Hi, this is my first time using Listary. So glad I found it - great programme.

One question; is it possible to move the database location for the index to a Ramdisk (without using a hard-link)?

I’ve checked settings but can’t find an option for this.

Hi, Listary itself keeps the index in ram, and only read/write the index file when you start/close it. So it’s not necessary to move the index file to a ramdisk manually.

Ah, so the db file isn’t written to at all during operation. That’s great - very innovative!
