Dear Channing,

I tried to add a custom network folder to search index but i cannot see all network computers when I try to add a location in Listary.

You can see in the picture below:

I don’t know if it is because of me or because of Listary. Do you know how we can fix this?

Using Listary beta 4.10.1441

This is weird. The select index folder dialog is a standard Windows component, it should show exactly the same contents as Windows Explorer. I’ll look into it.

Dear Channing,

I somehow fixed the problem. Listary seems to obtain its list of network devices on startup. I tried completely exiting Listary and restarting but it didn’t solve the problem. I had just upgraded to latest beta. So I tried not only to close Listary again but also to unlock and delete all related .dll files like Listaryhook.dll, Listaryhook64.dll from previous installation. I can’t just delete because they are always in use.
I started Listary again and finally, it then displays the correct set of network devices. Can I suggest you to add an additional option on the Search menu to edit index locations manually by typing location address if possible.

I’ll consider it.

Hi, new version works great so far. I just experienced crashes after removed an indexed external HDD, but then I removed the index from the options and it went well.

Thanks, all solved. I just wonder why you made the options window so keyboard unfriendly, it seems impossible to change options without using the mouse. At least could you make the tab to navigate within items? Thanks.

Unfortunately it’s not as easy as it seems. The Options dialog is not supposed to be used frequently. Almost all common tasks can be done using the popup menu or toolbar directly.
