Virus Scan for Listary Pro

James Kenney Oh, YES!
I got this program free on GiveAwayOfTheDay.com and thought that is might be somewhat useful.
MAN, was I wrong.
It is VERY useful. As a matter of fact, it has become indispensable!
I am going to buy this for all my computers when it goes on sale.
It does not look like much, and I did not use it for quite a while after I installed it, but once you start using it, it quickly becomes your method of choice for switching directories.
It's search functionality is just gravy!
It is not a general search, but a very specialized search that just searches for the kinds of things you are searching for when you are using it or the desktop.
Kind of like everything search, but just for the current location.
Don't miss this one people!

Frank Stephens I've mentioned in the past what a great product this is. Channing Dai, thanks for the continued development. I noticed that Listary didn't automatically add a couple of my external drives to the Favorites list. That's a tad inconvenient because Listary doesn't pick up the drive names when you manually add them, you have to enter the names manually. Other external drives were listed automatically.

So many benefits! I'll just give some quick examples:

1. After opening any file open/save dialogs, you can press Ctrl + G to jump to the folder you're viewing in XYplorer.

2. You can also do this by simply switch to XYplorer (after opening a file dialog) and then switch back. You'll find how convenient this feature is as soon as you give it a try.

3. You'll have a united favorite/recent collection for all applications. You can get instant access (mouse middle click) to your favorite folders that were added somewhere else in XYplorer or vice versa.

Ralph Bressler From their website:

Famous file managers (like Total Commander, Directory Opus and xplorer2) are also supported. You can also use all features in some utilities like 7-zip, WinRAR and FileZilla.

Why are people asking about support for these programs when this is clearly stated on the website? If you are asking exactly HOW it is supported, that is another matter! However, the statement above was right on the first page and I had no trouble finding it.

@ VLM

Listary supports Directory Opus (except the find as you type search feature). You can use mouse middle click or hot key Win + W to activate Listary in Directory Opus. Quick Switch (http://www.listary.com/quick-switch) also works perfectly with it.

@Jan-Christoph Ihrens

Yes. Go to Options Keyboard and Mouse and uncheck the "Double click in empty area…"

@SoftCollector

The answer is yes for Directory Opus. Sorry that I haven't tested Listary with Servant Salamander before, you can download it (you don't need to purchase to use the free version) and try it yourself.

I'll post the examples I gave to Emil again here:

1. After opening any file open/save dialogs, you can press Ctrl + G to jump to the folder you're viewing in DOpus.

2. You can also do this by simply switch to DOpus (after opening a file dialog) and then switch back. You'll find how convenient this feature is as soon as you give it a try.

3. You'll have a united favorite/recent collection for all applications. You can get instant access (mouse middle click) to your favorite folders that were added somewhere else in DOpus or vice versa.

Listary is much more than a file manager extension/plug in. It can boost your file browsing experience in all file open/save dialogs and many other applications.

James Kenney Another thing that has not been mentioned, is that it has the ability to create program specific shortcuts.
So, if you are in a program that has several directories that are used all the time, and the program does not seem to know that when you, for example, want to open a macro, that it should not default to the data directory, you can use Listary to bookmark them ONLY in that program.
That way you do not end up having so many bookmarks that you do not end up using them!

Just to be sure, before the sale is over... I just bought a copy and have four computers at home. I live alone. I only need one license, correct?
The POLICY tab says NO, but it is frequently wrong, and seems to contradict the info given in this thread.
So do I need to buy another licence?

P.S. I am posting this from the hospital(Had a possible heart attack), but I was not going to miss this offer!!!

The free version is a true contribution to get things done and really helps to locate files easily, especially in folders containing many of then.
If many files contais the same keyword, even in the middle or in the end of the name, the software allow you to find all of then easily.

GBB Mary - just guessing, but do you realize that you won't see Listary in action until you use an Open or Close dialog? Start NotePad or your word processor and open a file. You should see the Listary dialogue underneath the Windows Open dialog. That's one of the great things about the program: it stays out of the way until you need it. Anyway, you should watch the video as has been suggested.

VLM I just wish to say that Listary is GREAT software!! It works in Open and Save As dialogs. It works in Windows Explorer ... and in Total Commander, DOpus, and various others. It enables you to assign shortcuts that take you directly where you wish to go, eliminating all that up-and-down navigating in dialog boxes. It enables you to jump from within an Open or Save As dialog straight to the "right place" in Win Explorer or equivalent. It eliminates tedium and saves time. And it works flawlessly, in my experience, first time and every time.

My only requested improvement, which I THINK ?? is coming in version 4, is shortcut strings or compound shortcuts. (These may not be technically correct names. :) What I mean is the ability to create something like

... winkey-a, b, c

or the like. Not sure of timing for v4, perhaps this summer. (I hope! :):) But regardless of that, this program is a superb tool, and USD 10 for a lifetime license is, for all intents and purposes, free. So get it today!

(No, I don't work for the company. I don't sell for the company. I just genuinely like the product ... a lot.)

One technical note: Listary shortcuts are just that, not Windows global shortcuts. So Listary must be running in the background in order for the shortcuts to work. Just set it to launch on startup (it'll appear in the tray or whatever substitute you may have), and you're all set!

One personal note: Channing ALWAYS responds in a reasonable time frame, on topic, very clearly and accurately. Very effective, very efficient.

Mitchell Kastner Update. As far as I can tell you must first navigate to the folder in which the file or subfolder is located before Listary will find the subfolder or file. Windows search is more powerful and so is Avafind. I do not believe therefore that Listary creates a database of folders and files as does Windows Search and the aforementioned Avafind.

None the less, I do intend to purchase the license because of the money back guarantee; the positive reviews leave me uncomfortable that I might miss out on an important utility. Still for the inattentive the promotional video might leave one to conclude that you can find any file or any folder on the computer regardless of the directory (folder) you begin the search. Not so as far as I can tell.

But this is a lifetime license, so if you buy V3 now, you will get V4 when it becomes available.

A feature comparison between free and pro is available here:
http://www.listary.com/pro

In addition, speaking only for myself, I enjoy supporting excellent developers who respond timely to user questions and suggestions. Channing has shown himself to be quite good in this respect.

Fletch This is probably a no brainer based on the comments so far and Total Commander integration. I figured I might as well try it before I buy it though.

So, Options/Display/Window position. Is that a Pro feature?

I see the Pro button in numerous places on the options dialog. Is that an ad or does it designate a Pro feature? Many don't correspond to your comparison chart and only one that displays the logo is disabled - because it is clearly a Pro feature. Not that any of this matters because I'm definitely getting Pro - I'm just curious.

Nice work!

Sorry that the version comparison chart is a little out-of-date. I'll make a new one when version 4 is out.

Pro buttons at the most top-right are ads for the Pro version. They don't designate Pro features.

Innuendo Many thanks to Channing for bringing this back. I missed out on this deal the last time it was offered. (I saw it being offered, but didn't do my due diligence in checking out what this fine program could do.)

A month later, I found out what Listary could do and panicked. I emailed the author begging him to bring it back to BDJ.

When I saw the announcement in the newsletter I've been checking diligently every day for the deal to go live & immediately bought it when I woke up this morning!

I hope more integration with Directory Opus comes in v4. :)

Tortuga Hi
I've used Everything for a few years which I love & have AnVir installed which provides some nice Open/Save dialog features, so when Listary was offered some time bk on GOTD I thought I neither wanted nor needed it.
The glowing recommendation from BuBBy got the better of me so I did install it. And darn, am I glad I did!! Like someone said previously, it stays out of the way & makes one's life MUCH easier!! Have it installed on all PCs/Laptops. Like it enough that I want to encourage the Dev.
@Channing Dai
Thank you for being here & providing answers.
Even though you already answered, I still don't understand the License Terms & would not want to mess up v3.23 I have installed. 1) BdJ says its for 1PC+1Laptop «not» to be used at same time! 2) You say its unlimited if it belongs to same person. I do have several PCs & Laptops around the house networked on a LAN, they all are always ON & I switch from one to the next, whichever I'm nearest to since I can access the others from where I am.
So, is this license going to cover my setup? Was thinking maybe I wd buy 2 licenses instead of 1, to make sure I cover everything. What says you?
TIA

Francesco Savastano I bought your program, however I was a little disappointed to see I cannot be much faster as I first thought. It would really help if the computer menu (the one that shows all folders with an arrow to open subfolders) in listary would open immediately the nested folder tree (whithout needing the arrow) while the mouse goes over it (as it is in the windows start programs menu).
Also why doesn't the listary toolbar come out by default also with any normal explorer window (it happens only for the open and save dialog)

"It would really help if the computer menu (the one that shows all folders with an arrow to open subfolders) in listary would open immediately the nested folder tree (whithout needing the arrow) while the mouse goes over it."

This has already been implemented in Listary 4 (which will be available soon).

"Also why doesn't the listary toolbar come out by default also with any normal explorer window (it happens only for the open and save dialog)"

After opening an Explorer window, you can start typing something you'd like to search directly and the toolbar will show up automatically. You will be able to configure how the toolbar is shown in version 4.

There are two global hot keys. They are both in Options - Keyboard and Mouse:

All other hot keys (like those for commands) are internal. They will only work if you activate Listary toolbar first (Explorer is an exception, these hot keys always work in Explorer even if Listary toolbar is hidden).

Thanks for such a great little program at a great price. Am still learning it. Have the Hot Keys customized already! Yay!

