Let's say I have a file named book reviews of Nassim Taleb.txt.
In Launchy, the file shows up (which is great) if I search for nassim book.
However, the file does not show up if I search for nassim reviews book.
So, it works for 2 words in reverse order, but not for 3 words in reverse order.

Describe the solution you'd like
I would like the file to should show up regardless of 1) how many words I enter from its file name, and 2) the order in which I enter the words.

Describe alternatives you've considered
None.

Additional context
None.

I have been using Launchy for years, me too!
I have writings some python plugins. those work for me till now.
if you get rid of python support , this is bad news for me.

使用版本:
Launchy-3.0.6-win-amd64.zip
问题:
添加了一个目录作为检索目录,文件类型为*.*
文件中有中文名称.
用首字母能搜到结果.用中文名搜,反而没有结果.
原版launchy无此问题.
麻烦处理下,谢谢

Description
Nested folders don't work correctly for me.

1. I type a few letters of a folder's name and tab to autocomplete it.
2. No subfolders/files are displayed and typing additonal letters and pressing tab resets the path back to the primary folder.

(Also, sometimes it get's stuck on a previous selection as you can see in the first seconds of the video, i type in 'Dev' but it autocompletes to 'Tools', a folder i had just used previously)

LaunchyQT

Expected
After having a primary folder selected it should display subfolders/files and by typing additional letters, narrow down the select options to what fits the pattern.

Hi @samsonwang
Why are the download links for the 64bit version no longer there?

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I oftentimes find myself in 2 situations which can't be handled with Launchy ATM:

1. I don't want to open/run the file I just found via the normal Launchy search but want to open the explorer in the files location (its parent folder).
2. I'd like to run the file/program/... I just found as an admin

Describe the solution you'd like
2 new keyboard shortcuts to perform the mentioned actions:

1. Search for file -> Ctrl+Shift+Enter -> Open parent folder of resulting file in default file manager (Win explorer, Nautilus, ...)
2. Search for file -> Ctrl+Enter -> Run result as admin

The mentioned shortcuts are just exemplary, feel free to choose whatever you like ;)
E.g. Ctrl+E to open folder etc.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Create dedicated plugins to perform those actions:

1. Enter something like folder, of (open folder), explorer, ... -> Tab -> Search for file (all indexed files/folders should be available) -> Enter -> Open file manager
2. Enter something like admin, ad, ... -> Tab -> Search for file (all indexed files/folders should be available) -> Enter -> Open as admin

I'd personally prefer the first solution since the second one requires me (the user) to think of my "real intention" before I start typing whilst the first one allows me to search for the thing I'm looking for and decide what to do after I found it by using the correct shortcut.

根据安装指引，只需要在安装目录下创建 config\launchy.ini 文件即可转为便携模式，实际情况是，这个配置文件必须是完整的，如果创建一个空文件，或只含有少量配置的文件，启动后，会删除该文件，并在 %appdata\Launchy% 生成新的配置文件。

Describe the solution you'd like

初次安装时就想使用便携模式，应该允许初始空配置，即空文件或空目录。

Describe alternatives you've considered

或者提供命令行参数进行切换也行。

Additional context

之所以这么要求是因为使用脚本配置。

Describe the bug
在微信pc版编辑器里唤出后输入没有聚焦，直接键入字符，会输入微信编辑器

To Reproduce
1.打开微信pc版
2.确保输入焦点在微信输入框里
3.通过快捷键唤出launchy
4.键入字符
5.此时不会在launchy输入字符而是会在微信输入框输入
6.其他说明（和输入法无关，中英文均会触发bug，其他软件，如phpstrom等也出现过，但非必现）

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• Operation System: win10 1803
• Launchy Version: Launchy-3.0.8-win-amd64-with-pip

Additional context

As a longtime user of the original Launchy, it would be helpful to import my previous settings. The most important one to me is history. I've spent a long time training Launchy to recognize most programs I use with 2 or three characters. Retraining LaunchyQT would take a good deal of time.

