for some reasons, Stuttgart is not listed on the "Cities" drop-down list. i tried the "TZ ReDownload" option several times but there is no change. i also tried adding the code (317) manually in the "timezone.ini" file but it shows only the local time. any clues to why this happens?

it's the oddity of the site: Stuttgard is not on their City page (I guess you can't have every city).

It must be the same timezone as Berlin? Make Berlin the Favourite and add "Stuttgart" as the Label and tick Replace ("Rep")

And, that's right: adding 317 as the URL doesn't work... I think I check the favourites against the data. Must admit that I didn't realise that they had "hidden" cities  undecided

must be constraints of the system to have only certain number of cities. anyway, both cities are in the same time zone and therefore substituting Berlin for Stuttgart works fine. luckily it's not timeandweather.com. so thanks for the superb suggestion. thumbs up

And I'll also have a look at adding the possibility of having custom cities  cheesy

Have a look at the new version... It wont lessen the scrolling, but it does add Custom URLs to the Favourites so at least you can navigate to the right DateAndTime.com page  smiley

I've also added a new alias "tzs" that will search TimeAndDate for the required location (if it's not available in the drop-down list).

Hope that helps  undecided

BTW:
1. the drop-down list will read keypresses to highlight the next node starting with the keypress.
2. You weren't wanting more than 5 favourites??

I have a strange problem with TimeZone (TZ). The plugin does what I expect, but whenever I have TZ loaded, FARR will stay open when I launch a program. So in other words, if I type notepad and press enter, FARR will launch notepad, but still remains open, unless I remove TZ. Then FARR will do as expected, i.e. launch notepad and "disappear" huh

Any idea what could be causing this? Must be a conflict somewhere?

I've asked ecaradec about this, as I only remember it "appearing" relatively recently?

I got around this by setting the following option: [edit: just discovered that it doesn't fix it, well it only does with TimeZone.]

If the plugin don't care about the result the correct return is nothing or false. If the plugin return an integer, fscript would set the closeafterp parameter and tell FARR to not close.

Are you on Win7, and it's not working?

I'm not, but it's a script that writes to the drive: would that cause issues and require permissions?

It'd probably be good to get a standard "fix" for this sort of thing put into the Wiki (when you know if it works)  undecided
