However, if the desired folder is not directly found, it does not work to switch to the folder where one of the found files resides. In Listary v.5, this used to work by right-clicking on a found file and choosing “open containing folder” (or something similar).
How is this supposed to work in Listary v.6? CTRL+[number] does not work for me. Also, Listary does not even jump to the folder AND file, when I click on one of the found files.
Something seems to be broken. This is on version 6.3.0.63 beta.
However, CTRL+[n] seems to be broken, doesn’t it? Also, I believe that the old right-click option to go to the containing folder also should be added again.
Right Click options nearly always make sense, and were present in v.5 in that dialog…
But why is CTRL+n not working here? I tried and deleted the settings file C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Roaming\Listary\UserProfile\Settings\Preferences.json
already
Don’t know what’s the reason on your system.
My settings are there since version 5 and were imported into the version 6 long time ago.
Maybe some other tool catches the Ctrl-n hotkeys ?
I posted about this issue already about 1-2 years ago.
I have the same experience as David. I believe there might be confusion because he said right click. In these Save As diaglogs, when finding a file not a folder you were always able to press right arrow on the keyboard and it opened the dialog to “open containing folder” in a same way it still works if you enter it in listary when pressed ctrl 2 times. But if you are in a “save as” or “open file” dialog in a software lets say Word. It does not give you these options when pressing the right arrow. I also miss it a lot and its the reason i havent made the switch to Listary 6 yet.
The option to use “contrl + Enter” i know, but i also wanted to change this to using “Contrl + right” or just “right” as shortcut, but when entering that as shortcut for “opening containing fodlder” under the Listary Action Settings, it does not have any effect. I believe thats the same situation that David is also describing. If i use “contrl+Enter” it works, if i change it to any other key, lets say “contrl+K” it also works, but if i enter “contrl+Right” or just “right”, which is possible, it does not have any effect.
For me, it follows changes in the current Total Commander or Explorer Windows.
This happens automatically when an Open/Save dialog is shown.
Also, it shows the line with a search filed and Favorites / History buttons,
where I also can enter any search text.
I don’t miss anything here with actual version 6.
So on my end, even if i can set contr+Right, as command to open the folder, it doesnt have any effect.from my point of view, there is an issue. I understand “right” is a key different from Enter, or any letter, but since i can asign it i would epxect it to work but it doesnt.
I was rereading your post. Maybe the actuall issue is still not clear.
Yes, i get the search field below the window, i can also enter any search and it also shows all the files, but the Action Shortkey to “open containing folder” that us usually set to “contr+Enter”, does not work if it is set to “contr+Right”, thats the issue we are reporting here.
If you want to test it yourself, go to the settings, Actions, then change the hotkey for “open containing folder” from Contr+Enter to Contrl+Right, and tell me its working, because its not for us.
And one more point, the workaround to set it to Contr+Right, is also also only used because compared to previously version 5, when pressing right, the extra menu was showing up that showed “open coontainging folder” right away, that option is not possible any longer in v6, which is breaking the learned workflow.
You are right.
It’s also not working for me.
Personally, have no problems using Ctrl-Enter.
I changed to Listary version 6 starting with the first betas,
so there is no trained other key.
Also, I prefer context menu instead of learning a lot of hotkeys.
But nevertheless support should fix the key assignment problem
or explain whats the reason behind.
Thanks for checking. I agree, i am also not a fan of using a lot of hotkeys, i very much prefered how it was done previously.
In v5 when pressing right during a file open/save dialog it was showing the option to “open containing folder” (what you now do by pressing contr+Enter).
In v6, its not working anymore, when pressing Right nothing happens.
interestingly it still works if i do it when pressing 2 x control, when i then enter a file and press Right it shows me the dialog to open the containging folder. So that somehow disappeared from version 5 to 6.
Version 5, here you can see after typing in the name and pressing Right, i get that menu.
Version 6, here if pressing right, nothing happens.
It is still possible when pressing right in that main search bar, which i show at the end of the video:
I see, but its something different. I prefer using keyboard and not the mouse to click any extra buttons. thats just slower.
Since Listary is all about being more efficient and productive i was surprised by removing some hotkeys and flows that previously existed, but i guess i have to get used to the Contrl+ENTER, or in the best case at one point, Contrl+Right might work as well.
Either way, thanks for looking into this! Appreciate it
