"Find as you type" in ADUC (Active Directory Users and Computers) mmc console

$
0
0
I have multiple columns in my ADUC window and I'd like Listary to search all of them. For instance, I have a view of computers in my domain with 'Name' and 'Description'. Listary will find in the 'Name' column, but I would like to find in the 'Description' column as well. Is this possible to add? Is there some limitation to what can be searched in a window?

Directory Opus support

I'm using Directory Opus 10.0.3.0 (latest stable version) and when I hit "show listary toolbar" hotkey in DOpus lister, Listary toolbar shows up, but when I type something in the field it only searches recent locations. I would like it to search files and folders names in current directory too, like Listary does in windows explorer.

How to avoid renaming file in "Save file" dialogs?

$
0

One minor inconvenience for me is when saving files. Say I have a favorite menu item called "Favorite" and want to get there. So I press Win+W, begin typing "Fa..." Whoops, there is a file in current folder whose name starts with F. So it was selected and its name replaced my file's name. Is there a way to avoid this problem?

Updating portable version

$
0
0
Hi,

I have a license for Listary Pro and I use the portable version. When the software is updated, I download the .ZIP file from your download page. This .ZIP archive contains a file called Config.xml with 0 bytes. It's very easy to make a mistake and copy this file on top of your existing configuration file. It happened to me, but I had a backup of this file. If you don't have a backup, you can start configuring Listary all over again.

Question:
Is it possible that you remove Config.xml from the archive?
Or can you add a second archive with the portable version to your download page for people who upgrade?
This version is without the 0 byte Config.xml file.

Thanks in advance for your answer.

How do I make Listary work with XYplorer?

$
0

I've just found out about Listary and installed the portable version on my (Win XP-Home +SP3) computer. Unfortunately I don't understand your Options ... General dialog about integration. I have XYplorer installed in "C:\Program Files\XYplorer\explorer.exe". What do I actually have to enter in the "Path:" and "Parameter:" boxes to get integration to work? Also, what does "Use %1 in parameter for the path. Do not forget quotes" mean?
Also, under Options ... Compatibility it says for XYplorer "Edit [Instance: 10]". What does this mean and what do I have to do?
Sorry for being a complete novice on this. Thanks,
Bob

Remove or move "Add Here" + turn off auto menu pop-up

$

I'm using Listary Pro 3.51.776, Win7 64 SP1. I have 2 questions.

1) I've got Favorites arranged in submenus, like "Pictures"->"Mine"->"Summer", etc. When I start typing "Pic..." in the Listary toolbar (Win-W) the Favorites list drops down with "Pictures" highlighted. I hit Enter and the "Pictures" submenu opens up with "Mine" being the first in the list. I'd like to simply hit Enter to select "Mine", but when I hit enter "Add Here" gets selected. Can I either remove the "Add Here" option or move it to the bottom of the list so that I could quickly get through first entries in submenus just by hitting Enter repeatedly? I don't really use "Add Here", as I've got my Favorites set up.

2) When I move my mouse over one of the three buttons in the toolbar (Favorites, Recent, Options) the relevant menu pops up instantly which I find a bit intrusive. Is there an option to turn off this auto pop-up behavior so that I can open the menu the old-fashioned way, by clicking on the button?

Thanks.

List order

$
0

I don't get the way Listary sort items in list. Look at the screen I attached. After typing "mic" I would suppose Listary to select first file starting with "mic" (like windows explorer would originally do) and display a list of items sorted by name - first files whose names start with "mic", then other files containing "mic". And this is not what Listary do. Maybe it makes sense but for now it looks like a bug to me.

The same issue occurs in other applications (not file managers) too.

RegExp

$
0
0
In this question in FAQ, there's an example of RegExp. It is :.*\d{2}
Does it mean that Listary by default (or always?) use non greedy search? In other case this regexp would never match any string as any digits at the end would be consumed by .*
If this is true, Listary regexp implementation is different from described in "The 30 Minute Regex Tutorial" which in my opinion should be pointed out in the answer.

Default File Manager Setting

$

I am using XYplorer as my default file manager. In trying to set this up I have placed C:\Program Files\XYplorer\XYplorer.exe in the path line/box, no quotes.  What should go in the Parameter line/box?
I'm not sure what it means by "...Use %1 in parameter for the path. Do not forget quotes."

I am more of a user than a coder and don't have a real handle on variables.  I think that is what %1 is??

Listary is making opening and saving files so much easier now.  Wish I had found it a long time ago.
Thanks for a great program.

The Minutia of the Multiples

$

Using the "find as you type" approach,  Listary conveniently highlights/focuses the current item in the listview (targed by <Up>/<Down>) - but is it possible
to highlight/select more than one?



For instance, typing .mp3 obviously brings up all the mp3's in a
listview, but I can only highlight one at a time - if I want to delete
(for example) all of them, I need to use other means of selecting them
en masse.  Maybe holding down the <Ctrl> key could instigate a
soft-lock on a particular highlight allowing one to go on to the next -
or maybe using the <Left>/<Right> keys (as they don't appear
to be used anyway).



