Since recently (v17.00.0000) XYplorer has a new feature called Live Filter, which is activated/deactivated in XYplorer via Window\>Show Live Filter Box. This feature is very handy, so mostly I want to have Live Filter Box visible in XYplorer at all times.

I am using Listary (portable and not pro) mostly only for easily switching File Dialogs (by having Listary running and then switching between a File Dialog and XYplorer).

As far as I can tell, when Live Filter Box is visible in XYplorer, the Listary’s support of it fails. As soon as Live Filter Box is made invisible (by Ctrl-F3), Listary’s support again works as expected. I have tried this with the following Listary versions:

4.20.1553  
5.00.2334  
5.00.2381

There is also a short thread about this in XYplorer forum, but I do not think it will be of much help:

[https://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=16089](https://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=16089)

Maybe there is a chance of handling this. When not, then the workaround with switching Live Filter Box off still remains.