Here is my wish list:

1- Give me the option to select Double Click on just Explorer and File Dialog but not Desktop..... or any possible combination if possible. Looks like the Hot Key will be good enough though. At least I can continue to use Fences which is centered around a Desktop Double Click.

2- Allow me to access any open application through Listary. I keep my toolbar hidden and Alt- Tab-Tab-Tab-Tab get tiresome. This would be great when my IBM Thinkpad is in Tablet mode and am using a stylus .... Would have to use a double tap since the keyboard is hidden or would probably set up a Pen gesture to call up Listary. ... Argh! :-) Is a triple click option possible?

3- Allow me to set up URLs in Listary.

This could be a single solution to accessing everything which is why I was seeking a Hot Key program.

The Best to You!

GBB Channing,
I've learned a lot about using Listary by reading these comments. While exploring, I've found a couple of things to put on a wish list: 1) I always have TotalCommander open with four tabsheets and Listary only lists one of them under Currently Open Folders. It would be nice if it could list all four (or whatever number). 2) It would also be nice, supposing that all open tabsheets in TotalCommander were listed, if it could open TC to the selected tabsheet when TC is minimized. Currently it just opens TC but doesn't select any particular pane or tabsheet.
BTW, I like this program more every day. You've done a great job!

Channing Dai @Gbb
Thank you very much for the suggestions!

1) I'll work on this after finishing Listary 4.

2) I'm sorry that I don't quite get this one. Do you mean you want Listary to activate TC window and then select the corresponding tabsheet instead of opening a new TC window (or tabsheet)?

Bopsoft - May 12 2012 at 10:37am Copy Link

GBB Right now, if TC is minimized on the taskbar and I click on some directory in Listary (let's say 'c:\mystuff'), TC is opened and takes focus on the previously active tabsheet and whatever folder it was using and 'c:\mystuff' is nowhere to be seen. The ideal thing from my pov would be to open the previously active tab to 'c:\mystuff'. I hope it's clearer now. Please let me know if it's not.

PS: Yes, I had filled in the path to TC and although I can be forgiven for not knowing the /O /S switches, I confess that I didn't even notice the second line of the "Fill this...other than Windows Explorer" message where it says to put %1 in the path. I realize that it's from my own carelessness, but you might want to put the second line in red to make sure people like me see it.

ron r I really really recommend this tool.
I purchased this a few weeks ago and I can tell you right now that this tool besides totalcommander makes every other file explorer / explorer add-on useless (well ....there may be exceptions...)

This tool takes about 30 minutes to get used to (maybe a bit more or less) but after that, you just refuse to work without it.

File browsing and managing gets way more faster and pleasant.
Saving / opening files get's a hell of a lot faster to.

I really was getting tired of filling up the left side of the windows explore folder view with shortcuts and such...Now I let listary do the "heavy lifting" when it comes to file management/ file access.

And I really love the license model where one purchase sets you up for lifetime updates/upgrades (while the product lasts). Forget about the % off "deal" ... waiting for that to happen you just makes your current way of file managing / browsing / saving / loading , last that much longer. (For this prize and license model do your self a big favor just buy it and start using it).

Neil I've had the free Listary installed quite a while and I have not found it useful unfortunately. Part of this is that I usually use Search Everything as my file selector for finding files, since I have a couple hundred thousand files that I work with...it's much easier to just type part of a file name in Search Everything, the list instanftly appears, then I double click to open, or I can copy the file name and path to the clipboard and open it in any dialog.

That being said, I had HOPED that Listary would give me the power of Search Everything convenitently in the dialog box. But the Search portion of Listary appears to only search the current folder! It doesn't even appear to search subfolders--making it useless since the dialog itself gives you easy navigation including type-to-find.

Does PRo have better search capabilities than Free? Your feature matrix doesn't seem to suggest that. But if it did, or the new beta does, I'd definitely consider it!

Channing Dai @Neil
If you love Everything, you must love the new beta version. Please take a look at it: http://www.listary.com/listary4-beta

I've been using Everything since the very first version (before starting developing Listary). It's a must-have and Listary makes a great combination with it. I'll let Listary integrate with it more.

@Neil @Metta Zetty
Here are some Directory Opus integration examples (using Listary 3.51):
1. After any open/save file dialog pops up, you can press Ctrl + G to jump to the folder you're viewing in DOpus directly.
2. If you switch from any file dialog to DOpus, do some work, jump to a new folder and then switch back to the file dialog, Listary will let the dialog open your working folder in DOpus automatically.
3. Press your mouse middle button or the hot key Win + W, Listary will show up with all your important and recent opened folders.
4. And many more...

Listary is not a search tool, it's much more than that. I developed it hoping to bring a united file browsing experience to Windows. You love DOpus? That's great, then you don't have to feel the pain of navigating in file dialogs anymore. Do all your file browsing work in DOpus and let Listary takes care of these dialogs. Just started a new project in DOpus? Middle click your mouse and add the project folder to Listary's favorites, and then you can access it everywhere (file dialogs, Explorer, 7zip...)

Hitman Hello Channing, Listary reminds me of the ceased FlashFolder
http://sourceforge.net/pr...ashfolder/

which is deeply loved by Rarst.net
http://www.rarst.net/software/best-3/

Is FlashFolder the original inspiration for Listary? Clearly Listary is much beyond FF now, but I'm curious about how the "seed" started.

Oct 19 2012 at 8:45am Copy Link

Neil Channing...yes, that's a marked improvement in the beta using Everything. And I tested the integration with DO and the navigation etc. and that worked even in the current edition.)

So I'll leave the beta on and see how it goes. If it 's reasonably stable I'll license by the end of the day (since you say it's a lifetime license!)

But a few early comments: The search doesn't really work well unless you manually turn on search everything using the > The auto "use everything" seems to do something, but doesn't turn up much. For example, I type "psyche xml" and I only get one match in paths. But ">psyche xml" and there are 100+. Why is that?

Also, the only way to scroll through the list appears to be the arrow key. The mouse and mouse wheel don't work. The page up and page down keys dont work either. Those were my first choices, in that order, and what I'd expect.. Finally, I tried the arrow key and that worked. But it's more awkward to page through a bigger list.

And you might think about extending the list, offering the path to the right of the file name, so more fit in the drop down. Most people have wide enough displays...it's height that's limited.

Listary started as an enhancement to all kinds of lists in Windows - Exploer file list, file dialog file list, Task Manager process list and lists in many third-party applications. It can help you search / select / export data from these lists. This is also where the first four letters in the name came from. (P.S. The current version can still search your Task Manager, give it a try!)

Then I found that almost all users were only interested in those file lists, I decided to focus on file browsing. Other features like favorite folders were added gradually. I tried many applications in the file management category, and FlashFolder was one of my favorites. I really love its clean design.

Without the Greater-Than sign (your first example) Listary will only search the current folder (and its subfolders). If a leading Greater-Than sign is appended, Listary will search all your disks (same as you type it directly in Everything window).

Page Up/ Page Down/ Home/ End/ Mouse wheel are supported in version 3.51. I haven't added them to the beta version yet. They will be available very soon.

Chris Roy Jackson Has anyone else had a Problem with PayPal ???
It seems that Avangate & PayPal do NOT get along well for ME!!!
I always go through my entire PayPal Login & Pamyment method selection and complete what SHOULD be a successful sale...
THEN Avangate refuses to accept it and Says that I must go back to the Merchant and "possibly" select another method of payment!!!

I havwe already been successful using my VISA as I didn't want to miss out on this GREAT Deal, but I can't believe (how???) AvanGate keeps its Merchants if many others are having problems like ME!
I'm no newbie... I've been using PayPal successfully HUNDREDS of times over the past 15 years and Avangate and ONE Other Processors are the only two that give me these kind of "fits" !!!

Tortuga Discovered this little gem through GOTD
At first I thought: what does this actually do? T'was puzzling, as it integrates so well into the system, I didn't actually "see" anything
Well anyway, now when I am at someone else's PC, I'm just discombobulated, as navigating into deep nested fldrs is just a nightmare. I too use Everything, glad to see more integration

Absolutely love this little app! Even though already had it (GOTD), decided to buy a license to encourage this fine developer, that's how great I think it is!!!
Highly recommend to anybody, it really really speeds up everyday tasks!!

VLM I realize that I'm chiming in late in the day, but I wish to add my voice to those who have praised this product. This is simply one of the very best, most useful, most well-designed, and most stable products I have ever used ... going all the way back to 1976, when I began programming for the first time. IF that sounds like an exceptional endorsement, that's how I intend it.

The thing that strikes me about Listary is that I continue to discover new features and new uses for existing features. The program is amazing ... and beyond.

And Channing responds to EVERY email ... ALWAYS.

The pro version has a few nice features that I use regularly. But even if it didn't, I'd buy just to support Channing in a heartbeat. In fact, we've purchased more than 1 license just for that reason. Worth every penny, and a whole lot more IMO. In fact, I think I'll sign up for another license right now. I don't need it ... but I want it!!! :)

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.

David H (Seattle) 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.

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?

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?

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?

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.

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.

Ela S. Thanks for this great deal!!!

Using the free version already for about 3 years, I would estimate that Listary does save me about 20 MIN PER DAY. Esp the "Recent files" lists do dramatically speedup the work-flow.

It has replaced my good old prog Folderguide, which unfortunately does not work in Win7 any longer.

So my questions now are:

1. How to install the new Listary Pro version, when an older version already does exist, to save the old settings and links? Have one to deinstall the older version?

2. How to generally save/backup the settings of Listary Pro? Honestly, the first settings need quite some time for finalisation.

