Testing beta

daroc · October 19, 2012, 10:30pm

I have problems testing Listary 4 beta.

In explorer and open/save-as dialog, listary is not searching in subfolders. It only shows files from current directory. I have Everything 1.2.1.371

In Directory Opus, standard Opus find-as-you-type toolbar at bottom appears, instead of Listary. If I use hotkey to bring Listary search and type part of a file name, it shows “no items match your search”.

I use default Listary 4 beta configuration, no changes were made.
Anyone have same issues?

This is really weird. I just tested it again on an absolutely clean Windows 7 machine and could not reproduce the bug. I’ll see if there are some other reports about the same issue.

Hello,
I bought Listary Pro today from BitsDuJour. It is a great software. I am also trying Listary 4 beta right now but i have exactly same problem above.

In Directory Opus, standard Opus find-as-you-type toolbar at bottom appears, instead of Listary. If I use hotkey to bring Listary search and type part of a file name, it shows “no items match your search”.

I also tried to disable Opus built-in find-as-you-type feature but this time when i start to type something in DO lister, nothing happens.

Best Regards

@0xt1n
I’m sorry that you have to press the hotkey to bring up Listary in DOpus. This is a designed behavior of the current version.

About the “no items match your search”:
You need to have Everything installed and running.

FYI, here are some features that works perfectly with DOpus (using Listary 3.51):

1. After any open/save file dialog pops up, you can press Ctrl + G to jump to the folder you're viewing in DOpus directly. 2. If you switch from any file dialog to DOpus, do some work, jump to a new folder and then switch back to the file dialog, Listary will let the dialog open your working folder in DOpus automatically. 3. Press your mouse middle button or the hot key Win + W, Listary will show up with all your important and recent opened folders. 4. And many more...

Dear Channing,

Thank you for your useful tips. I also fixed “no items match your search” problem.

Unlike the Listary 3.51, i can not put the Listary Toolbar in a custom position by pixels in Listary 4 beta. Are you going to add this feature to Listary 4 also?

If you solved a problem you mentioned, share steps you made so other people know how to deal with it.

@daroc

Could you please try if Everything integration works in Windows Explorer?

daroc · October 21, 2012, 4:04am

Actually, how do I do that?

Channing · October 21, 2012, 4:09am

Open C:\ in Explorer, then type “system32”, see if the results contain the actual C:\Windows\System32 folder.

daroc · October 21, 2012, 4:15am

Yes, it does work.
And now I tried in Directory Opus and both, searching in current folder and in all subfolders (via everything) works ok. :o

daroc · October 21, 2012, 3:03pm

Oh, I didn’t notice this before - it works in DOpus, but shows only “path” part, there’s not “list” part (files in the current directory).

Yes.

Again, I have the same issue. Listary worked fine just yesterday, and today, before I overwritten any files with new version) it stopped working.
In Explorer I hit Ctrl+W and Listary searches only in current directory and favorites. Search Everything results are not included. When I do the same in Directory Opus, only favorites are searched.

Currently I’m using 4.00.1063.

Channing · November 30, 2012, 5:57am

Please make sure Everything is working well in background
Please make sure Options - Integration - Use Everything to search subfolders is checked.

If it still doesn’t work, please wait patiently for the next beta release. I’ll implement my own disk search in it.

daroc · November 30, 2012, 6:05am

Yes, it’s working in the background.
Yes, it’s enabled.

I even tried to delete UserData folder so I started with new configuration.

Channing · November 30, 2012, 6:29am

@daroc

If you search in Everything window directly, does it work?

daroc · November 30, 2012, 6:51am

When searching in SE window, there’s no problem at all.

Edit: Also, I didn’t reinstall SE, change its path etc.

Today this beta works correct in both Explorer and Directory Opus. :doh:

This is what I do:

I normally use the latest stable version so I right click Listary tray icon, click Exit.
Run Listary.exe from the ListaryPortable folder.

3a. In Explorer - just type some name to search in subfolders.

3b. In Directory Opus - hit Win+S (my hotkey for show Listary toolbar) and type some name to search in subfolders.

And this is exactly what I did last time (when Listary searched only in favorites).

I have no idea what changed since last time I tried it. I didn’t reinstall Search Everything and didn’t change anything in Listary. (Oh, maybe except changing Win+W to Win+S :?

But even if that changed anything, when Listary didn’t work I renamed UserData folder to UserData_ to make Listary create new configuration files. Now - when Listary started working - I deleted current UserData folder and restored configuration saved in UserData_, ie. the old one that didn’t work. And Listary still works ok, so it must be something else than changing shortcut.)
