Hi,

This is my third farr plugin. This time for gmail (again modified from gtasks)
It allows you look at your inbox and to send emails in the popup window of FARR.

One of the advantages of a mail plugin(s) is that you can use it in a popup window
while you are looking at another webpage in you browser.

FARR Plugin: FProcs - v1.01.01 - June 11, 2011

This is a plugin for my Find and Run Robot program.

Download from: http://www.donationcoder....s/FarrProcs/FarrProcs.zip

This plugin is triggered by default with: fprocs

It shows a list of running processes -- with top-level windows (like you see with alt+tab) at the top of the list.

Filter the list and hit enter or select any item to switch to that active window.

Or right-click for more options including the option to terminate the process.

See advanced options for the plugin to tell fprocs to always switch to an application if it is already running, no matter how it is launched.

Make web search in current opened browser - Farr_Browser_Launcher by lanux128

I use Opera as my main browser, but I also need Firefox and Chrome. They all have their strong and week points.

I make, for example, a Google search using "g query" syntax.

Here comes my question: how can I make my web search in the current opened browser and not in the default one?
And if I have all 3 (or only 2) browsers opened, could I specify a preferred order of them?

Maybe this could be doable already, but I have no idea how.
It is annoying to work in Firefox and hitting "g whatever" makes me wait until Opera launches etc...

Thanks!

Note: the answer was offered by lanux128 in the form of Farr_Browser_Launcher version 1 and version 2.

FARR Plugin: PopQuotes - Search quote/fortune files

I've finally gotten around to writing a FARR plugin that can read fortune and quotes files (same formats and configuration used in my Popup Wisdom program), and search them for keywords.

The main point of this plugin is to let you search many thousands of quotes to find ones that mention certain words, so you can past them in emails or whatever.

You could also use it with your own custom text files (one item per line).

FARR Plugin: TinyEV (Everything integration)

Heya. I wrote a little (literally) FARR plugin for Voidtools' Everything content search engine, since the other one was somewhat sluggish and large. This one, on the other hand, seems to be quite snappy and small (less than 16 KiB! cheesy

), hence the name.

However, it doesn't come with a built-in settings dialog (oh no!), so if you want to change the only currently available setting, the scoring mode, you'll have to hand-edit an .ini file. I'm sure you'll cope. smiley

Also, this does not require the es.exe shell; just a running Everything instance.

Any comments, bug reports and suggestions are welcome, however I may be off on vacation for a week or so.

An Extremely Simple Gmail Tasks Plugin

So I just discovered the Gmail Tasks app and have fallen in love. I know, I know, there's the Remember The Milk plugin, which is fantastic, but I wanted something simpler, and Gmail Tasks is perfect.

Initially, I set up an alias to send me there, but I hated having to press "Enter" to select the result that launched the htmlview, so I poked around, discovered the FScript plugin, and made a very simple plugin. Enjoy!

New FARR plugin : FFTab allow to switch firefox tab

I'm please to show my new little baby project. FFTab. FFTab connect FARR to Firefox to list the tabs and then switch them.

...

I'm sure a lot of thing can be done with mozrepl since everything that is doable for firefox with extension can be done through repl. I hope we have some mozilla hackers here because I would love to see plugins interacting with Firefox. Creating tabs, switching, create shortcuts, extract html fragments etc... many things should be doable.

Bakko - Transformations of FARR Text Field Content

The main point of this plugin is to provide a customizable means for transforming the main FARR window's text field content. At the moment, "customizable" means that the user can write a bit of JavaScript to operate on the text field content. It's also possible that people could share these bits of JavaScript smiley

Comparer File Info Plugin for FARR, uses total commander wdx plugs for file info

This is a plugin for FARR that utilizes the Comparer tool written by fenixproductions for the recent NANY 2009 event.

Essentially it adds a right-click context menu item to any result that will give you info on the file; by installing additional wdx total commander plugins you can get even more info for specific kinds of files. See the link above for more info on that.

You can also use +cmpc in your search string to trigger the info display without using the right click.

Download:

http://www.donationcoder....addons/FarrCompareCmd.zip

All credit goes to fenixproductions for his tool which does all the work; thanks to ecaradex, ewemoa and, czb for the javascript plugin scripting for FARR which this uses. This plugin might be useful for people who want to see how to make a farr plugin that shells out to executables and displays the results, and for information on adding a context menu item to results.

Screenshot aliases using MiniCap

mouser's excellent Screenshot Captor does pretty much everything you need for screenshot capturing (and more) but isn't exactly a tiny lightweight app. But it's baby brother MiniCap is a command line based screenshot capture app. This makes it ideal for the quick screenshot capturing tasks, and also ideal for FARR aliases!