Bruno Verschraegen Can Listary be set to just search for files and NOT for folders? And If yes, can this be a permanent setting.

I hate it when folders and files get mixed and all show up in search results.

I asked the question the other way around last year (searching only for folders) and that feature was not supported. I am since using another programme for quickly searching and accessing folders only.

If Listary could do the job of files only, it would make for a great combination.

Cary Adams After some procrastination, I bought this last time, and it has become one of my most useful tools.

Knowing just a partial file name, I can launch my memos with ease, far quicker than looking for shortcuts, or drilling down through file manager. An awesome tool

Optionally it can return results from my Evernote as well.

And it comes with lifetime upgrades... Why are you still waiting... the "Buy Now" button is just above ;)

DroidLuvr I purchased Everything through BDJ last year, and have just updated to the latest version. I have re-read the comments above and gone to the link about the beta of DOpus that is better integrated with Listary.

It states: "Added a command to DOpusRT (/info) that allows third-party tools to access the list of currently displayed folders and files in Opus (this will allow improved support by tools like Listary)."

So in the options for Listary, under the Default File Manager settings, what .exe file and parameters should I be using for the best integration with my DOpus??? -- [I have the latest beta 10.5.2 I think....] and it should include any Listary integration improvements.

Thanks Channing!

Because one user can't use two computers at the same :) You can't type or move mouse on two computers simultaneously.

Listary Pro is licensed per user. If it's just you, one license is enough. If your family also want to use it, you should purchase more licenses.

Listary Pro does replace me following progs now: (1) Folderguide, (2) Launchy, (3) QTabBar, and (4) Windows Search.

One can reach a folder or file destination in 1-2 mouse clicks and few mouse moves only.

And it does work fine in other explorer apps (Directory Opus etc).

Is there a way to select a tool by entering letters, if the mouse is on the taskbar?
Often the desktop is invisible because of a big window in the front. But when moving the mouse down, some bars appear (taskbar, quick-launch, user-defined bars) - I have choosen the small icons, so there fit a lot of programs in there. So it would be quite useful to be able to quickly select a program in these visible bars by pressing some keys too.

Cary Adams @_*_ There's different ways of making it happen. Do this. Click anywhere on your Desktop surface and start typing something related to what you searching for. A live search window should magically appear updating with every keypress.

Or... Open an Explorer window and double-click on any open whitespace. A different window will appear with access to your favorites, recently used, commands and options.

You should fund the app parked in your tray if it has been loaded.

I've had this for sometime, and am still learning how to take advantage of its features. Basically it is an awesome tool to quickly find your stuff. Yes, you can drill down in Explorer, but I've gotten lazy. I have files I update weekly, and I can type just a few characters of the filename and launch the file directly from my Desktop. FWIW, this is a filename search tool. It won't search for file contents (use Xyplorer for that).

_*_ Thank you all for the replies.

I am still encountering no response when I open Explorer, type directly on the Desktop, or type within xyplorer.

What does work is if I double-click on the Desktop, or in Explorer it will display a Favorite, Recent, Currently Opened, Commands, and Options dialog box.

I really want to try this out and buy it, but I am having trouble making it operate.

No, I only use Windows Explorer. My problem is when I choose a favorite when I double-click on the desktop, or select a favorite directly from the Windows taskbar.

But still does not work the favorites from the taskbar.

I'm a bit confused: the dwld page says the current version is 4.23.1727, but the last entry of the changelog is 4.23.1728.
Since there are no dates on the changelog (there should be!!) & the setup exe does not specify the file version either (ALL setups say version 0.0.0.0), I don't know which version it is, nor if there is a newer version than the one I hv installed.
And even though 4.23.1727 was issued in September, when I hover over the dwld on the dwld page it says 13.Nov.2014
So... very confusing

Have another question:
I bought XYplorer & Xplorer² here on BdJ, Listary can integrate w both.
I do use Explorer, XY and X², so was wondering how to integrate ALL 3 w Listary, still leaving Explorer as default?
Most useful wd be to be able to call Listary by double-click on XY & X², as it does on Explorer (that option is greyed out in Options for XY & X²), and to hv Listary toolbar at the bottom on XY & X² - No tb appears on XY or X² !
It's probably simple to do, I've searched but can't find how.
Any help wd be much appreciated. Wd use XY & X² much more often, just hard to do anything without Listary, this app is just so fantastic, can't do without it

Unfortunately this is not supported. You can use mouse middle click or assgin a hotkey for the popup menu in Listary Options - Hotkeys.

The toolbar will show up automatically when you type anything to search. You can also use the hotkey to activate it manually.

Tortuga Hi Channing :) Appreciate you taking the time!
Something I don't understand, what does it mean then that Listary "integrates" w XY & X², if dbl click is not possible & tb does not appear?
Is it bc Explorer is still my default file mngr?
Does this change if XY or X² become the default instead of Explorer?
If not, you should look into this, bc *anybody* that uses Listary just can't be without, this app is just indispensable!!! I really mean it!
I wanted to move to either XY or X² but now ... Having Listary is my priority! What to do!!? *sigh*
Thank you & Merry XMas :)

N.B.: People, just buy this app, it's just fantastic, accessing any folder is just soooo easy, fast, intuitive.

> if dbl click is not possible & tb does not appear?

The toolbar appears automatically when you type anything in xplorer2 or XYplorer *exactly the same* as in Explorer. Try to type something in xplorer2 and you'll get the idea.

Listary can't support double-click in XYplorer because XYplorer handles double-click itself (going up one level), and there is no way to distinguish whether the user double clicks on a folder or on empty space in both XYplorer and xplorer2.

Trust me, I want features of Listary to be fully supported in all applications more than any of you. But it's 2-way support: it's necessary for Listary to support the file manager, and the file manager also needs to provide interfaces for Listary to access. Many file manager developers have their own road maps and want to implement some features on their own instead of letting Listary do the job, or they simply just don't have the time to implement the interfaces some of which may be complex indeed. I fully understand it and respect it. So in some applications not every feature of Listary can be supported. I'll focus on what Listary can do on its own and provide a better experience based on that.

ron r Let me be short about this:
GET THIS TOOL !

It will make file/folder management a much more pleasant experience.

Even the video's don't do this tool justice.
There is a free version and a paid version with lifetime free MAJOR upgrades (4.0, 5.0 ...etc...), this means you're restricted to those small one version updates e.g: 1.1, 1.2 until 2.0 where you have to pay for 2.0.

And now it's 50% off...

(Any news on when the next version, 5.0, will come out?)

I use both Everything and Listary together. Everything is good to find quickly what you are looking for and yes it is fast and free. What makes Listary different for me are;
- Integration with Directory Opus and all other major file managers, find-as-you-type almost in every dialog, file lists, programs..
- Customizable Favorites menu accessible with one click or hotkey to easily navigate between your most used folders, files etc.
- Integration with any Open/Save as file dialogs to quickly switch to a specific folder, favorites, recent folders or you can choose from already opened folders in Directory Opus or your preffered file manager including windows explorer.

Listary is much more than a search tool. I'll just list a few examples.

Listary integrates with apps. For example, when you need to save your work in Photoshop, you can do a search and open the target folder in the Save File dialog directly.

Find-as-you-type allows you to type directly (you don't even need to press a hotkey to activate it!) within your favorite file manager to filter and select files. It can improve your productivity dramatically. Check this video for more info: http://www.listary.com/find-as-you-type

Listary also adds Favorite and History feature to all open/save file dialogs.

Roger Rines Listary Pro is a surprisingly useful tool. I work with thousands of market files most days. Finding them by opening and scrolling through folders would be a huge time sink. With Listary Pro, all I need is a few characters of the file's symbol prefix for it to appear in Listary's access area. Listary Pro makes finding and moving files so easy I wonder why it hasn't been installed by Windows.

Bertie Brummel @ vendor: Back in 2011 I purchased this software and must have deinstalled it soon. This promotion reminded me to try it again in the upgraded version.

My guess is, there's an incompatibility with Total Commander ( TC, or something else on the PC): With a folder name selected in TC, tand F7 hit to change the name, I can delete letters in the folder name, but not add new letters.

Testwise I restarted TC , then even re-booted the computer, the problem persists.
After de-installing Listary Pro again TC works as it should.

Looks like Listary is the culprit. Any idea how to fix this?

Ela S. Time to renew my declaration of love to this out-standing program: What would Windows be without Listary Pro :-)

Pls don't use the free version only, the Pro version offers an extra-ordinary bunch of additional features. Life-time updates is offered free for all future versions. Even full price for this would be too low.

Mainly using the context menu for favorite folders and files, one minor point which might be improved is how to add items to this menu. Actually, there is an "Favorite - Add here" command line in the Listary menu window. This puts a new favorite at the bottom of the whole context menu. One has to edit this new entry and drag it to the desired position.

Maybe a simple right click in Windows Explorer on a folder/file "Add this to Listary", or in Listary context menu "Add favorite at this position of the context menu" might be added in future?

Bill Sech There have been times where I've found this to be an extremely usefull program. I like how, with listary you can just start typing in "Desktop" or "Windows Explorer" and it automatically comes up. Very quick, though you must have the desktop icons turned on for it to function. Occasionally it wasn't working with it being prompted to do so however with a rebooting of the computer it was restored to functioning though I have no reason why. I like it overall and have been glad to have it.

