improve your productivity, then, is to grab a copy of Listary Pro, available at a discount with today's software promotion!

Listary Pro gives you instant access to folders and files, no matter how deeply nested they are in your hierarchy. With Listary Pro you'll experience instant gains in efficiency and productivity as a single keystroke puts you exactly where you need to be. Not just for favorites, you can also use Listary Pro to quickly access recent folders and files, with instant access to the last opened file. A handy Quick Switch feature lets a file dialog box switch to the folder that you're viewing.

Has a forest of thousands of files, folders, and other entries taken over your hard drive? Thanks to Listary Pro, you'll now be able to find any file or folder, anywhere, as you type. You don't even need to know the complete file name! Just start typing what you can remember, use the space bar for wildcard, and BOOM, Listary Pro gives you exactly what you're searching for.

Bonus features include projects, actions, fuzzy navigation, and so much more!

Arkadiusz Robert I have and strongly reccomend :)

Mar 11 at 1:04am

Michael R. A very! useful tool...

Can I change the font/size in current v4 somehow?
E.g. I would prefer to set the more discret font/size of v3...

Mar 12 at 1:09am

h j Does the BitsduJour offer include Lifetime updates as does the regular Pro offer http://www.listary.com/pro#prettyPhoto ?

Mar 12 at 3:11am

Channing Dai @Michael R

A smaller UI will not be able to display full paths of search results which are necessary for the new features introduced in v4. However, version 4.1 will add theme support, and I may add some font/size settings.

Bopsoft - Mar 12 at 3:32am

Channing Dai @h j

Yes. You can use it on all future versions.

Bopsoft - Mar 12 at 3:33am

Lito I highly recommend this program. I bought it last time it was on sale here, and it's worth every penny. My one minor complaint is that when it brings up a large list in a subdirectory, I can't scroll with my middle mouse wheel, I have to go hover over by the bottom or top of the list to scroll. Other than that, it's one of those great utilities you will take for granted is there as you use it. Then you will find yourself working on some other person's machine and remember how inefficient it is without it.

Pavi Johnson Simply superb! Integrates with nearly all programs, customizable.

It saves massive amount of time and headaches when saving and loading files.

Best, /Pavi

David Hyre HIghly recommended. This was an on-intuition purchase for me, it looked like a small tool that did its job simply and well, and stayed out of the way until used - and it delivers. SUPER-quick navigation, and it also pre-fills the last filename if desired, which often saves me making extra moves. $10 well spent! Kudos to the dev for identifying the specific need and filling it so well. Never crashed, no overhead, nice piece of work.

Mar 13 at 7:12am

Atalay Tan I just can say it is a masterpiece of software with all its features. Highly recommended. I use it with Directory Opus and it is perfect. Even it is not totally integrated, it is still very useful and I know that both developers are working together nowadays to deeply integrate DOpus to Listary. I have already bought Listary Pro by the previous BitsDuJour deal and i recommend it now to everyone who missed the previous deal.

Mar 13 at 10:02am

Craig Haywood This is one of the best investments I ever made. Highly reccomended

Glenn Crouch Strongly recommended product :)

John Van Dijk Too bad you can't pay with iDEAL.

Mar 14 at 2:53am

Zoran Paljevic There's not many things made me nostalgic after I left Mac and went to PC, beside aesthetics.. Now it's even lesser, thanks.

Little font size customization, as mentioned, would be good to see in a future.

Mar 14 at 3:26am

Channing Dai @Zoran Paljevic

I'm currently working on designing a compact UI and I need some help. A smaller UI cannot display as much information as the current version. If any one can provide a mockup, I would be very happy to implement it in the next version.

Bopsoft - Mar 14 at 3:56am

h j Thanks for the info Channing. Also what's the best way to upgrade in order to retain my folder favourites from the previous version? The old version had a Data folder with config.xml but I don' see this in the new one.