I tried to manually edit the history.db file in the config folder (I'm using LaunchyQT in portable mode), but it is not human readable in any text editor I've used.

What it say in issue title.

(Firstly: thank you SamsonWang for reviving this project and for your awesome work it. Your Qt version works well, is fast and fluid, and is a worthy update.)

Update: hack solution: I re-scanned the catalog and the icon started showing again.

Describe the bug
When using the Default skin or Spotlight_Wide skin, the icons of other known filetypes can be seen in the Suggestions Display, but not icons of text files. (In my case, text files, i.e. ".txt files" are configured to open with Microsoft Store's unofficial version of Notepad++). (Note: the icon of text files used to show up when I first installed Launchy Qt, but then suddenly stopped showing up). SEE SCREENSHOTS below.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior: (SEE SCREENSHOTS below)

1. install Microsoft Store's unofficial version of Notepad++ (v 7.8.3 by Hauke Hasselberg)
2. configure this version of Notepad++ as the default app for opening text files (.txt) on your PC
3. install Launchy Qt (32-bit) 3.1.1
4. rescan the catalog on Launchy
5. enter some words from the filename of a text file that should be in the catalog

Expected behavior
I should see the icon for Notepad++ in the icon window in the Default skin or Spotlight_Wide skin. I don't.

Screenshots

Additional context

• I don't have admin access to my PC, so I use Launchy in "Portable Mode (USB stick)". And I use Microsoft Store's unofficial version of Notepad++ and have configured it to be the default application for text files (.txt)
• Update: I re-scanned my catalog and the icon started showing again.

An option to allow user to set launchyqt run on OS startup

For the results of CalcyPy, I would like to include thousand separators in the results, like "1,000" instead of "1000". I tried to update the setting under "Plugins" >> "CalcyPy", select "Show group separator in result" and click "OK", but the setting would not be saved and stayed unchecked.

The original Launchy can support this function and hope this can be catered as well. Thanks!

I recall in OGLaunchy, I could enter a URL or website, hit enter, and go there in the default browser. "google.com" or "www.bing.com"

Is this possible now? If not, this would solve seemingly my last need!

Launchy stopped working after installing a new skin.
It just didn't work pressing alt+space, after that I tryed reinstalling with LaunchySetup2.6B2.exe, but it crashed and asked to send the crash dumps created via sourceforge forums, Haven't been able to find the forum there and have arrived here....
Find the crash dumps here.
Great really great program, it's really difficult working when it does not work.

Best and thanks in advance.

It would be great to have also support for a Chromy plugin as of in the Launchy 2.x version

This is a regression compared to Launchy 2.6.
The icons of shortcuts (.lnk) files are not shown - unfortunately.

Could you add hot key "Control + Double " which the chinese version of 2.5 was done? I think it's really very helpful and easier to launch this App, thanks.

能否加入支持搜索Windows App （UWP）？

Are there any plans to port the old Controly plugin from the original Launchy or is there another way in LaunchyQt to index Control Panel items?

Hi,

just found your awesome project. I'm looking forward to fully switch from old Launchy to LaunchyQt.
For the moment i'm just missing the "Killy"-plugin functionality. Do you have any plans to port it to your updated version of Launchy?
And: Is this project still active?

Thanks again for your great work. :-)

It would be great to have the option to open launchy on the monitor where the mouse is.

An option would be to open launchy where the main focus is or to set the desired monitor.