I've WIN 7 Ultimate, TC 8.5x and (had) the latest Listary Pro offered here installed. I made no changes in TC; you're right F7 starts the "create directory" dialogue. By default it offers the selected folder's name. If one has to create folders with similar names - f.e. if the only difference is a date at the end of the new folder name -TC's F7 is very comfortable because you only need to change the date :-)

My suspicion: With Listary Pro running in the background changes of folder names may be blocked? Perhaps there's a setting to stop this in Listary?

Thanks!

When you press F7 in TC, a "New folder (directory)" dialog pops up. Do you mean that you can't type in this dialog if Listary is running in background?

P.S. I used the following steps to test the bug, and TC worked as expected:
1. Select a folder "1234" in TC.
2. Press F7.
3. The "New folder (directory)" dialog pops up with the default folder name "1234" highlighted.
4. Type "5678" directly to change the folder name.

Folder "5678" was created successfully in my test.

As a regular BDJ-er, there are many programs I've purchased that I find useful. However, there are just two that I absolutely wouldn't live without. One of those is Listary Pro. Saves me so much time, and is such a pleasure to use. And yes, the current beta is very stable...installed it and never looked back.

Not quite correct. Like I already wrote in my first post, I could delete letters in this dialogue but could NOT add new letters.

Example: If the folder name shown bei TC was

The Bat_2015_12_28

I could delete 15_12_28

but not replace it by

16_02_13

To test your suggestions I reinstalled and re-registered the actual trial ofListary Pro again today and to my surprise the problem has gone.

Looks like the previous installation failed somehow.

Bruno User I'm a long-time license holder of Listary Pro, but not a happy user; instead, about once a year, I re-install to look up for updates, then quickly de-install again; I had bought without first trialling, exceptionally, because of all the rave "reviews" that abound, and that was obviously a mistake. If this program worked fine, the very low original price would be more than justified, let alone 50 p.c. off.

But, the developer knows about the problems but never did something efficient about it yet, to my knowledge (well, my last re-try has been around some months now), and that's a real pittance.

The options/settings in the program that include/exclude some programs from Listary jumping in, never have worked as expected for me, so it has never be possible for me to designate some file manager(s) where Listary takes over, and others where it does not; the settings are there, but they seem unreliable, and I tried really hard, and so this program is unusable for me since it displays all the time and everywhere whenever you try to go, within any file manager, to go to a specific file or folder.

To understand how Listary works: In a file manager, you enter the very first characters of some file or folder, and then the active window display jumps to the very first entry which meets those characters, example: Your input: ex, file manager display jumps to example.doc., within the currently displayed folder in the active pane - so much for file manager standard behavior.

Now Listary overrides this standard behavior, insomuch as it intercepts your "ex", for "looking up" ALL possible files and folders anywhere in your system which names begin with "ex", and it displays a list of (most of the time, unwanted) "hits", and it does this not anywhere else on your screen, by as overlay precisely where you would have wanted to look up your "ex..." within your current (!) folder only, thus hiding the real hits.

So in order to understand how this program works, you must bear in mind that there is no special trigger key (let's say some Alt-Control-x which could then be reassigned in Listary to F8 any other key of your choice) which then would open a tiny dialog in which you would put your "ex", and which, after your stopping entering more such character for let's say 600 or 800 ms (to be perfect this delay should be able to be personalized by each user), would then trigger the "all ex... files/folder" search, BUT your entering the "ex" within your browser alone will trigger all that, so Listary spares you exactly 1 key press, but at the expense of making the similar, current-folder-only "search" unavailable.

So, in order to avoid Listary jumping in every time, the only theoretical solution seems to be to have the current folder in two different file managers, and to switch to the "other one" whenever you just want to access something in your current browser; this alone is far from perfect, but let alone that I never succeeded in preventing Listary from jumping in anytime, even in browsers I had entered in the "exclude list".

So there are two problems: The exlude list being reliable, and then, I think, i would also be a good thing to do the exclude in a different way: Not "jump in vs. do not", but "jump in here automatically vs. work here, too, but only by an additional, leading, trigger key" (as explained above): This would enable the user to use just ONE standard file manager, but do the normal jump, within the current folder, in the traditional way, while at the same time having Listary jumping in by a simple key press.

Btw, behind the scenes, if I'm informed well, Listary uses Voidtools Everything (you'll need the voidtools part of your google search in order to find the too-generic-called free software Everything), in order to instantly list all possible hits, which Listary will then, also instantly, group and display much more handy and visually attractive than Everything alone will do - except for the fact that in my tries with Listary, I also have always been unable to change the very un-office-like looking orange red (for a red, it's the equivalent of what grass-green would be for green) to a some more less fun-for-children looking, soberer color.

It's possible that in the meanwhile, some of my points do not hold anymore, and I would be happy to be rectified insofar, in order to de-shelf my Listary version again, update it again, and trial it again, this time possibly NOT shelving it again almost immediately afterwards.

Thanks for your comment. If you have any problems using Listary, instead of uninstalling it again and again, simply send an email or ask on the forum. Usually you'll get a reply within 24 hours.

It seems that you've tried a VERY old version of Listary. All the issues you listed have been resolved long ago. Please give the latest version (5.00.2410) a try: http://www.listary.com/

1. To disable the automatic find-as-you-type feature, simply open Listary Options - App Settings, select your file manager from the list, then uncheck "Find as you type" on the right panel. You can always activate Listary manually in a file manager by pressing Ctrl twice even after disabling find-as-you-type. This feature has been supported for a very long time. I'm not sure why it didn't work in your case.
2. Listary doesn't use Everything.
3. You can change the color scheme in Options - Appearance. P.S. Orange red is Microsoft Office theme color (https://products.office.com/), and what can be more office-look than Office ;)

If you have more questions, please don't hesitate to post here.

Bruno User Hello Channing,

(oh, sorry, probably it would have been Hello, Dai,?)

Thank you for your fast answer. The main problems subsist; perhaps we can straighten some things out, for the benefit of other users, too. (I had installed Listary 4.23 on my pc, but never using it, i.e. with the option "Start with Windows" un-checked. So I updated again, had to restart my pc, did this, but then, my license was correctly updated, i.e. the About field showed my license. So nothing to criticize here.) (I had asked for help years ago, but with no real result, i.e. your answer did not resolve the problem, so I didn't force it.)

Also, I now find, unter the "Skins", an edit field, for adjusting colorrs, which I may have overlooked some time ago, as well as the other "Skins": "Orange-Red" problem solved.

I spoke from memory above, now I speak from my new tries today.

As said above, from my experience, Listary jumped in in ANY file commander. Today it is different

____________________

I have serious problems with the Listary window, which goes against intuition. (I stay with my above "ex = example" example.)

First, why show the entries to which the current file manager window jumps anyway, i.e. example.txt, example1.txt, example abc.text and so on? This is a duplication of entries, before your eyes, while the Listary list only contains some 11 and a half entries anyway (I think I can make the window full window heigh though), so that Listary should show additional entries, not duplicate entries.

Then, in Listary, the existant entries (current folder) are NOT listed in alphabetic order, as you would expect though. Leaving aside the bad example with a space, since that would create discussion with regards to the right sorting order, when I have 3 entries example.txt, example1.txt, example2.txt, they are listed by Listary in any which aleatoric order, not in the abc one, and this is so irritating that for this additional reason, I consider the Listary window, as far as these double entries are concerned, a real nuisance.

Then, below the current-folder entries beginning with "ex", Listary lists the current-folder entries containing "ex" somewhere within the name; it is undeniable that this is a real plus value of Listary over what the file manager shows for "ex" - without Listary, you would need to access some "quick view" function within the file manager, and providing the file manager came with such a function, and it coming with the correct settings, in FreeCommander XE for example, there is a setting "quick view displays entries starting OR entries having the characters in question", but you first must access that setting, and there is no handy toggle for that.

Now in the Listary window, there are the "starting" entries, unnecessarily doubling those in the file manager, then the "having" entries, but without a divider / separator line within the two groups, and further groups below all come without a divider line on top, so that it is visually not that easy to distinguish one group from the next, the missing abc order of the entries even working to additional confusion.

Also, the Listary window comes with headers "List... 78" entries, "Path... 100+" entries, but clicking on these headers does nothing, e.g. filter the list down to a sublist, and then, in an optimized Listary, further down again perhaps: Neither with dozens, nor especially with "100+" entries in a list you can do much in real life, so "filtering further down" would be more than welcome.

Or at least and to begin with, the aforementioned divider lines separating the groups, all the more so since scrolling the Listary window is not really easy and is similar to the "Lost in hyperspace" phenomenon, since scrolling is endless scrolling, unexpectedly: When you reach the end of the list and expect that scrolling ends, a "Home" key pressing bringing you back to line 1, scrolling continues, so that you are lost very quickly in lists that are too long, especially since Listary does not seem to have an option (a toggle, with visual indicator, would be so helpful!) to just search for "beginners" vs. "containers" (see above), and thus the list you find yourself in can quickly become virtually "endless"; all this being said, too, in the respect to Listary's current not yet allowing for "throwing out" entire (parent) folders out of the list, or of selecting the relevant (parent) folders only, especially when the very first list becomes too broad in scope: it's always "all or nothing" instead.

So all this above is not about "bugs", not even about "promises not met", but of, if you like, "illusions", about what a program like Listary could and should do, in order for being extremely helpful in everyday office life, but what it, unexpectedly so if your expectations are high, does not do yet (years later).

____________________

Now for the above-mentioned application lists.