Mar 14 at 4:01am

Channing Dai @h j

Listary 4 should import your old settings automatically on the first run. If it's not working, please follow these steps:

1. Exit Listary 4 first.
2. In the same folder as config.xml, you'll find a UserData folder, delete or rename it.
3. Start Listary 4.

Bopsoft - Mar 14 at 4:11am

Mike Murphy How does this integrate with Directory Opus? I am trying the demo and it does not seem to bring up the Listary search box.

Mar 14 at 7:19am

Channing Dai @Mike Murphy

Just press Win + S in Directory Opus.

Bopsoft - Mar 14 at 7:26am

Mike Murphy OK. That works. I have a file named VehicleInspection.pdf in the open folder. I hit the Win + S key and start typing v or V and absolutely noting shows up except to say "No items match your search". Am I missing something here?

Mar 14 at 7:33am

Channing Dai @Mike Murphy

I'm sorry if Listary doesn't work with your Directory Opus. GPSoftware will release a new beta version of Directory Opus tomorrow which adds Listary support, and a new version of Listary with deep Directory Opus integration will be available next week. In the new version you don't need to press Win + S, and everything is as perfect as it's in Windows Explorer. So I suggest you try Listary in Windows Explorer at this moment :)

Bopsoft - Mar 14 at 7:48am

Moomin I just bought it, installed it, started it, searched for sth. and oh! YEAH. Great! I'm impressed at first sight. Now I have to learn the Pro features..

Mar 14 at 7:53am

Channing Dai @Moomin

Be sure to check the four demo videos in the article or on Lstary homepage http://www.listary.com/ :-)

Bopsoft - Mar 14 at 7:56am

Renaud Duval Just Bought the software. I have been using free version for a long time now. But want to support the company as this is really a software that helps you save time and navigate quickly where you want. You must buy it, really. Direct access to latest folders and preferred folders. Change your life.

Mar 14 at 8:08am

Bo Lee The Listary is very good, but why the new version 4 (portable) has the Windows Jump List ?

Mar 14 at 8:12am

Moomin @Channing Dai, thanks, yes I only skimmed over them so far but will watch them more carefully now... .. :)

Mar 14 at 8:13am

Channing Dai @Bo Lee

I'm sorry that I don't quite get what you mean. Could you please send a screenshot to support@listary.com ? Thank you.

Bopsoft - Mar 14 at 8:15am

VLM Fabulous, helpful product, very responsive and helpful developer (Channing). Outstanding changes in version 4 to an already-5-star product!!! At this price and with a lifetime license (if I understand correctly), this one is truly a no-brainer. (Or is that "nobrainer"? The new fuzzy navigation will see you through!!!)

Mar 14 at 8:35am

Bo Lee @Channing Dai
I'm sorry. I mean that when I run the new version Listary , the Windows "User Account Control" warning appear. not Windows Jump List. How can I make the new version Listary skip the UAC.

Mar 14 at 9:09am

Channing Dai @Bo Lee
You can open Listary Options and check "Start Listary when Windows starts". Listary will then start with Windows automatically without UAC prompt.

Bopsoft - Mar 14 at 9:19am

Joe McCormick I purchased Listary Pro v 3 on 12/17/2011 from BitsDuJour.
I don't know if this purchase was for lifetime upgrades? I see now you have a new version 4 on BitsDuJour with lifetime upgrades.

I did download the new version 4 and installed it over the old version 3 and it did take the serial number.

Does that mean that my purchase was for lifetime upgrades back then?

Mar 14 at 10:58am

Cyrus I appreciate the prompt response I received from the Listary Pro support. To me, that is the sign of a good developer.

Mar 14 at 12:18pm

Mike Murphy OK, thanks for the info about Opus Directory. I purchased based on your word and your quick responses to our queries.

Thanks.

Mar 14 at 12:52pm

Channing Dai @Joe McCormick
Yes, you'll get life-time upgrades for free. You can use the license on v4, v5, v6...

Bopsoft - Mar 14 at 5:06pm

Channing Dai @Mike Murphy
Thank you for purchasing Listary Pro! I'm sorry that mapped network drives can't be supported at the moment.