Technically, this could be incorporated into the custom commands as
well, wherein instead of being limited to a %file% (singular) selection,
one could have a %files% (multiple) variable available.



Just an idea. :)



And, while I'm at it, I should add that when a system DPI above 100% is
used (such as "medium" - 125%), the overlap of the listview on the toolbar
is a bit annoying for lower-case font-descender display.  If the
window overlap is there as a purely aesthetic notion, perhaps shifting it down a
few pixels wouldn't hurt?  (Being a big fan of the earlier Listary versions - namely the less-posh "2.x" builds - this wasn't an issue).

(Yeah, using .gpq as an extension is an extreme example, but you get the idea.)

Icon highlighting on desktop as you type

$
0

I could swear that when I first started using Listary, that as you typed, that the highlighted item in the results list was also selected on the desktop.
Now it does not seem to be.
Also(maybe because of this???) when I hit the selected file is no longer launched.
Any ideas???

Always open new window

Is it possible to make Listary always open new window of Directory Opus or Explorer when choosing favorite item from menu? Of course in open/save-as dialog this is best behavior, but when browsing - always open new window.

Favorite/File(executable), how to specify working directory?

$
0
0
I have some executable files I'd like to add to favorite, however, when I start them from listary's popup menu, their working directories were not set to where the executable files because these executables cannot load files expected in the same directories as the executables.

In Windows shortcut properties dialog, there is a "Start in" text box where I can specify the working directory for the executable, but listary's favorite details only have "Path" for the executable, is there any way I can set the executable's working directory?

Thanks.

some explorer related features suddenly stop working

$

I am using Listary portable (version 3.51.819) on a Windows XP Pro SP3 (32bit). Last week I installed Listary and it was working very well, but all the sudden some features stop working:
1. "Double click in empty area" does not active Listary anymore (although I did enable "Double click" in "Keyboard and Mouse";
2. The Global "Show popup menu" hotkey still brings up Listary menu, however, it seems that Listary has totally detached from any currently running explorer:
a. clicking on any folder from Listary's popup menu (either under Favorite or Recent) does not switch current running explorer to that folder (seems like nothing happens after clicking a folder);
b. "Currently Opened Folders" always shows "None";
c. Any current folder related Smart command, like "Command Prompt", runs from Listary's own folder, not from current folder of focused explorer;
d. When typing in explorer, the quick filter list does not popup and I am stuck in explorer's own type-and-find feature.

Note that if there's no explorer running, click on a folder from popup menu does bring up a explorer with correct folder, however, this new explorer is still detached from Listary ("Double click" does not work, cannot switch folders, no filter list, etc.)

Switching directory in Listary's toolbar still works for Open/Save file dialog.

It could be some options I changed but I went through Listary's "Options" and did not find what option(s) I changed can affect this issue.

I also tried exit Listary, kill explorer, reboot system, no lucks.

On the other hand, all my Windows 7 systems (all 64bit) are working without this issue.

Any ideas? Thanks.

(UNC) Copying network path

When trying to copy the path of the directory it lists the path character (f.e. G:\Files or H:\Files). But how can you copy the real path //server name/Files in Listary? Is it possible?

Edit: I found "Copy Path" but maybe it would be a nice feature for Listary?

[Find as you type] Select relevant entries and copy to program

Is there a way to type a few characters and have those results selected by pressing a hotkey, for easy copy and paste tasks.

For example: Use WinKey+W shortcut, start typing .csv and get the following results
File.csv
File2.csv
File3.csv

Is there a way to have all of those files selected/highlighted and be able to copy those paths? (similar to Shift+Right Click)

double-click on any part of the empty area in Explorer doesn't work anymore...

$

Hi,
I presently used Listary on my Netbook (XP-SP3) for few months now and since a couple of days I'm unable to access the pop-menu by double-clicking on an empty part of the Desktop. I first tried to reintall (the set-up release) and secondly downloaded the last release. But unfortunately, theese two tries didn't solve the problem.

Lastly, I saved the config.xml before deleting it and relaunch Listary top see if I recovered that fonction: with a brand new config.xml, the double-click opens the pop-menu!

So, it 's probably due to an element in the config.ml I previouly used. As I don't want to loose all my favorites I would know where in my config.xml I can look to solve this problem...

Thanks a lot for any help,

Monitor last opened folder of FreeCommander

Hi!

I'd like to use Listary along with FreeCommander.

"Find as you type" and setting FreeCommander as the default file manager in Listary works, but I can't get it to monitor FreeCommander's last opened folders. Also opening a folder from the Listary context menu in FreeCommander (e.g. Recent > [Folder]) does not seem to work - nothing happens.

Tried Listary 4 Beta and FreCommander 2009/XE.

Any ideas? Thanks!

unable to add new program to Listary

I had been using Listary basic for some time but had to re-install my system. I now find that I cannot add the writer and calc programs in Libre Office to Listary. I tried to add the exe files in options but they added but then disappeared after I saved them. I also have been unable to use the "Add Application to support widget" as when I try to add the application the OK button is greyed out.
