This version will overwrite your existing Listary 5 installation. If you want to revert back to Listary 5, simply uninstall the beta, and install Listary 5. All your settings will be kept.
If the UI can’t display correctly, it’s likely that you’ve changed DPI setting for Listary 5 before. Clear all settings.
Listary 6 Beta 1
This is the first beta of Listary 6. It’s completely rewritten from scratch and takes much longer than expected, but it’s well worth the wait.
Some of the major new features:
New user interface
Elegant and effective, beauty in every pixel and color.
Search and sorting algorithm
Listary is much smarter now. It learns your habits. There is no need to distinguish between apps and folders/files, just type what you need.
Fuzzy matching is also enabled automatically for your frequently used folders and files.
Extensions
Still under construction, you’ll be able to create and share your own extensions soon.
Beta is packed with a Calculator extension. You can type math expression directly to get the result.
Web search with live suggestions
Try g for Google or wiki for Wikipedia. Listary will show search suggestions from that site.
File search engine
One of the fastest desktop file search engines becomes even faster, with 30% search speed and 200% index rebuilding speed improvements.
It’s also more customizable. You can config your own folder and file name (using regex) sorting rules.
Preview
Options UI
Reorganized. Should make your life a little easier.
