Please reconsider releasing a portable version. ---

Without the background service with enhanced rights, there is no actual index. ---

When started with elevated rights it should be no problem for the scanner. I also really need a portable version. Installing Software is so oldschool!!! I hate installing software. In 99.9% of the time it just makes no sense and is just annoying. ---

It makes sense in this case. It’s much more annoying to acknowledge the UAC for each Listary start. Without a background service, the index must be updated even when you run the client with enhanced rights. ---

There is no portable version for Listary 6? I have been staying on v5 until 6 matures a bit. @Channing is there any chance this will be fixed in the future? I rely on portable software heavily and portability is huge dealbreaker for v6. ---

Could it be made possible to at least keep the application portable for the auto-directory-switching for dialog boxes and for the pop-up-menu? When using the user want’s to use the other function(s) like the search-indexed function, the application then informs the user it needs to install component(s) and then installs them. ---

It does not for everyone. I do not care about UAC. Also UAC can be automated. ---

He can’t without having an elevated process running. That’s a useless idea to overcome the requirement for admin rights.
