Listary 6 Beta 🎉

I’ve used Listary 5 and switched to Listary 6 Beta as soon as it became available. And for all the years I’ve never had any issues with it running on Windows 7 and Windows 10. And I’m on Win 10 21H2 right now. Point is - if you (not you, Drakonas, specifically, but users that are experiencing issues :slight_smile: ) have issues with Listary 6 it’s all down to your installation of Windows or the software that you are using along with it.

Please check if you have Listary integration enabled with the file browser of your choice. Go to Listary’s Options > Features > Integration, select the app that you are using and check “Enable Listary” checkbox. I’ve just checked on my setup (I’m using Directory Opus) and if checkmark is not enabled Ctrl+G functionality is not available, naturally. Restart both Listary and file browser, after changing this option, just for a good measure.

It works, forget about the shortcut and use the menu instead

Sorry, I can’t and I won’t forget about the shortcut. That shortcut helps me to keep my sanity during the working day! :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Even though development has stopped the author still has tried to sell the application with special promotional discount on bitsdujour several times.
And I think the author will keep on doing this in 2022 until nobody will purchase.

Well after months of bugs in Listary 6 and serious indexing bugs in Listary 5 (see my post history…), looks like Fluent Search is the best replacement: much more customizable (made it into a Listary clone for my uses!) and it properly indexes NAS SMB shares, network drives, and is frankly a pleasure to see bugs fixed.

Thanks to @Prowhiz for making the Loom videos. The open prompt <-> File Explorer feature is killer. One issue is Fluent Search doesn’t have a great database of all its features: had no idea it had that!

I will say, Fluent Search probably needs 1-2 more stable releases, but after ~30 minutes of tweaking, it’s so incredibly close and already my daily driver.

Let’s hope Listary’s dev returns alive so he may also address all the bugs & missing feature.

@ikjadoon did you tried Everything search?
I am using Everything for index all my files (network & local drives) and listary 6 beta for launch programs and plugins (calc, cmd as admin, integration with explorer etc).
For me this combo is superb.
I have tried Fluent but it was to slow for me and eat to much resources.

Unfortunately, I’m looking to search indexed files within the launcher. :frowning: I had tried Everything, but it’s a bit tough for my use-case: the ordering of files, the priorities, the sizes & UI, etc. However, I will keep it bookmarked and spend more time getting the prioritization correct. Thank you for the recommendation.

Everything is blazing fast.

Fluent Search does still feel a bit laggy, agreed, on first use & after rebooting. However, after subsequent, it seems to get fast, though I am on a somewhat high-end system (which makes the early slowdowns even more weird): i7-12700K CPU, 32GB DDR5-6000, and a 1 TB Samsung 970 EVO Plus.

I’m hopeful the next updates will bring FS back to Listary-like speed; some major beta updates (current stable is ~2 month old) and they’ve fixed a few bugs / annoyances I had with Listary (example from yesterday).

I did need to make a number tweaks to speed up the performance & the UI to make it much more streamlined: turned off animations, turned off tags & in-app search, etc. The default FS settings has delays even on a system like mine :sob:

i think u should give another try, its the version 0.9.91.31, check which one u used, but between yours and the new, there is a lot of improvement :slight_smile:

there were a bug of FS, introducing lags
now with new build, no more lags.
And yes, there are always some bugs with thousand reparator, but i think the previous update fixed that (i saw the dev answer u very fast, and the next build fix that! i never seen a dev like him, fixing things so quicky)

ok i leave the chat,
nobody is here to moderate the content

was nice to talk with all of u

bye