You'll find (currently an old build of) MiniCap here: http://www.donationcoder....Mouser/MiniCap/index.html (mouser will probably update this ASAP)

I've put together a package that includes some aliases as well as a fresh build of MiniCap itself. These aliases should cover a range of screenshot options but adding or editing should be easy enough.

Quote from: mouser

to install this you would put the minicap directory in your FindAndRunRobot\AliasGroups\Installed directory. That alias subdirectory is marked as Read-only from within FARR so that it can be easily updated.

To use, type 'mcap' which will present you with the following commands

Command	Description
Screen capture	Captures current screen
Last active window capture	Captures the last active window (i.e. active before launching FARR )
Select region capture	Interactive capture of region (traditional style mode -- locked to current screen of multimonitor)
Object capture	Interactive capture of object (red box mode)
Red box region capture	Interactive capture of region (red box mode)
Capture to clipboard	Copy the interactively selected image to clipboard
Border shadow capture	Add a nice border and shadow to interactively selected image
DC Review capture	Autosaves to "%MYDOCUMENTS%\reviews\$appname$\$windowtitle$_$uniquenum$.png" I found this was quite helpful when working on a minireview
Multimon capture	Capture entire desktop workspace (all multimonitors if more than one exists)
Delayed screen capture (4 secs)	Wait 4 seconds before engaging capture of current screen
Crash msg capture	I'm using a couple of beta apps and if they crash I can save the crash message to "%MYDOCUMENTS%\crashinfo\crash_$windowtitle$_$datetime$.png"
Help with MiniCap	Launches the MiniCap helpfile

Thanks goes to mouser for both a lot of help and suggestions while making the aliases and for updating MiniCap and adding several new features. Looking at several other aliases was also very helpful, so if you've released a pack of aliases I've probably looked at it in awe Wink

Latest version can be downloaded from my dcmembers webspace!

Farr Search Aliases- Am I missing something?

I am a long timefarr user and a fairly recent DC Member. This is my first post.

Before I start I tried searching for the answer and I am by no means a programmer but I am trying to understand how use farr to create search aliases that work like quick searches in firefox. Basically I am trying to figure out how to translate these kinds of quick searches to Farr from firefox

Here's what I am trying to do. I have a keyword search setup in firefox.
keyword = bk
search string/location = http://www.booksamillion....0213&query=%s&where=Books

I think that I want to replace the %s search criteria with $$1 in Farr. What I can't figure out with farr is how to get it to include the rest of the search string which is not varible when I use this kind of query.

I guess I don't understand enough about FARR and the syntax it uses to get this to work. I hope I am making some sense. Any help is appreciated. I really want to learn and understand how to do these more complex searches in FARR.

Alias: Send Twitter updates from Farr

this is a very simple alias that updates to your Twitter page. i believe that a more robust plugin is in the works but until it is ready, this alias sort of plugs the gap. do try this out. smiley

also, i'm afraid that there are some manual steps needed to get this alias working, where you have to add in your username and password to get it working. (see pic). credit goes to DC member srikat whose code saved me a lot of time. Wink

also to the cURL team and Dirceu Veiga of Fasticon.com (for the Twitter icon, of course).

Usage setup:
download the zipped file. extract the contents into Farr's sub-folder "\AliasGroups\MyCustom'. launch Farr then go to the 'Options' > 'Aliases/Groups'. choose the twitter alias from the drop-box on the right. double-click on it to edit and make the changes mentioned above. close everything until you reach Farr's main window. type 'tw' <insert whatever> and press enter.

FARR alias: Quick Outlook Task

I use Outlook tasks quite a lot, for serious tasks, to-do lists, but also quick reminders. Today I stumbled across "QuickOutlookTask", a small command-line utility that allows you to quickly add an Outlook task. You simply type something like "do new outlook task" (command line, or Windows Run) and this creates a new Outlook task with subject "new outlook task". Outlook needn't even be running. See http://www.megalab.it/articoli.php?id=1288.

Well, a couple of days ago I discovered FARR and quickly fell in love with it (kudos, mouser Thmbsup

) and I wanted to have this through FARR. So I wrapped this functionality in a FARR alias, and this is my attempt to pass it on to you.

Table Data Search Plugin

Table Data Search Plugin

This plugin can search and display tabular data files of varying formats (csv files or any text files whose columns can be parsed using a regular expression).

It can be be used to display and search for data in spreadsheets, dictionaries, etc. Only rows matching the search terms will be displayed so it's a great way to look up data.

Each data file has its own settings that specify:

Column Titles
Pattern for parsing column data
Max number of results to display
Option whether to search after every character typed
Option for case sensitivity

Other features:

Columns can be sorted
Supports html in column data
Incudes update support and two sample data files.
You can configure as many data files as you want, and easily switch between them (ctrl+tab or just click the filename).
The settings for each file are saved in to a file with the same name as the data file but with a .json extension, so you can easily share your data files+settings with others.

