Listary 6 new launcher mode preview

#36

There is no exact ETA, but it won’t be long.

Hello Channing,
Great Preview. I am looking forward to the Beta and I guess it will have much more functionality already :slight_smile:

Some feedback and questions to Preview2:

  • I see you have rudimentary edit capabilities, like HOME, CTRL-left, etc. added to the input box. This is something I truly missed in Listary 5. THANKS!
  • Question: would you eventually add some minimal regex functionality too?
  • the searchbar (typing while in explorer) always comes up on the lower right corner. I guess this will be configurable?
  • I see that the searchbar can come up in parallel in several explorer windows. I just have to start typing there. I perceive this a nice function, but one has to be careful about that, or suddenly there are too many of the searchbars open, I guess.
  • searchbar does not come up when I start typing on the desktop. In Listary 5 this works (although sometimes Listary 5 crashes)
  • I like the plugins! Hopefulle someone writes plugins for quickly translating a word from one language to another, get back synonyms, query a specific website with the typed word, etc…
  • By the way, the Dictionary plugin only gives result in Chinese

My first impressions are very very good!

Since he adds nodejs, then lots of people would make the plugins.

Thanks for your feedback!

Maybe. It’s not hard for me to add regex search itself, but we also have to add some extra things (like a regex: keyword) to make it work.

The launcher mode UI position will be highly configurable. There is no plan to change the UI position in Explorer.

No worries, preview version only issues.

It’s just a quick demo. You’ll have many more useful extensions once the stable version is available.

@Channing hello, bro. I have a great feature request.

I’m from Ukraine, and I use Cyrillic all the time. And it’s a huge problem to change input language each time from English to Ukrainian, and from Ukrainian to English.

So, my feature request is this…
Imagine there are two keyboard layouts… A and B
Let user bind key in language A to key in language B
For example, word COSMOS, in Ukrainian is КОСМОС, and if I forget to change the keyboard layout - it will be RJCVJC

But if I will type RJCVJC - it will find nothing.

So… in my specific situation
К = R
О = J
С = C
М = V
О = J
С = C

I have to tell Listary about it.

If they would be bound between themselves, and if search algorithms would count it, it will search needed results even if input language is wrong.
Like Google does.

It would be really great.

I’ll check if it’s possible to find the mapping between different keyboard layouts automatically from Windows.

#42

@Channing, when do you plan to release first stable version?

#43

A post was merged into an existing topic: Listary 6 启动器模式预览版

#44

When will the first stable release be released in your plan?

#45

The beta version would be as usable and stable as the stable version after a few revisions. You don’t need to wait very long to use Listary 6 in production.

The final stable version would be pretty late because we need to work on many things that are not directly visible to the user: license system, encryption, auto updating, etc.

#46

I can not waiting for it :grinning::grinning:

#47

The JavaScript extensions functionality looks great and super-simple! Based on ./Sources/Extensions, you implement a search() and a preview() function. The only action I can see is “openUrl” to launch a browser when the item is selected; I don’t know how many other actions are supported.

#48

What programming language is used for listary? C# .NET?

#49

:sunglasses:

It will cover all the common use cases.

#50

Listary <= 5: Mostly C/C++
Listary 6: C/C++ and C#

#51

I have tried 2 type of listry6 preview. A little problem still exist as follow:

the calculated result of calculator gives makes a mistake when I want to use 1*pi

for example:
I can get the correct result of sin(pi/2)=1 as displayed in your pics
however, I can only get none result of sin(pi) , or sin(1pi)=sin(1*pi)=1.22460635382238E-16, which correct result should be ZERO.
I have to admitted that this result is very close to zero, but this 1.22460635382238E-16 may interfere the result of a complex equation.

#52

Thanks. I’ll see if it’s possible to handle edge cases like this.