I said (or meant) above, Listary jumps in everywhere, even if the file manager in question is not in the list. This was the case when I last tried (in 4.23), and as far as I remember, among others, with SpeedCommander, which was not in the list (from start on, I think, so no need to uncheck it there), and in which Listary jumped in though; at least unwanted jumping-in of Listary was true with several such file commanders, among them SC, and being them in the list to begin with and/or after unchecking them in that list.

Today (5.00), Listary's behavior is even weirder: FreeCommander XE is in the list, checked (i.e. "jump in"), and Listary does not appear with it; on the other hand, SC is un-checked (for "do not overtake"), and Listary intercepts every time.

Now, I shall again re-start my computer, in order to see if the problem for the last problem lies perhaps in Listary needing a restart after such uncheckings, but even success now would not explain its doing nothing in FC XE.

Now, after restarting my pc (and now, as expected, automatic start of Listary with Windows), I get the following results:

inclusion list: everything checked = included, except SC (unchecked = excluded):
(btw, that list - "App Settings" here in 5.00 now) is not in alphabetical order either, which is really not helpful)

FC XE: Listary does nothing!!!
Total Commander: Listary does nothing!!!

FC (old version): Listary works as expected (jumps in since not excluded)
X2: ditto
XY: ditto

FileBoss: Listary jumps in, while FileBoss is not even mentioned in the list; so if I wanted to exclude File Boss from Listary taking over, I could not even do so; the same would apply to several other non-listed file managers

MultiCommander and others: Cannot say since I all threw them out before

SC (unchecked = "excluded"): Listary jumps in!!! (I have SC 11.67, not 15 or 16, which could be the reason of the unchecking being disregarded)

Now, without restarting my pc again, I do more un-checks, with the following results:

- unchecking does not work with "exotic" file managers not listed (or is there a trick for that (registry/ini file tweaking?), without them being in the list?)
- SC is in the list, but unchecking does not work (yet), but rectifying this should not be a problem
- there seems to be another minor problem with FC XE since even checked = Listary activated, Listary ignores it
- in TC, Listary's not jumping in could be my fault, since an "ex" in the list pane makes jump focus to TC's address line (I don't know TC well enough)
- in general, in-the-list-unchecked file managers are left alone by Listary now (= big advantage over old(er) Listary versions I had tried before)

This being said, there is no toggle (yet) for "your entry at start vs. ex in the middle".
And there is no toggle (yet) for "jump in (if not excluded anyway) everytime vs. just by an additional trigger key", meaning you would use Listary whenever needed, but not when not needed since the current file manager will jump to the "ex..." (not: "...ex...") anyway.

(I know the time difference between Asia, Europe and the Americas, will check again tomorrow, too: no problem with that.)

(Just by curiosity, no harm whatever intended: Was is not that Listary itself at some time, years ago, announced something in the line of "Now with Everything implementation, it is even faster"? Does my failing memory really invent this "info"? (I cannot exclude this, just that I certainly do not invent this on purpose.) But whatever, Listary is as fast as Everything is, while more "handy", it's use being somewhat integrated in the current file manager, while Everything is outside of that and with the charm of a raw spreadsheet.)

Thank you for your reply.

First I highly recommend that you check the 4 demo videos at the bottom of the article on this page. They can give you some simple ideas about how Listary is used in real-life.

----------------------------------
First I'll answer your questions about the application list. I guess you're confused because you mixes Listary itself with the find-as-you-type feature (FAYT, "jump in" in your words).

The standard way to activate Listary is to press Ctrl twice.

Find-as-you-type is only an *additional* way to activate Listary. It can save you a few key presses. *It has nothing to do with the core features of Listary*. For example, Total Commander doesn't support FAYT, but all major Listary features work very well with it. After pressing Ctrl twice, you can open a search result folder directly in your current TC window. You can also add/open favorite folders in TC, or use Quick Switch and many other features.

FAYT supports the following applications:
1. Applications that have added support for Listary (e.g. XY, DOpus). Adding FAYT support requires some extra work of the file manager developers, so not all file managers support FAYT.
2. Applications that use the standard Windows list control can be supported by FAYT automatically. That's why Listary shows up in some apps that are not listed in Options - App Settings. FAYT even supports Task Manager because the task list is a standard list control.

To disable FAYT:
1. If the app is listed in Options - App Settings, select it, then uncheck "Find as you type" on the right panel. You do NOT need to uncheck the app itself.
2. If the app is not listed, follow the "Listary conflicts with an app" section here: http://www.listary.com/do...leshooting

----------------------------------
Answers to some of your specific questions:

> First, why show the entries to which the current file manager window jumps anyway

Sorry I don't get the question. Imagine that you type "ex" and Listary don't show "example.txt", then "example.txt" is selected in Explorer and "another example.txt" is selected in Listary. So which file is really selected?

Besides, because Listary lists all these "example..." files, you can simply press Tab to cycle through them. You can also keep typing "ex 2" to select "example2.txt" directly.

> Then, in Listary, the existant entries (current folder) are NOT listed in alphabetic order

They are sorted by relevance to your search query. I may change this to use your current Explorer sorting order in a future version.

> Now in the Listary window, there are the "starting" entries...
> Also, the Listary window comes with headers "List... 78" entries...
> Or at least and to begin with, the aforementioned divider lines separating the groups...

Note that Listary is a search tool. It uses Google-like keyword search and you can type multiple keywords. So instead of navigating and scrolling the result list, simply keep typing a more accurate search query or add more keywords to narrow the result list.

> Was is not that Listary itself at some time, years ago, announced something in the line of "Now with Everything implementation, it is even faster"? Does my failing memory really invent this "info"?

I can guarantee that your memory is excellent. The message was Listary implemented (added) Everything-like fast file searching feature.

If you still have some questions, please don't hesitate to reply.

Bruno User Hello, Dai,

Thank you for answering. First part:

Your comments are very helpful, you should perhaps consider that by simply clicking the checkboxes in the above-mentioned App list, the user currently will never see the corresponding info on the right side; it's been only now, after reading your comments, and thus especially looking out for them, that I discovered them, after clicking in the textlines, vs. just the checkboxes before. Thus, if a user clicks a checkbox, without having clicked into the app name, or otherwise when the info to the right is not yet visible, you should make visible the additional info. This my not seeing that info explains why I thought the checkbox (to the left of the app name) triggered Listary's jumping in when typing into the list field.

Now, the checkbox to the left is something other than the jump-in checkbox to the right, which I see now, but WHAT the left checkbox really does is not entireley evident then, since the double-control-key will display a dialog everywhere, i.e. also in non-file-manager applications. There you type ex SPACE (as I learnt only now I admit), and you get the usual lists discussed above, and since it's system-wide in scope, the same remarks apply, "100+" is not really manageable. Also, it would be a good thing if the user could get "display the Listary dialogue" from anywhere by any, self-assigned key / key combination, instead of the specific double key pressing "2x control".

I now fully understand your explanation "find as you type" which depends on the controls the file manager in question uses: for some of these, Listary can intercept the typing, for others not; this puts us back to the question why the latter apps are within the list to begin with, it seems Listary can interact in some way with them which I didn't find out yet.

____________________

We're speaking now of the file managers where Listary is able to intercept the character typing in the list field, and with both checkboxes, left and right, checked.

"why show the entries to which the current file manager window jumps anyway"

Let's say we have "example1/2/3.txt" in the current folder. I type "ex", in a file manager that allows for such quick access. Now in the list field of the file manager, "example1.txt", i.e. the first "hit", will be selected, and since I, and most other people, too, have their file manager lists automatically sorted in ABC order, "example2/3.txt" will be listed immediately under the selected "example1.txt".

Now these 3 entries will also be displayed in Listary (but in disorder), and I don't like that, but now that you say it, I admit the Windows keybord just having one down arrow key, not two, to access two concurrent apps, if Listary just showed other entries, not these double ones, the user would either first have to press Esc in order to hide Listary, in order for the focus reverting to the file manager, or there would need to be an additional key pressing in order to set focus to Listary: If Listary has focus, but the entries to access are only in the list of the file manager, an additional user action would be needed. So I see your point here, I hadn't thought about this before. It is evident that this mutually-exclusive access is another strong argument for the introduction of a toggle "search-as-you-type intercepted by Listary on-off", in fact the same as in the right checkbox in the settings, but immediately accessible 1-key, for real-life use:

Whenever in a file manager allowing for type-as-you-search, you don't need Listary for "ex...", but you would put it on for "...ex..." or "...ex", and you would put it on for any non-current-folder ("ex..." or "...ex...") search. This would then even allow for not listing "ex..." hits of the current folder, unnecessarily taking precious list space. An even more sophisticated solution would probably be, instead of a toggle, something like control-1/2/3... for advising Listary distinct scopes: current folder, ditto with its parent folder, ditto with its parent and sibling folders, global:

Every such means would be welcome to get away from those aforementioned "100+"-lists, considering that in many cases, you don't remember enough characters in order to reduce the list by entering more such characters.

.

You say, "Besides, because Listary lists all these "example..." files, you can simply press Tab [or, of course, the down arrow] to cycle through them. You can also keep typing "ex 2" to select "example2.txt" directly."

This intrigued me, so I tried this with a real example, and indeed, that works fine and would normally be EXTREMELY helpful. But here again, my real-life example (from the current folder) was hidden deep down in another "100+" list, beneath dozens of irrelevant (but always correct) hits in other folders, so the practical usefulness of this fine functionality was deeply impaired.

