Question regarding Everything in Listary

[kazzybash]

hi,

first of all I want to apologize for asking the following question here, but the Listary dev (sadly enough) apparently has stopped working on his great piece of software a long time ago. I am using Listary pro 5. There used to be a possibility to have Listary use Everything's database in the past. I cannot find this possibility any longer.

Is anyone here using Listary pro 5 and knowing how to make Listary use Everything's database? I am using the last version of Everything64 1.5 alpha (but on OS level totally renamed to Everything).

Thanks in advance, kind regards, Kazzy

Are you sure about that?
Listary has it's own file-indexing tool running (and that uses similar mechanisms to Everything).

Listary builds its own database with its service.
There is no realationship to Everything at all.

hi guys,

indeed, Everything uses it's own database (which has a speed comparable to Everything). Apart from that I am one hundred percent sure that there used to be a tickbox in which one could indicate to use either the native database or the Everything database.

Anyhow, this option is no longer available apparently. I can't find it and it does not ring a bell with both of you, so it's probably been dropped.

Thanks a lot to both of you for responding to my question. Regards, Kazzy

FWIW: Long time ago (2013), there used to be Everything support in Listary:
So you were right!

That was in version 4 of Listary which is no longer relevant since many years.
Current version is 5.x and the beta is at version 6.

And you are right too: no longer in the "current" version

Just out of curiosity, what functions does listary provide that everything does not?

Jump to current file manager path in Open/Save dialogs.
Jump fast to any path in the file manager if Listary is executed from inside of its window.

Both function can be replaced with Quick Switch and Jump to Folders AHK scripts
from NotNull here in the forum.

Listary does its job without any further effort from the user
so I still let it run in the background.
