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. Itās a lag of maybe 0.5 to 1 seconds. Itās not a huge problem, but sometimes I call up Listary and begin typing, only to find that Iām typing into a document Iām working on because Listary didnāt show up right away.
If you can fix this problem, I would really appreciate it.
You can add a Web Search to launch websites.
input web github.com:
But in this case, the url cannot contain the āhttp://ā 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.
web github.com , open http://github.com
web http://github.com , open http://github.com
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?
"C:\Program Files\Listary\Listary.exe" --log-level=0
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, thatās strange. Because when I updated from 5 to 6, Listary didnāt pick up the NAS index.
And clicking on re-index didnāt do anything. Iāll check againā¦
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.
Did you add H: to Listaryās Index settings?
Note that if youāve opened some files on H: using Listary before, they may be added to Listaryās history. They will be removed automatically the next time you search after removing H:.
Hi Channing, most of the time, Iāve got the same ālaggishā experience as @jbryan does. Itās about 0,5-1,5 seconds delay until the search input pops up, which disturbs oneās flow quite enough to be annoying.
Iāve 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 itās because of my addional added root S:? Iāll try without and reply here.
Hi,
Well, I tried the latest Listary Beta and no luck with the network drives.
Itās listed in the index menu and at the bottom it says Last updated: never.
When I click on āupdate nowā, a blue pop up appears for like 4 seconds and then it disappears.
Does that mean itās 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 doesnāt work. Iād expect to get 8 BUT 5- -3 does work. Iāve 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 itās 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 doesnāt 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. Iāll 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).
Thatās 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 (Woxās sucks).
Simply press Up arrow after double Ctrl, assuming that youāve pressed Enter to copy your previous calculator result to clipboard.
The usual flow is to click outside or press escape to close the launcher. Also Iāve checked that when you press up to see previous entry you canāt 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.
OK, Iāll consider that option.