So it all narrows down to your "relevance" sorting, which mixes it all up for me. I understand your argument we should try to narrow down the list by entering more parts of the file/folder/etc. names (and which works fine, as said), but that is often not possible, especially for people who use tagging codes as part of the file name: Similar codes may appear in distinct parts of the file system, but their respective relevance is, most of the time (and that's why you trigger Listary from a file manager then), determined by their proximity to the current folder, determined by your choice in that file manager (displayed folder in the currently active pane).

Instead, Listary tries to establish some "relevance" of its own, and which is perfectly inscrutable; e.g. here, today, my 3 real-life examples (instead of "example1/2/3" were displayed by Listary in perfect disorder, while Listary had not been active for many months, so could not have fetched any relative access frequencies to any of them. So, Listary even introduces "relevance" when positively there is no information obtainable for it to judge about "relevance", and it's in consequence all mixed up, and, as we all know, the time to identify a single entry in a non-ordered list is several times the time needed to identify (and select/click) an item in an alphabetically-ordered list; the same problem occurs in the usual "history" lists of many applications, which most of the time are not abc-sorted, but by time of last access, so you lose an incredible time to get to the entry you need, every time you use those lists.

So please consider a toggle, at least, for "traditional, vs.: listing in groups (current folder, parent, sibling folders, same drive, other drives), with dividers/sub-headings in-between, and each group, in itself, abc-sorted".

In fact, real (!) relevance sorting would need so much AI that any attempt to introduce "relevance" just mixes up and makes very hard to browse lists which, alphabetically sorted within sub-groups, would make hits almost immediately accessible (as said above, even dozens of irrelevant "hits" in other folders got between my relevant, current folder hits, and that said again, too, IF sort order was acceptable (from current folder to remoter ones, in abc-sorted groups), any "...ex(...)" ("ex..." less so since functionality comprised in most modern file managers) and especially "...ex ix" search in Listary would be of TREMENDOUS help:

It's all there yet in the lists Listary presents, it's just all in an awful mix. I acknowledge that the additional grouping/sorting routines then would "cost" some additional milliseconds, but I'm absolutely sure users would recover these in "visual-access-to-the-really-wanted-hits" time tenfold and (much) better!

And then - please! - make the endless scrolling available by toggle only if really some users need/want that, which I doubt. At this time, the Home and End keys do not have any function assigned to them in Listary, which is quite spectacularly non-standard. In the FastStone Image Viewer settings, that toggle is called "Loop". So, please let us have some Un-loop setting!
.

And finally: Oh, "Everything-like" it was. That was quickly reduced to "Everything" (implemented) in some fora by third parties, and hence, false ideas spread then. So you did "just" a similar work to Everything, and as good as there: Brilliant!

.

EDIT: It just occurs to me that you should not "stop" at Home and End, but PgUp/Dn could jump to the previous/next group within the list. It's all there, you just should strive to add immediate availability, too, which would be easy to implement, and which would multiply the usefulness of this high-potential super tool.

Thanks for your reply.

I can see that all the problems come down to search result sorting. In fact there is a plan to redesign the sorting algorithm Listary uses in the next major version. It should resolve some of the issues you mentioned.

------------------------------------

> you should perhaps consider that by simply clicking the checkboxes in the above-mentioned App list, the user currently will never see the corresponding info on the right side; it's been only now, after reading your comments, and thus especially looking out for them

I'm considering moving the checkbox to the right side. This will force you to click the app names.

> WHAT the left checkbox really does is not entireley evident then, since the double-control-key will display a dialog everywhere

It's a system-wide hotkey, just like an Explorer window shows up whenever and wherever you press Win+E.

> it would be a good thing if the user could get "display the Listary dialogue" from anywhere by any, self-assigned key / key combination

You can change it in Options - Hotkeys.

> But here again, my real-life example (from the current folder) was hidden deep down in another "100+" list, beneath dozens of irrelevant (but always correct) hits in other folders, so the practical usefulness of this fine functionality was deeply impaired.

I'm a little confused. Since we're talking about Listary interfering with your file manager's FAYT feature here, I assume that your real-life example file is within the current folder and is shown in your file manager's file list. In that case, your file will be shown in a separate "List" group in Listary and no files from other folders will be shown above it, just as shown in this screenshot: http://www.listary.com/wp...orer-1.png

> And then - please! - make the endless scrolling available by toggle only if really some users need/want that
> It just occurs to me that you should not "stop" at Home and End, but PgUp/Dn could jump to the previous/next group within the list.

I'll definitely consider this.

ron r I recommend you invest 9.95$ to boost your day to day file-management productivity. (even at full price, this tool is worth it's weight in gold).

There is no other tool like this, just watch the videos.
On top of this, it has a portable version.
And on top of that, all minor and major updates are free.

So does it get any better?..... There should be a plugin support upcoming (don't know when, but for now all the current goodies within Listary are well worth it's full asking price!!!).

It's one of the few applications that I run constantly and have available in the systray.

Get...this...tool!

Bruno User Hello, Dai,

Thank you for your considering some amendments.

Trigger Listary by user-assigned key(s) from anywhere: very good (I must admit I was too lazy yesterday to look this up myself).

.

Mixed-up groups. Since you say otherwise than I was sure yesterday, I had a good new look into this, and I now see I had been mistaken yesterday, but a new problem arises in this respect (which yesterday had led me astray).

.

Listary mixes up files and folders within the same/current directory, does not put folders before or after the files, but treats them the same, and yesterday, thus I had some relevant files in the list, then dozens of irrelevant folder entries but which I did not identify as such since Listary does not (no italic e.g., no icon e.g. to differentiate them from files), then again relevant file entries, so I thought these interfering folder entries were file entries from some other folder. It clearly appears here that Listary should do some sort of grouping and/or (better: and) identifying of folders, instead of mixing them up with the files in the list; coloring or background-coloring (chamois or light grey, both visually non-intrusive but clearly indicators) folders would be another means of differentiation.

I have got files and subfolders named in parallel - and deliberately so - in the same folders, and Listary presents them to me as "double entries", with currently no means of knowing which entry is the file, and which one is the folder.

.

Also, Listary seems to try to group entries, first the ex..., then the ...ex(...(ix...)), but it does not do that in a systematic manner, i.e. at any moment, it may decide to "rise" some (more often accessed) file from out of the ...ex... group to "higher up", but this way, you never know where to look for it, and as said, within the groups, there is "chaos" insofar as

a) Listary tries to give precedence, weight, but hampers your looking up, having destroyed quick-visual-access abc order, and

b) Listary even tries to do that when neither file has been accessed (I remember since I've been running Listary just for 2 days now), further hampering visual access.

Then, the current grouping of Listary is not really evident since there are no dividers (lines and/or subheadings): These take a row, that's right, but they speed so much up visual looking up that this sacrifice would be amply justified.

.

Long lists: I understand you did not really looked forward for them appearing, or then you foresaw quick shortening of them by the user entering additional characters (by "exABC" or by "ex ABC", i.e. for identifying another part of the names). But then, very often, by doing so, the user will unfortunately discard relevant hits from the list, and probably with not even becoming aware of that loss, so users will need to cope with long lists staying long while they are searching for the hits really searched for, and thus a tool like Listary should be optimized to present such longer lists, too, and this would necessarily come with, by option, abandoning the intended global weighting of entries instead of discrete, standardized grouping allowing for no exceptions, and adopting strict abc order within these groups / subgroups.

In order to not entirely abandon the idea of weighting, Listary could have, in this second, group-then-abc-sort way of doing things, a sub-toggle for "bold entries that Listary judges currently important for you": Thus, they would remain at their systematically correct position, and they would be of prominent visibility at the same time (... and users could get rid of this bolding of entries as long as Listary does not judge importance as correctly as it probably will do after running for more than 2 days ;-) ).

In the b) = "both string parts at the beginning and within the entry names" case, divider lines, could/should subgroups with abc subsorts; I deliberately left out the problem of distinguishing between (current) "and" and alternative "or", but would be happy to provide my ideas for user-encoding that, too, in case.
.

It should be possible to shorten the list as far as possible from start on, all the more so in the light of the above. Thus, it should be possible to get
a) files only
b) files and folders
c) folders only,
and this selection should of course be available as easily and quickly as possible, as the whole paradigm of Listary is to provide instant results.

I'll treat this below.
.

But let me first give a hint to another highly useful discrimination:

The user should be able to shorten the list by having Listary only present results
a) with ex... at the start of the name(s) of the searched entry/entries
b) with ex... at the start and ix somewhere else in the name: ex... ix(...) (jx...), i.e. combination between a and c
c) as in b, but without the ex...: ...ix (jx...) (...)

For this latter problem, your (and Everything's) ex space ix gave me an idea:
a) ex
b) ex ix (i.e. with a space, and ex ix jx...)
c) space ix
Systematically, this is perfect: Any search string at the beginning comes without space, and any search string "within" comes with a leading space, be it the only one or be it in combination. (And since many a time the user will search in form a) anyway, the (now necessary) additional space I suggest here will not be of a big nuisance, while introducing enormous benefit, and it goes without saying that this solution is much more convenient than the usual fiddling with and without asterisks, the space key immediately available on any keyboard.

It goes without saying that this does not interfere with selection/going to within the current file manager window, since in case, Listary intercepts anyway, and would just analyze the very first character of what the user enters, then discarding it from the search string (butsee below).
.

Now back to the files/both/folders problem. Since you could not use a toggle, here either, the problem presenting again 3, not 2 alternatives, I would consider a similar code character in front of it all, and in front of the above space, too.

First, we would need to identify the alternative most used, and that would be the one without any additional code character (i.e. no symbol before the space or before the first character of the search string): I suppose that would be a) = files only.

