I am _loving_ the beta right now. However, I do have a complaint. There seems to be a noticeable lag between when I press my hotkey (Alt+Space) and Listary showing up. It’s a lag of maybe 0.5 to 1 seconds. It’s not a huge problem, but sometimes I call up Listary and begin typing, only to find that I’m typing into a document I’m working on because Listary didn’t show up right away.

If you can fix this problem, I would really appreciate it.

You can add a **Web Search** to launch websites.

 ![image](https://discussion.listary.com/uploads/default/original/2X/b/b660d8cea9a96c87fe7df798acf8d161b8a263d7.png)

input `web github.com`:

But in this case, the url cannot contain the ‘http://’ part of the prefix.

Web Search

- Url : `http://{query}`  
input `web github.com` , open `http://github.com`  
input `web http://github.com` , **err!**

- Url : `https://{query}`  
input `web github.com` , open `https://github.com`  
input `web http://github.com` , **err!**

* * *

The above method will automatically open with the default browser, but not for all situations. You can add a command to open any URL using the specified browser.

- Input `web github.com` , open `http://github.com`
- Input `web http://github.com` , open `http://github.com`
- Input `web https://github.com` , open `https://github.com`

Thanks for the suggestion. Multiple selection support has been planned for version 6.1.

Thank you for your feedback.

Could you share the log file to help me address the issue?

1. Exit Listary.
2. Run Listary with parameters via the command line. Change the path if you’ve changed the installation folder:  
`"C:\Program Files\Listary\Listary.exe" --log-level=0`
3. Activate Listary with Alt+Space, the lag should happen as you described. Send the following file to [support@listary.com](mailto:support@listary.com) or upload it here:  
`C:\Users\<Your user name>\AppData\Roaming\Listary\UserProfile\Cache\<Your computer name>\ListaryLog.txt`

Yes PLEASE PLEASE !

Its odd because sometimes Listary works in the beginning with Word 2003, and then at some point just stops!

Thanks heaps for having a look into this!

Okay, that’s strange. Because when I updated from 5 to 6, Listary didn’t pick up the NAS index.  
And clicking on re-index didn’t do anything. I’ll check again…

I used Google Drive as drive H. I changed the drive letter to drive G. The listary still holds the index for drive H and appears in the search results. Rebuild does not disappear.

</div>

Did you add H: to Listary’s Index settings?

Note that if you’ve opened some files on H: using Listary before, they may be added to Listary’s history. They will be removed automatically _the next time you search_ after removing H:.

Hi Channing, most of the time, I’ve got the same “laggish” experience as @jbryan does. It’s about 0,5-1,5 seconds delay until the search input pops up, which disturbs one’s flow quite enough to be annoying.

I’ve enabled the debug log as you suggested, but the only relevant entries are:

```
2019-02-26 21:35:44.983 [5][Error] [?] FileDB root not added via FileDBInit!
2019-02-26 21:35:44.983 [5][Error] [?] First user visible root [S:] 

```

Maybe it’s because of my addional added root S:? I’ll try without and reply here.

</div>

Hi,

1. Logging doesn’t seem to be enabled on your system. It should output _hundreds of entries_ when working. Make sure you’re using **6.0.2.12** and try again.
2. The 2 error entries about S: are ignorable. They’re unlikely to be the cause of the delay.

Well, I tried the latest Listary Beta and no luck with the network drives.  
It’s listed in the index menu and at the bottom it says Last updated: never.  
When I click on “update now”, a blue pop up appears for like 4 seconds and then it disappears.  
Does that mean it’s doing something in the background?

EDIT: ahhh, it worked. It took some time and was doing stuff in the background. Maybe some progress indication would be great.

@Channing you can just replace `,` -\> `.` before feeding it into calculator.

Also unfortunately something like: `5--3` doesn’t work. I’d expect to get `8` BUT `5- -3` does work. I’ve had to patch Wox to make a simple fix of `input.Replace("--", "- -");` to make this work. Could you do the same?  
Reason is that on laptop it’s very easy to press `--` but hard to press `+` as it requires shift key so using `--` is a very convenient hack. Thanks for all your work!

Listary 6 doesn’t seem to be searching in lists such as `Task Manager > Details` or `Windows Services` list. Is there a plan to bring this back?

Hi,

`,` has already been supported for specific cultures. `--` is a really rare need. I’ll consider it.

There is no plan to bring Task Manager list search back at the moment, but there will be alternatives (e.g. process management extension).

That’s really sad. After searching for files, searching lists (Task Manager, Services, etc) was the second most important feature.

Listary really needs a `ctrl-z` support. This is especially evident when using calculator. You type some complex formula, remember the answer, start doing something else, want to re-check what the answer was: poof, no way to get this info back from Listary. Launchy has a great `ctrl-z` implementation (Wox’s sucks).

Simply press Up arrow after double Ctrl, assuming that you’ve pressed Enter to copy your previous calculator result to clipboard.

</div>

The usual flow is to click outside or press escape to close the launcher. Also I’ve checked that when you press up to see previous entry you can’t `ctrl+z` it, it only works while editing for the first time before `enter`. This is essential when doing calculations where you are testing several assumptions and continuously editing, undoing, changing the formula.