Alias: Google Maps Directions

recently i find myself using this feature quite frequently so made an alias. just copy the code & paste into Farr's "Aliases/Groups" section.

[copy or print]
1000>>>Google Maps Directions>->Directions from $$1 to $$2 | http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&geocode=&saddr=$$1&daddr=$$2 /ICON=icons\google.ico>+>^gm ([^\s]*) ([^\s]*)

note: i use whitespace to separate the query words, so do not separate terms that include region, country, etc. e.g Wigan,UK will work but Wigan, UK won't.

New plugin: FARR MultiMonitor

Description
The FARR MultiMonitor plugin extends FARR to work better with multiple monitors. FARR's main window currently always shows up on the monitor you moved it to. With the FARR MultiMonitor plugin enabled, FARR's main window will show up on the monitor that contains the currently active window (usually the window of the application you're working in, and also where you're currently looking at).

Additionally, the FARR MultiMonitor plugin has the option to center FARR's main window on the screen.

Warning
This plugin is experimental. To provide its functionality, it uses ways other than the regular FARR plugin API. What this means is that there's no guarantee this plugin will work with future versions of FARR. It does seem to work now though. Note that I did not do much testing. It's working fine on my Windows XP computer with two monitors attached. I did not test it with more than two monitors, nor with only one monitor.

Download
You can get it from here: http://farrmultimonitor.origo.ethz.ch/download

Options
Note that the plugin offers a couple of options which can be set in the FARR advanced plugin options dialog. There's a brief description of these options in the readme file. Also note that the center option is off by default (because it could be quite annoying without the threshold level set to something sensible).

Alias sharing - UK Alias Pack

Attached are a set of aliases for users in the UK. I started this set to add UK sites to FARR's core aliases.

For example this set adds maps.google.co.uk to the maps Search alias. This ensures a search for say Reading returns Reading, Berkshire rather than Reading, PA.

As well as additions to the FARR's core aliases I have added a couple of other sets (newspapers and weather) for UK sites.

Just unzip the file and put the UK direction under AliasGroups\MyCustom

New C# FARR Plugin: FARRGoogleSuggest

Hi,

I have made a Google Suggest plugin. It query's Google just like the Google Toolbar and returns suggestions and checks your spelling.

Type gs and your query.

Sincerely,
Jens Peter Grosen

New C# FARR Plugin: FARREnviormentVariables

This plugin lets you easily access your environment variables. For example, Firefox keeps all its settings in your application data folder (%appdata%). In explorer you could simply write %appdata% to access it, however, in FARR it isn't possible. Until now.

Install the plugin and press % to see the list of your environment variables, select one to automatically expand it on the search path or simply continue writing. Once you add the \ it would automatically expand. E.g, writing %appdata%\ would automatically become C:\Documents and Settings\Vitaly\Application Data\.

New C# FARR Plugin: FARRTunes - iTunes control plugin

Hey all! For all you music listeners and iTunes users.

Download link (please unpack it to your "FARR\Plugins\FARRTunes\" directory):
http://vitalyb.dcmembers....m/FARRTunes/FARRTunes.zip

Since it is quite a complex plug-in bugs are very expected. Please post on the thread if you have any trouble.
I'll be also glad to hear of your general experience with the plug-in.

Version History

1.00 Initial release

Features

See the current song info
Play/Pause/Next/Previous
Search a playlist and start the one you want
Search for any song and play it
See the current playing song lyrics
Rate the current playing song

This has to be one of the most extensive plugins developed for FARR, and it makes use of a ton of different techniques. The author (vitalyb) also made his plugin SDK available which let's people write plugins in C# (or any .net language). Really great.

FARR (Find and Run Robot) v2 download for those who don't have it already: here.

See screenshots and read more..

GetIt - Install programs as easily as you can uninstall them

Website: http://puchisoft.com/GetIt/

I told you guys I was working on something fun you might enjoy.

See the website for details, but basically GetIt is a simple interface to a variety of Windows-based application-getters like Win-Get and AppSnap.

Note that this is not a plugin. It is useful to lots of people, not just FARR users (although I made it with you guys in mind). What you see above is an alias (perhaps the first program to install an alias into your Installed Aliases folder).

FARR Plugin : FScript allow to write plugins in javascript and a delicious sample

FScript allow to write a plugin for FARR in javascript.

I made a delicious plugin for demonstration : decompress delicious.rar to farr/plugins then type dlc/any_tag in farr to try it.

The principle of fscript.dll is the following :
Put the dll in a folder next to a file named fscript.js. FARR will call you on onSearchBegin and on onRegexSearchMatch. You can call FARR.emitResult to publish results. This is mouser style documented... just get the source

I hope to see a lot of little baby script plugins.

FScript is based on the Windows Script Control Host which you may need to download if it is not installed :
