While searching with Listary, it is possible to select and open one single file. Is it possible to so by selecting multiple files from the Listary Search Result List? As an example, I would like to open multiple .txt files. In Windows File Explorer, I would simply have to select 2~3 Files and press Enter. I haven’t found a way to do so with Listary. Is there an option I might have missed? ---

I use Everything 1.5 for all searches. It has all the missing functions of Listary and much more. Listary is fine for the support in Open/Save dialogs and fast switching in my file managers. ---

You can open multiple files in the new “file search window”. [6.3.0.45 beta is Live — New File Search Window, Updated File Search Engine, New User Documentation](https://discussion.listary.com/t/6-3-0-45-beta-is-live-new-file-search-window-updated-file-search-engine-new-user-documentation/8553) ---