Then, less often needed searches would be for "both" and for "folders only"; my personal guess being that searching for "both" would be very rare.

So I would use a comma as first character for "folders only" searches, and a dot, respectively, for "both", but that could considered sub-optimal if the users either searches for files OR folders "all the time", and thus doesn't remember the "both" code, so why not doing it this way instead:

ex or ex ix // files only (most cases)
, ex ; folders only, here (space!) for a string part NOT at the beginning
,,ex ; both, here for a string begin

That's easy: comma meaning folders only, and 2 commas both, the user needing just to actively memorize "comma is folders only", instead of possibly mixing up two different code characters.
.

Why did I not present code characters AFTER the search string? Well, those could become useful for scope, and of course, there would start a quite lively discussion which scope would NOT need any code character here.

Above, I made a mistake, leaving out subfolders, so a correct scope list would probably be:
a) just current folder (as said, very useful even triggered from file managers allowing for search-as-you-type, whenever the string is not at the start of an entry)
b) current folder together with its subfolders
c) current folder, its subfolders and its parent folder
d) as c) but including sibling folders of current folder (together with subfolders (as always, of any indentation level) of these sibling folders)
e) current drive
f) all local drives
g) as f) but including network drives

As you can see, nobody will be able to memorize different codes for all those, but then, some scopes will be used much more often than others, and it would be possible to use (always behind the search string), e.g.
a) ,c
b) no code (since this is probably the most frequent search)
c) ,p
d) , (since this is probably the second most frequent search)
e) ,d
f) ,, (since this - the currently only available (?) search scope - is probably the third most frequent search; as said, these alleged frequencies would become subject to discussion)
g) ,n

With all these suggestions realized, Listary would become state of the art, function-wise, and with *preserving* its current "instant access, instant results" character, but with displaying much more relevant lists, which would also become instantly visually-accessible, on top of their current qualities.

When the results are there within the tenth of a second anyway, it's all about "how many seconds will the user need to identify the entrie(s) he's really searching for, 2, 3, or 10 or more?". Listary as described here would solve that problem, now imagine how many more people would rave about it than even do today!

Thank you very much for your suggestions.

I realized that many of the issues you encountered were caused by the 3rd party file manager you were using not fully supporting Listary. Try Listary again in Windows Explorer and you may get a totally different experience.

Using commas to filter folder/file and set search scope is a brilliant idea. I'll consider it carefully and try to integrate it with some of Listary's existing features (e.g. advanced search syntaxes http://www.listary.com/do...rch-syntax). I won't use your solution directly because the learning curve would be too high for most users. The majority of Listary's users are casual users. They use Windows Explorer instead of 3rd party file managers. They're looking for an out of the box solution to help them find files in a way they are familiar with (like Google search) so they don't have to learn anything new, and Listary does a good job fulfilling their needs. However for some advanced users like you, these aspects of Listary may seem inefficient. It's not easy to find the balance, but I'll keep trying.

Bruno User Hello, Dai,

Yes, I understand that. My idea was to not complicate the search string for standard use, but at the same time to make available quick-entry codes for more advance use, users learning/memorizing just such additional encoding as they need.

As it is, sometimes, the user cannot get access to more precise narrowing things down, e.g. the helpfile says, in advanced search: "Append a trailing \ to a keyword to indicate that it’s part of the parent folder path. It can appear anywhere in the search query."

Now we all know that Windows only allows for paths of 254 (or 255 or 256, just cannot remember, makes no difference in real life) characters in length, so I hold names of important folders / parent folders of big subfolder hierarchies as short as possible, thus I've even got many 1-char folders, so you imagine what results I get when I try e.g. some i\, \a or \e for it being "part [!] of the parent folder path". ;-) !

I can drill that down in Everything, but with lots of specific encoding to memorize, i.e. I've got to look up my notes all the time for that, so I feel deep understanding for your hesitation to spice up Listary with user-side encodings putting strains on the users' memory.

As an aside, and to clarify the idea behind my "end codes", it's not only about making available "immediate entry" (instead of time-consuming popping-up dialogs with option settings and such), but also about grouping often-used scope areas into immediate-access groups, by "grade of vicinity to the current folder (as determined by the currently active folder in the file manager from which the Listary search is triggered)"; it goes without saying that the possibility to choose specific parent folders somewhere / anywhere, as in your abc\, is also needed and of utmost importance, let alone the frequent use case Listary being triggered from within any other application or then, too, from within a file manager, but the user precisely NOT wanting to change the current folder in there, but wanting to look up something totally un-related to that.

Just a note to casual readers: My assertion that drilling down longer lists too early will often result in discarding relevants hits, and without your even getting aware of that, obviously concerns searches where you expect to see several hits relevant for your means, not just one: if you happen to have discarded a single searched-for hits, you very probably will enlarge your scope again after realizing you've just discarded what you had wanted to access.

And a little note re the application list: Just a line "Click on the respective app name in order to access more options for it.", italicized and in 8 point, after a blank line beneath the list, i.e. clearly visible but in no way intrusive, would amply do the trick for new users. (Existing users might want the clickboxes to the left, left untouched.)

Summa summarum, I think we've got a very constructive little software design discussion here, and, saying that as an endorsement, albeit an incredibly complicated one, admittedly, I would never invest so much of my time in some software I wasn't very intrigued by, so, let alone the price of either 10 (here) or 20 bucks (regular), and lifetime on top of it all, Listary Pro is an unambiguous recommendation. ;-)

CodeDog Been using this program daily for years, excellent utility that I wouldn't want to be without. If you work with lots of files and folders on a daily basis, this is a real time saver.

The only thing I wish it had is the ability to save Windows Explorer sessions. I keep quite a few Windows Explorer windows open, and I have the system set to reopen all windows on a reboot, but if the power goes out (or system crashes) I lose all those open windows. I have session managers for my browser windows, but it would be great if Listary had that ability for Windows Explorer.

Harlen Wiebe I've used this program for years and I don't know what I'd do without it. I set up the favorites list for all my most used clients and then I can zip to their folder instantly. Listary's "Ctrl G" hot key is a really useful shortcut. Just have Explorer (XYplorer on our case) open to the working directory and when you save a document, "Ctrl G" instantly takes you to that directory. A super time saver!!!

unisorce I have been using this program for quite some years, I own multiple licenses so I could use it on my home and work machines. I am not a Listary power user but just the simple option to have your favorite folders and recently used folders available in every explorer window is worth having this application. Also love the fact that it works with Directory Opus.

Lito Tortuga - It's a new feature of the program but there is no way to disable listing the contents of the directories yet. So if you want to move to the v5 you need to use the v5.00.2334 version before the listing of non directories was put in. Hopefully we will get the option to disable it soon cause I don't like it either so I am stuck on this version I am using. I have seen Change logs posted on the discussion forums btw so you might want to look there.

Once I started using Listary, I could not imagine being without it.

It is rare that you come across such an awesome application that is executed so well.

Allan Winston Having read Bruno's comments and the replies, I see the suggestion is to download the latest version of Listary Pro. I also purchased an old version in 2012. With the lifetime free upgrades, it is unclear to me how to get the latest version without paying again. Can you supply a URL or alternate procedure, please?

Lito @Tortuga Oh I thought you were asking why all the favorite folders were listing all the files in the directories in your popup menu with the latest version. If that wasn't what you were asking then just ignore the reply. :)

In case anyone was wondering in the latest versions listary can be slower to use on directories that have lots of files in them since all those files are listed in the listary favorite popup menu. Many of my favorite folders I only want to see the subdirectories listed in the menu not the files in the directories themselves because having lots of files (like over a thousand) slows things down. It's not slow that it wouldn't be useful, but slow enough to notice and makes all lists basically stretch from the top of the screen to the bottom every time in most directories. That means a longer mouse travel time to reach the destination subfolder I am trying to get to which would be near the top of my screen. It's a bit of a nuisance right now at 2560x1600 resolutions, but once I move to a 4K screen that will be unbearable IMHO. I have confidence the developer will put the option to disable it in a future version but till then if you don't like it you have to use an older version.

Charles Beauchamp Is there a multiuser version of listary?

Is there an unlimited multi-user version of listary?

Can a version of listary be limited to searching for files to view but not manipulate otherwise?

What I would like is a version of listary that I could integrate with an unlimited version of WordWeb in order to allow for the search for standardized concepts in WordWeb (or any other program that contains a synonym thesaurus or concept parser) that would then yield first a set of concepts being searched for and then a list of files that contain those concepts on a set of virtualized discs, the purpose of which is to standardize the viewing but not manipulation of files by multiple students dialing into a computer with an unlimited user capability for this functionality.

Ideally listary could also have the functionality of not only automating the retrieval of files, it could also automate the ability to name files according to a synonym thesaurus of concepts.

Sara User Very satisfied customer here. Just some weeks ago, Chai the developer helped me out with something very kindly, and I promised myself to repeat here what I then told him to thank him:

I've got some special work folders where I've got a lot of files and sub folders (also with files, sub folders...). So for finding folders and files in this compound, out of thousands, by the starting characters of their names, the abc-sorted lists in the panes of my file manager would suffice, but for finding them by just some sub strings within their names, I entirely rely upon Listary which thus helps me out and again, and the relevant findings are on top of the list and are thus immediately accessible (since current folder, then its sub folders).

Some file managers come with similar functionality, but then mostly only for the current folder, which is far from being enough in most cases, and anyway: It's then regularly much more fuss to get to that special "filter" list and then back to the regular abc list, so you won't use that functionality but in desperate cases, while the Listary file filtering is always there and brings immediate results, so you quickly rely on it to greatly speed up your work.