Describe the bug
原版（2.5）当使用单一快捷键Caps Lock会屏蔽该键默认功能。即按Caps Lock呼出launchy，并不会触发Caps Lock本身大小写锁定（原版若需触发默认Caps Lock可通过Alt+Caps Lock切换大小写锁定），新版3.0.7按 Caps Lock 键，会弹出Launchy同时触发大小写锁定。

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. 按 Caps Lock 键
2. 此时呼出 Launchy，但同时触发了大小写锁定

Expected behavior
按 Caps Lock 键，仅呼出 Launchy，不触发大小写锁定，大小写锁定通过 Alt + Caps Lock 切换

Describe the bug
When I saw a new version was available via github notifications, I used the check update feature in v3.1.1 to see if it would apply the update automatically. Instead, it said there was no update.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Right-click the Launchy tray icon OR go to the Updates tab in the options dialog
2. Click on 'Check for updates'
3. Message says 'No update is available'

Expected behavior
Since a new version has been released, I expected that the update would either be applied, automatically downloaded, or a link provided to manually download it.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• Operation System: Windows 10 v1909 (64-bit)
• Launchy Version: 3.1.1

• cmake build completely unusable: it requires WinExtras, but the required X11Extras not. In addition, cmake tries to build windows specific plugins: Runner, Tasky, UWPApp, Verby. SKINS_PATH, PLUGINS_PATH, PLATFORMS_PATH undefined. The src/Launchy/Linux/IconProviderLinux.cpp file requires QDir: incomplete type ‘QDir’ used in nested name specifier
• qmake build: liblaunchy.so and libpluginpy.so not exists: these libs are renamed to libLaunchy.so and libPluginPy.so. The version of python hardcoded in the .pro file. And finally ld fails: LaunchyWidget.cpp:(.text+0xa02d): undefined reference to `launchy::runProgram(QString const&, QString const&, bool)'

现在用户数据保存在C:\Users\用户名\AppData\Roaming\Launchy
有没有可能做成便携版，让用户数据保存在程序目录下的一个子目录里？

希望软件增加打开文件所在目录的功能,这样更方便,更快捷.谢谢

All my icons in LaunchyQT looks like screeshots below and I don't know why...

• Operation System: Windows 10 1803(17134.706)
• Launchy Version: 3.0.8

Additional context

there's the same problem in the old launchy, the icon border is white, though

Thanks for reviving the development on this utility.

The original version allowed the command line option "/profile [Name]", where the "[Name]" is a subdirectory under the "profiles" directory where Launchy.exe resides.

For example, "launchy.exe /profile X1" would use the configuration files here:
Launchy
profiles
X1
launchy.db
launchy.ini
history.db

This would help me in backing up and synchronizing a portable installation of Launchy, yet keep the configurations separate for each machine where I run it.

It is included in Launch 2.6 Weby plugin: each custom search can have a specific icon

Hi, I have shortcuts for putty where I add the host to connect and template to use behind the exe. When I start the shortcut directly I get what I want but when I start it trough LaunchyQt it will not use the variables behind the exe. Is there a solution for or is this even a bug?

Describe the bug
When calculating results with decimals and minus results, the results will not include decimals.

• For example 25-67.8 gives -42 instead of -42.8.
• If the result is positive, no issue is found. 67.8-25 gives 42.8.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open LaunchyQT
2. Enter a calculation with decimals and minus results
3. The result ignores decimals

Expected behavior
Negative results should include decimals

现在版本的用户数据路径在 C:\Users\XXXXX\AppData\Roaming\Launchy 下。
能否自定义这个路径，比如我喜欢把用户数据放在程序路径的data目录下
这样做能实现两个好处：

1. 便携化
2. 放在C盘，如果C盘重装系统，用户数据就没了。

I can't launch Windows Store apps, while they are available in regular Windows Start menu.

Describe the solution you'd like
Windows Store apps should be supported just as any link / app

Additional context
More and more apps are installed with Windows Store, and it would be great to have a convenient way to have them all available in Launchy without messing with such tricks as described in alternatives.
Thanks

Let's say a file is named (disregard the quotations): "12345-red-gold.pdf"
If I search for "123" (without quotations) in Launchy 3.1.1, the file suggestion pops up. However, if I search for "red gold" or "123 red gold", nothing pops up.
(It does work if I search for "red-gold", but it doesn't work if I search for "red gold")

Describe the solution you'd like
When I search for "red gold", this file should be suggested by Launchy.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Nothing.

Additional context
Nothing.