Bopsoft - Mar 14 at 5:09pm

Scott Youngman A perfect experience purchasing via FastSpring -- license information was sent immediately. Thank you.

Mar 14 at 7:14pm

Michael R. On my Win7, x64 system I have the problem (with v4), that the option 'Start Listary when Windows starts' does not stay: Checking it, clicking in the OK-button and choosing Options again displays the options again without this option checked. I tried another option (Fuzzy matching) and this stays as intended after pressing OK.

Unfortunately the option-display is right: Listary does not start with windows on my system. And when calling it, Listary seems to need administrator-rights. I have them, but need to confirm the appearing messagebox, after calling it.

I tried to insert Listary into my 'Startup'-directory - I don't know why it has been rsomewhen automatically renamed by win7: In former days it's name was Autostart - but it is as if it is not there: Listary is not called at startup automatically.

In the last time I had another (similar) experience with another program, when startup-options, which I have to reinstall everytime an option is changed. Unfortunately uninstalling and reinstalling Listary v4 does not help. (With v3 I did not have this problem).

Perhaps my problem is similar to the one of Boo Lee?

@Boo Lee: Is it?

Mar 14 at 9:53pm

Channing Dai @Michael R
I'm sorry for the inconvenience. Please check the following things:
1. You are logged in as administrator instead of a normal user (i.e. you are not using a normal user account you created yourself).
2. Task Scheduler service is not disabled on your system.

Bopsoft - Mar 14 at 10:08pm

Michael R. @Channing Dai
Thanks for your fast answer.

I tchecked/tried out this, but without success:

2. I checked it and the TaskScheduler-service (on german systems: Aufgabenplanung) is running.

1. I created temporarily explicitely an administrator account (net user Administrator /active), called Listary from there, but the result was the same. Cchecking the option 'Start Listary when Windows starts' does not persist: I called the options again and it was again unchecked. Btw. would there be any difference to calling Listary within my user-account with administrator-rights?

Mar 14 at 11:30pm

Channing Dai @Michael R.

Could you please try to logon Windows instead of just run Listary using one of your accounts with administrator rights and then check "Start Listary when Windows starts"?

Bopsoft - Mar 14 at 11:47pm

Michael R. @Channing Dai

I am not sure, what you mean. Probably what I did described under 1. of my last posting. Here a little bit more explained:

Since I am the only person using my computer, when starting win7 I just have one user (me) and gave him admin-rights.

As said before I did the following:
Temporarily I just created an addional user: Admin.
I did this with the command-line command:
c:\windows\system32\net.exe user Administrator /active
So when logging out the current user I have a new 'user';: The Administrator.
From there I called Listary again.
And had the same result: Checking 'Listary when Windows starts' did not persist.

When clicking on this option and OK, what does Listary trying to do and does Listary check, if this is done correctly - this check should fail in my situation - and what does it check, when the options are called again, so it thinks, it shouldn't start itself at windows-start?

Mar 15 at 12:48am

Channing Dai @Michael R.

Sorry again for the inconvenience.

Could you please try to follow this blog post ( http://www.techrepublic.c...eduler/616 ) and add Listary.exe to system startup using Task Scheduler manually? Normally Listary should do this automatically, but since it's not working on your system, maybe we can figure out what's going wrong by doing it one step at a time.

Thank you!

P.S. I tried to send you an email, but it seems that the email address you left on BDJ is not working?

Bopsoft - Mar 15 at 1:12am

Michael R. Thanks again for your fast responses.

I have to go out-of-house now, but I'll try when I am back...

P.S. And thanks for the hint: I just updated my email-address.

Mar 15 at 1:20am

InterestedParty Just wanted to second Scott's comments - quick, efficient purchase experience. Thank you Bopsoft and Fastspring!

Mar 15 at 1:28am

If I buy using this offer I get updates on the product forever?

Mar 15 at 2:14am

Channing Dai @robert gamson

Yes. You'll get all future updates for free.