And even if your file lists are shorter than mine and in a very well ordered folder tree: What about files which are accurately sorted into their main context, but which you need within some other? Most of the time, you will remember one key sub string indeed, and just typing that will bring the needed file at your immediate disposal, from anywhere else, no need to do extensive navigational work within your file manager in order to access them.

And this is just one of the numerous uses Listary can be brought to and where it's a big time saver. Now consider the incredibly low price, and this purchase is an absolute no brainer - if you don't own this absolutely essential tool already anyway, that is. ;-)

Vivaldi I just purchased 2 licenses. I was sent 6 license codes - 3 for each license.

The fine print says that each purchased license may be installed on 3 computers, but can't be used on them at the same time. That's why I paid for 2 licenses. I will probably, at some point, need to use it simultaneously on 2 computers.

Are the first 3 codes in the list for the first license, and the next 3 for the second? If I install codes 1 and 4 in the list, am I actually installing both licenses, one on each computer? I'm assuming that's the case, but I would like clarification.

Also, if I install the other codes to my other computers (I have 5 total right now), what happens if I accidentally use the codes to the same license at the same time?

A thought: It's going to be an inconvenience to keep a list of which computers shouldn't be running Listery Pro at the same time. I'm willing to try it because the software has received excellent reviews over many years. But if it becomes a problem for me, I'll uninstall and find something else. You might want to reconsider that part of your licensing.

Robert Bull My only "problem" with Listary Pro is that Channing didn't write it earlier :) It's hard to explain the benefits without trying it (hint: there is a freeware version), but if like me you "live inside" a compatible file manager, and Listary supports most of the popular ones, Listary makes it vastly easier to get to the files and directories you want, because it points standard Windows File Open dialogs to where you are in your file manager. Favorites, global and per program, make it easy to control File Open dialogs when you don't have a file manager open. Those features are only a fraction of what it can do.

Javier Gil Just watched the video. A couple of questions:

a) How much HD space does the database take once it's been built? (I'm presuming it builds one, not sure if it does!)

b) You know when you get the list with all the file suggestions? is it possible to set it up so that it displays more data for those? such as date of creation, size, etc.? If you have dozens of files with the same name, but you don't have additional data, you might need to open them all, one by one, before you know it's the one you're looking for.

c) can it find files with that a particular string of words within its name or does it only find files which begin with that string?

Cheers.

DimL. Hello all,
I opened this offer out of curiosity. I read the comments. I thought of giving the software a try and a few minutes ago I purchased it. My review, even after playing with this software for only a few seconds: it is AMAZING! So fast and seamless operation! I am loving it already.

@Javier Gil: Regarding your question (a) it seems it starts running out of the box, so I assume it may be already using the default search index of windows - no additional DB needed. Regarding (c) as you may see from the scr4eenshpts (and I can confirm) it searches the typed keywords everywhere within the file-name/path.
Of course I may be mistaken so please verify with the developers.

Sara User @Javier Gil:
a) not even worth mentioning, even on the tiniest mobile devices, there is no problem whatsoever

b) for specific metadata, use (the free) "Everything" or (the paid) "DeskRule", but bear in mind there is no ease in using those tools so you will not use them but in special cases whereas Listary's incredible advantage is immediate, effortless access to anything (anything simpler than specific metadata that is), see c)

c) just read my comment (first here for this week-end's Listary offer): Listary's incredibly EASY access to files/folders with ANY substring (at the beginning of the name, somewhere in it, or at the end (think of "tagging in file names", too, if you like that concept!) is its main advantage over ANY file manager (and over "Everything", too!)!

Btw, and I wasn't specific/correct enough in my post above about this: Even for sub strings at the beginning of the names, it's only in the current / main / "parent" folder that your file manager will find you the list entries, and only one-by-one, not as a list, but with Listary, you will find the entries - and, as said, by ANY substring - even within the "child" folders of your current folder, and all neatly sorted (first those within your current folder, then those within its sub hierarchy, then others, from elsewhere in your system.

As said, it's incredibly handy, it's a big, big time saver, and no, I'm not paid for saying this in any way, I'm just very thankful for this tool which is one of the finest there is out there in the Windows world - together with "Everything", for the very special cases.

Get BOTH programs: Listary for everyday use, for immediate access to "things in your vicinity" dozens of times a day, and Everything for those rare "where the heck far away did I put ..." cases. And yes, Listary integrates admirably into all the relevant file managers for immediate availability of what you'll be in need of.

a) Normally 20-50 MB. The index is very small.
b) That will be supported soon in a later version.
c) Listary uses Google-like keyword search and can match any parts of file names.

Michael R. I bought it sometime ago and have it running mainly to quickstart often used programs and like it a lot.

Here some feature-requests:

My desktop is quite full of Icons, so instead of selecting an icon directly it's mostly easier to use Listary to select and find it. Unfortunately - due to the background - even if it is selected I can often hardly detect where it is. If Listary could make it move for a short time, this would be quite easy.

Because of these much Icons I decided to move the most used down to the quickstart-panel. Unfortunatley Listary now does not display it entering the program-name, so because of that I currently let their Icons also on the desktop... So perhaps an option to combine desktop and quickstart-icons would make sense).

Thank you for your friendly response.

In fact I newer ask questions before I exhaust the exploration of available options.

Before I asked my question I disabled all programs and dialogs (including Windows Explorer) but even though the file manager I use most often- Q-Dir (besides tabs it also offers four panes) is not supported, "Find as you type" always pops up. I was able to disable "Find as you type" for other programs I have (7-Zip, FlashFXP, XnView, XYplorer, etc) but it always appears in Q-Dir and its seem that this cannot be disabled. I would appreciate an option to disable "Find as you type" generally for all programs and dialogs (with one click).

This will be a significant boost to workflow. As an example, if I type "white paper .doc" then that will show me at the very top the current (last edited) white paper I am working on. This is how I use Everything. At the moment with Listary, it's just a random(?) list.

I have been looking for an app that could encompass Everything + Direct Folders (which is also great but I have given up on due to bugs). You've got something really great here - and it's good that you are continuing to improve it.

By the way, you probably want to change the default Win+F for launching Listary as I think Creators edition prevents it from being mapped away from the Feedback hub.

Tortuga Hello all :)
For anyone using Everything, which I do EVERYDAY all-day-long, it does NOT do the same thing at all, even though both fall into the "Search" category. Both are very smart, but do different things.

This really is the most useful app !!
Been using it for a few years, have turned quite a few people into using it too ;)
The problem is, once one has used it for a little while, it's quite confusing when using PCs that do not have it installed :( It's just soooo intuitive & clever!
The Quick Switch alone is **ab-so-lu-te-ly** wonderful, so easy & practical!! Don't know how other people can endure all that clicking, when this is just so intuitive!

Can't say enough good things abt this app. At this price: GET IT !!
No, I don't work for the company, don't even know them, just love-love-love to use this :) :)

Hope this helps

1) if this kind of file activity likely to result in a large index file, either on disk, or as it seems from your previous response "in memory"
2) I only look for these files once in a blue moon, so is it possible to exclude them from the index?

In addition to these files there are also a version history of backup files created every time I save a source file etc. so there are lots of files (with the same names, different extensions) that I would ideally like to exclude from the lists that I pick from. Any thoughts on how to handle these?

1. No. Listary only indexes file names and it keeps the index in memory while running. Those short-lived .dcu files have a totally ignorable impact to the index size and performance (it's just adding and removing some strings in a database).

2. Not recommend. Windows notifies Listary of file system changes on a whole partition base. So even if you exclude these files from index, Listary still get notified about them, then it has to filter them out which requires some extra work.

Thanks - The dcu files do persist until overwritten again, so if I could exclude them without a performance hit that would be ideal.

I have some unused disk space so could create a partition for files like this. If I excluded the partition, would Listary still get notified?

Yes, you can fully exclude a partition from index in Listary Options - Index without affecting performance. However there really is no need to do it unless you get many unwanted search results from that partition frequently.

Cary Adams @Shazza... I hear what you are saying about your SSD, BUT... the point of the SSD to rapidly handle files that are frequently overwritten (much like the Windows OS activity). Limiting your SSD to files that are infrequently changed forgoes the benefit of an SSD.

Worry less about SSD wear (today's units are remarkably robust); instead, consider the performance and responsiveness of your system as a whole. Indexing services like Listary are made for SSDs.

Ian User I've been using this tool for years. I actually have windows indexer service turned off on my old PC and I only use Listary Pro

As PCs get old Windows Indexer slows them right down.. and I simply don't need to do explorer searches at all with Listary running.. I'm not kidding.. its better.. faster.. and has a ton of handy options.

I need a copy of Listary Pro for my new PC.. and Bits delivered a half price copy once again ;) (I was loading software on it until 3am last night.. and intended to buy Listary Pro today.. thanks Bits!!)

If you code or have a ton of PDFs, pics, vids etc.. Listary will blow you away with how fast it is.

I create a couple Quick launches on my machines and make heavy use of the "SendTo" hack on Windows machines to quickly send files to where I need/want them.. add Listary Pro to your tool set and all those files (I have tens of thousands filed this way) are searched, found, accessed (or file location opened etc) in seconds.

It is my favorite utility I've ever used BY FAR!

Cheers!
Ian

Kevin D I see that Listary can export file and folder lists to CSV format. Can it also print file and folder lists directly? Thanks.

This is not supported. You need to export the list to a file first.
