What Is Listary
Idara Viengxay
AFAIK there is one major drawback when comparing to Everything (Voidtools): it closes the interface, so one needs to re-open it each time and (needcase) retype the previous search string.
For example: one searches on "Opus" - Listary finds all hits, one then open a folder, Listary is gone.
Regretfully it does not show modified date either. If files- or folder names look very much identical, the modified sort may help you to select the latest version.
I use Listary for quick searches and Windows Search (inside Opus) for more complicated ones. The "Open/save file dialogs" integration is nice, but does not always work (sometimes is not Listary's fault, as some programs use some kind of non-standard dialog).
I gave up on setting favorites and projects. I usually move my folder around and then I would need to upgrade the new path every time. In Opus I set a small number of aliases that are enough for me. The "find as you type" saves my time when these don't.
I tried that beta quite a while back. The last time I checked it appeared to be abandoned by the developer. Any changes on that front? I'm still using version 5 (pro) and it seems to work fine with Win 11.
The reason I posted was because some of us use Listary with Directory Opus and I initially couldn't find where to make it work. So I thought that I would share my findings with other users. I can say that Listary 6 and Directory Opus are working fine together.
Passes the full path and filename of each selected item. Files are passed one at a time - a command that uses this code will be repeated once for each additional selected item. If no files are selected the command will still be run, passing an empty string for this code.
Full paths, one at a time, selected items not required, long filenames, source file display
otherwise ive shut listary off inside of Dopus itself as Dopus does better at keyboard navigation without an extra popup box. if were still torturing myself with File Explorer I could see were it would be helpful. haha
I can't get the Listary bar to do a google search when Opus is focused (It will do it anywhere else). And their websearch hotkeys don't do anything. So 50% of the functionality of their tool is broken by using it with Opus, which apparently has integration with it (I've already posted about it in their forum.)
This seems like two issues in one post. The Listary issue should be reported to Listary's developer. We can't do anything about it, or at least could not do the initial investigation as we have no way to know what Listary is doing or expects in its own window.
You're right about the recents button. I didn't think to test it first. Ya, it's not updating at all. (*They, because it's the twin buttons on both listers on a dual lister layout).
My last recent entries were from like six hours ago. I've been steady working on buttons since then. I'm not sure what I changed to make is stop logging events.
I said that I did report the Listary bugs to Listary..
And you said in a previous post that you use Listary yourself. Since you are also an Opus developer, and Listary is breaking only in Opus, you would be just the man to talk to about it.
On a related note, my undo button list bugged out on me too. Related because it's a button that calls lists. I made it a three button. Undo works, undo close tab works, but the list doesn't populate, and the image bugs out into a semi translucent text title.
Listary is an enhancement that allows you to quickly search almost any listing in Windows by simply typing your search terms. The program will pop up a small, semi-transparent window in Explorer windows (including open/save dialogs), Task Manager, Registry Editor and even directly on your desktop. The program works with almost any application with a system-generated list.
Although some programs will automatically jump to the first letter you type (a find-as-you-type feature of Windows Explorer), you must type quickly for more than one letter and cannot see your output. Listary brings a long-time feature of Linux to Windows, letting you enter whole words and type slower with automatic changes. Additionally, it allows wildcards and has the ability to edit your input with immediate results.
Advanced features include hotkeys, autocomplete, blacklists, favorites, a customizable window. Note that the program contains many "pro"-only features, but the program is very functional in its basic version.
Note: The latest version is no longer portable. This entry has been updated to reflect the last known portable version of the program.
Listary v6 is no longer portable. There is only an installer version wich indicates that settings are stored in the user profile folder. Latest portable version is v5.00.2843 for Windows 10 / 8 / 7 / Vista / XP SP3. Download: ://www.listary.com/download/ListaryPortable.zip?version=5.00.2843
Listary 4.23.1728 has been released. By the way extraction instructions are not up to date- ListaryPortable folder doesn't contain Win32 or x64 sub-folders- there is one single Listary.exe for both x32 and x64 versions of Windows.
fyi, for those who ridicule support for windows 2000 - I had contacted Listary support last year, and they were very nice. They sent me an unofficial version that ran on windows 2000.
I have misplaced that file, and I have asked them again.
In the worst case, I'll implement at least the "find as you type" feature with autoit, if they are unable to help this time.
Sorry if my comment seems off topic!
The advantage of running an exotic OS, is that it is immune to modern malware. These oler systems can be used to go on the internet safely. Therefore, YES, versions for older (I mean "exotic") OSes are always welcome!
@ mica
Well yes of course especially when you're talking about such an old OS. I was so upset too that it does not even support Windows 3.1. Microsoft are such jerks. Hehe.
@ yogi
Well the way the shell in XP, Vista, and 7 works apparently is quite different than 2000 and therefore the continue to implement it was too annoying for the developers so they decided to drop it. They can't always make sure it works on every single version OS because that would be ridiculous (although at least they have it working in XP).
After reading the info on this site about what this program is about and reading the author's web site info, its clear to me that the info here is confusing and unintelligible. Why couldn't the folks at Portable Freeware take time to read the info provided by the author???
I miss "everything search" and "listary " of Windows - they are super quick to find and launch. Time for them to index my whole harddisk is 0.2 seconds[i guess they use the NTFS journal database]. They are automatically re-index instantly if some new files are created.
My first recommendation is ANGRYsearch. Superfast, fully configurable. You can find the official website here. To install, you need some dependencies (if not there already). In a terminal type:
I would use gnome-do myself. It occasionally froze for me the first time I would use it upon rebooting, but this can be mostly solved by changing its settings to get rid of the shadow and transparency effects. What's more you can change the appearance style (I prefer mini myself) and the colour of the widow to suit your preferences. Also it can if desired auto-start with your computer. To install type:
I have applications that can rename my files and/or move them around to different directories etc., and being able to simply PASTE the path or file names back into the respective Text fields of my Coda app would make the task so much simpler!
Aside from Coda adding this capability, you can use an OS-base scripting environment to create a hot-key that will paste whatever is in the copy buffer. Both ScriptKit and Espanso are free and can probably be used to create any sort of automation.
EDIT: I will add thanks for the pointers to espanso and scriptkit - they seem very handy - similar to when I discovered listary.com for working with files and directories.
Pictures speak louder than words. Here's a little clip which demonstrates why its static Search / Filter implementation severely limits Bridge's usefulness as a file manager. Considering the latest forum feedback (Bridge Search not finding anything at all...) your team might take the chance and solve the problem properly.
Both Windows and Mac have file-system APIs to track files. I've been working with large folders recently, still using Bridge 2022 because thew two newer releases are useless, and both performance and stability are terrible. I've had to write numerous scripts to get basic functionality that I need. All in all, pretty sad. These apps could be SO much better, it amazes me what they ship.