Bopsoft - Mar 15 at 2:20am

Mike Murphy Is there any way to increase the size of the output window (make it taller) so there isn't so much scrolling?

Thanks.

Mar 15 at 6:27am

Channing Dai @Mike Murphy

A setting for this will be added in version 4.1 with the skin feature. I'm currently working on a compact UI. It should be available very soon.

P.S. Directory Opus beta with Listary support has just been released ( http://resource.dopus.com...=1&t=18988 ), the corresponding Listary version will be ready next week.

Bopsoft - Mar 15 at 8:10am

Mike Murphy OK, thanks for all the quick replies.

Mar 15 at 8:52am

Joe McCormick My computer is running Windows 8 Pro 64. I am now running the latest version 4 of Listary.
It works with PowerDesk Pro 9, xplorer2, and Xnview without having to do anything.

I have downloaded the latest Opus 10 software. When I do a search a small one line window will open up in the bottom of the directory column. I do not get a pop-up menu like I do with the previous programs I mentioned.

I also cannot get it to work in XYplorer 12.30.0000 which is the latest version. When I start a search, your program will flash the search window very briefly and then a window will pop up saying something about XYplorer Scripting. I have a choice of continuing or canceling the script. Any idea why this is happening?

In the Listary options settings under "By Window Type" all of the programs I mentioned, except for PowerDesk Pro 9 which is not listed, all have a check mark in the box.

Mar 15 at 11:14am

Channing Dai @Joe McCormick

In Directory Opus you need to press Win + S to activate Listary manually. GPSoftware has just released a new beta version of Directory Opus with Listary support, and a new version of Listary with deep Directory Opus integration will be available next week. In the new version you won't need to press Win + S, and everything would be as perfect as it's in Windows Explorer.

Please make sure your XYplorer license is Standard License Pro (this is the only available license type now), the old Home license is not supported. If this is not the case, please send a screenshot of the XYplorer Scripting error message to support@listary.com . Thank you.

Wide Glide The prog isn't working at all over here;
W7 64 bit.

Mar 16 at 8:50am

Channing Dai @Wide Glide

Hello, could you please send more information to support@listary.com ? The following informaiton would be helpful:
1. What is the expected behavior?
2. What is the current behavior?
3. Some screenshots.

Thank you.

Bopsoft - Mar 16 at 9:14am

I tried other similar programs and Listary is the best. I´m buyng my copy right away.
Thank you folks for the discount.

Mar 16 at 3:13pm

Tortuga Soooo glad you extended the promo another day. Got quite sick past few days, didn't come around ...
Anyway, this prog has a *terrible problem!*, as in, one can NOT use another computer without feeling perplexed by the complex navigation & lack of intuitiveness !!!
Already bought this from past BdJ
Just bought it again, as my husband loves the way I can zip around fast!! :)
Everybody, just buy this now, the software is great, the Dev is great, your (computer) life will be great ... !!! ;)
Peace

Mar 16 at 9:39pm

VLM I just sent you a private support message via your website. Can you confirm that you received it? I ask, because there was no feedback on-screen.

Thanks!

Mar 16 at 10:47pm

Channing Dai @VLM

I'm sorry that I haven't got your message yet. I just tested and the contact form worked well. Could you please try to send it again or drop an email to support@listary.com directly?

Bopsoft - Mar 16 at 10:55pm

VLM Channing, the link you provided above, http://www.techrepublic.c...eduler/616, is not presently working. Is this a TechRepublic issue?

Anyone ... Am I the only one having this difficulty?

Thanks!

Mar 16 at 10:57pm

Channing Dai @VLM

The link is too long and has been trimmed by BDJ. Try this: http://tek.io/eZdLBD

Bopsoft - Mar 16 at 11:21pm

VLM Thanks Channing. The problem is apparently not with your link, I still can't get in. Either I have something blocking this site and don't know it, or the site is down for maintenance or the like.

Mar 17 at 6:29am

This isn't happening! Only a few days late for the discount on this great piece of software.
