What language will be used for the extensions?
This is looking promising.
I’m not a currently a user but I’ve been lurking around, planning to replace my current “launch environment” comprised of several different applications by a single application setup.
Listary is shaping up to become a strong potential candidate, I am hoping to be able to purchase Listary 6 when it releases.
Wonder if these “website extensions” could just become a single generic “web search” extension, where much like in web browser search engines, one could just add a different sites with a “%s” search string and be done with it, instead of having to write a different extension for each individual site.
One side request: Whenever possible please allow insertion of relative paths for all local addresses to maximize portability.
Keep up the great work and videos
Yes please leave the dev of extensions for later or the community, just focus on delivering a beta version (it’s not urgent for me but I cannot wait to see what you come up with after so long over most because the actual listary is just awesome)…
I can help with the UI and other graphics work… a new logo would be great as well with new design standards and a lot of customizations possibilities.
I have a feeling that this will be the next product MS will buy!
JavaScript (Node.js) for this kind of web extensions, and C# for native extensions.
The current version already supports adding search engine URLs yourself. To show live search results or previews, you will have to create extensions. But don’t worry, there will be plenty for the common ones from the community after the release.
The current version supports relative paths in most settings.
Thanks! If you have some mocks or suggestions about UI layouts, color themes, or fonts, I’d be very happy to hear them or add them to Listary.
Pretty cool, very excited for the new version.
I can already envision a few useful plugins, like say a units converter (imperial, metric etc) or currency converter that would fetch online rates and cache them for offline use.
Keep it up!
It’s not hard to support wildcards. I’m considering adding regular expression or wildcard support in the new version. Can you provide some real-life examples that you need to use wildcards within Listary?
Hi Channing
I’m a developer myself, and often have to find files I can’t remember the exact naming of.
It might search for Config*.txt
to find ConfigSettings.txt
.
Sometimes one may want to filter a list of files by type, e.g. *.cs
, or *.jpg
etc.
Regex would also be an amazing addition, although I haven’t had to use it for finding files; more content within files. Also, I’m not sure if your user-base consists mostly of developers, but your normal pc-user probably won’t know what a regex is, let alone how to write one.
Listary supports Google-like keyword search out of the box. You can simply type config .txt
instead of Config*.txt
.
Also, just type .cs
to search for *.cs
.
That’s awesome. I just had a look at the documentation on your website again. I see it’s there in the samples, although not as explicitly.
Thank you for bringing it to my attention. Looking forward to V6
Hi Channing,
First of all, I’d like to thank you for your brilliant piece of software. After testing the free version for one day, it was clear to me that buying Listary Pro is a no-brainer. I work as a technical writer and have to deal with tons of image files using various types of software. Together with TC, Listary is the perfect time saver!
The new preview feature looks really promising! Do you plan to also include it for PDFs and other vector formats like AI, SVG, EPS and so forth, analogous to the uLister plugin for TC?
Best regards,
Marek
Hi, I do have the plan to support more file preview formats when Listary 6 becomes relatively stable.
Do you already have a timeframe for the next set of videos :)?
I’ll release more this week.
The new previews look great, you’re doing a superb job! I’m very much looking forward to version 6.
Hello!
I’ve been using the free version of Listary for a while and was about to upgrade to pro. If i buy pro now, will i have access to listary 6?
Yes, you will be able to upgrade to Listary 6 for free.
