Hoooooo Weeee! The updates are comin’ in sloooow. C’mon Channing! We’re all waitin’ on ya! 
You should join the gitter channel for the app so we may continue discussing there, I think we are already vastly out of topic here. 
And I completely agree, nothing beats listary for what you described!
I’m already working on adding custom score support, first for folders, then for extensions. Please provide suggestions, thanks!
I’m working on it

Please consider including “history” as a revelant ranking mechanism. For example, if I just opened the file, then include boost it’s ranking.
I’m not saying you should clone exactly what Find and Run Robot does, but seriously this is what keeps me from leaving it. The intelligent ranking means you can find stuff you commonly access much faster.
In addition, maybe an option to display the last “X” number of selected items. This would mean a quick access to reopen something you closed.
Here’s a few images to explain how find and run robot does it, and as it’s one of the best launchers I’ve found, perhaps it will give you some ideas to improve the launcher aspect of listary that makes this so powerful.
Here are some images to better walkthrough what I’m saying so you don’t have to go install.
Search folders (with point ranking to boost)
Recently accessed history boosts the score as well
certain patterns get boosted or excluded in case of -9999
The different ranking methodologies you can apply/exclude. They provide a really solid option
Immediate view of launcher when triggering
**example of intelligent ranking at work based on history file types etc. **
comparison to results from listary
2nd page of results, comparison to show all exe files I don’t really care about still up at top of results
lastly, example of alias ranking too low, despite explicit match to the keyboard
Sorry for the length, but I figured it would be better explain so you could see the scoring methodology that has made one of the most well known launchers so successful. Applying some of this methodology might improve the results coming back from Listary
bug report
Reviewing listary log file I noticed this occurring as I was working. Thought I’d report in case something relevant to your work on the beta version.
Thank you very much for the detailed explanation! I’m confident that the planned new features of Listary would make huge improvements to result sorting in the examples you gave.
Just fixed this one. Now user defined keywords are on top.
Thanks for reporting. Some very minor issues. You can ignore them safely.
There are some bugs with exclusion filters (I think this also happens with the latest version 4). Check out the attached images… does it make sense that the excluded path and jpg should not be showing up? It looks like maybe the exclusion filters work for the files, but not the path.
The bottom result should be excluded:
It’s also interesting that a file shows up in the path search:
Go to Listary Options - History, and click Clean History. It should be OK after that.
Thank you so much! That worked.
I have a request. The Index: Exclude Drive or Folder feature uses the Browse for Folder dialog, which is appropriate, but it is also annoying to have to navigate to a deeply buried directory. I would like to be able to paste a path from the clipboard (perhaps by hitting F2 or clicking on existing entries).
Thank you!
Sure, there will be tweaks for that.
Upgraded from 2320 to 2328 and now it’s working. Great! Been waiting for this feature for a long time
It’ll be extremely valuable when it would be possible to allow the mouse wheel to scroll through the directory folders: For now it only seems possible to click on the little arrows at the edges of the directory listing to scroll through (long) directories:
Or am I doing sth. wrong?
Thanks for your suggestion. Just added to my to-do list.

HI Channing. I see Listary 5 has been released but I don’t see the feature to export your Menu favourites. I know you did mention in November 2015 that it would be available soon. Is this something you’re still considering? Thank you for a great program.
Hi, this feature will be added, but it hasn’t been completed yet.
