Plugin: FarrFox

FarrFox now searches your bookmarks from: FireFox, Opera, and IE-based browsers, all at once.  No configuration should be required.

Download: http://www.donationcoder....ddons/FarrFox/FarrFox.zip

Usage: Just type 'ff keywords'

Note: the first time you use it after a long period of disuse it will need to rescan all your favorites, which can take some seconds.

Plugin: Network Connections

This plugin is very simple and does not do much actually.  It searches your network connections and invoke its default verb upon triggering.  It took me about 2-3 hours to write it.  With this "proof of concept" plugin under my belt, hopefully I can move up to something more challenging.  I have to deal with VPN and PPPoA connections a lot at work, so this might actually useful for my personal use.

Installation
Extract and put under the FARR plugin directory.

Type "nwconn $$$1" to search.

Plugin: ProcessKill

This plugin displays a list of active processes and allows user to kill the selected process. Should work on 2K/XP/Vista.  Haven't tried on the 9x systems.  Actually haven't tested it much at all....so please report bugs.

Thought about extracting the icons from the EXE instead of showing a generic one for all processes, but the SDK currently only allow icons by filenames.  So I would have to save all icons to disk and pass them to the host (kind of troublesome).  EDIT: DONE, thanks to mouser's suggestion!

Installation:
Extract the zip file to the farr2 plugins directory then reload the plugins from the plugins listing screen.

Plug-in: ExternalSearch

This plug-in is designed to facilitate, in a very basic way, integration of external applications with the searching capabilities of FARR. It is designed with programmers in mind to allow for quick and painless integration. With it, you can instruct FARR to perform searches on your application's behalf with a string you specify, via the FARRT library (yes this name is a joke). The complete readme is attached.

PLEASE NOTE: This plug-in, in its current form, is not of any significant use to the FindAndRunRobot user. It is for the programmer wishing to interface his application with FARR. If you have any feature requests etc please let me know. It is my intention to add new ways to interface your program with FARR to this plug-in.

ExternalSearch - Plug-in Only

ExternalSearch - Plug-in w/ source & demo of integration w/ source in C.

Plugin: SendMessage

The SendMessage plug-in is designed to facilitate control of various third-party applications from FARR. It uses the windows PostMessage api to send standard window messages to the window/dialog of an application you the user specifies by class or title or both.

The user also specifies the UINT, wParam and lParam, and thus it can be used to send any form or window message. Currently, its focus is on control of media applications (Winamp, Windows Media Player, Foobar2000 etc).

Please feel free to leave feedback and/or bug reports in this thread.

The complete readme is attached, and the plug-in itself can be found:
