I'm not sure whether the attachment went I've haven't seen any post yet. I did it as a modify.  I think I'll just do a new attachment.

I'm afraid right now there is nothing automated about it, but most people will be able to follow the instructions.

Well I think I have put together a package for a browser to use with Farr.  I hope I will be forgiven for being so banal but since I am giving it "to" Farr; I couldn't resist naming it "A Browser to Farr"  I can't imagine how many times you've heard that one :-)

I've handled the directory like this <FindAndRunRobot\AliasGroups\Installed\TWHelp\Browser\farrbrowser.alias> because I have a couple of other TiddlyWiki reference things I might add to this TWHelp directory.

Anyhow I've zipped it all up. It may or may not be clear about the directories but I've tried my best to explain in ReadMe.  Now I need someone to try it out.  Do you have a place I can upload the zip file or how do you handle things like this?

Thanks, I didn't notice you could attach files.  For the time being I'll just send Browser.zip as an attachment so someone else can check to see if what I've done actually works.

The %PROGRAMFILES% has never been checked; even so I still added FindAndRunRobot to the exclude subdirectories as shown in the screen shot to no avail.

I have since added three more TiddlyWikis to the system and they all return two results as well. I am new to this and I don't know what is normal. I assumed the two results I originally saw was normal.

After some investigation I've found that to prevent the extra results "BOTH" %FARRDIR%MyLocalData/ in Search Folder and C:\Program Files\FindAndRunRobot\MyLocalData/\TiddlyWiki\xxxx\ in Launch History must "both" be unchecked, neither on their own prevents the duplication.

Another way of getting a single return(with both of the above checked again) is in Search Behavior change the "Stop search on regex alias match" that was ticked by default to:  to "exact alias match"

I have checked and double checked and have reached the point of diminishing returns on trying to find a way to get "tiwi" to come up properly like all the rest; short of reinstalling FARR.  Do you have a plugin that will overlay core aliases? I don't know how much of this is my unfamiliarity but I think something is amiss in "tiwi". But as Scarlet O'Hara said; "I'll think about that tomorrow" and it will be corrected in due course.

However I've got everything else working satisfactorily and would like to learn how to package some of this to share.

I got sidebarradio.html running in HtmlView all right.  All the radio stations play and the browser works perfectly. It's quite enjoyable seeing colourful web pages open while listening to Rachmaninoff's Concerto No. 2 :-) I'm not sure what it's all good for but it works.... well you can continue listening to the radio while you work, until you use FARR again then it stops. Which is an undocumented feature since you shouldn't be listening to the radio while you are trying to concentrate on finding something :-)

For the record.....

1: I created a directory in "C:\Program Files\FindAndRunRobot\MyLocalData\TiddlyWiki\sdbr\sidebarradio.html"
2: In myalias.alias I put "Sdbr Tiddly Wiki Plus| htmlviewurl file://%FARRDIR%MyLocalData/TiddlyWiki/sdbr/sidebarradio.html"

Doing a search in FARR for sdbr returns two results:

Sdbr Tiddly Wiki Plus
Alias sdbr
Score 1000
===and===
sdbr
TiddlyWiki\
Score 433

The first opens sidbarradio.html in HtmlView and runs perfectly.
The second opens Windows Explorer to C:\Program Files\FindAndRunRobot\MyLocalData\TiddlyWiki\sdbr\sidebarradio.html

Doing a search in FARR for gwp returns two results:

GTD Tiddly Wiki Plus
Alias gwp
Score: 1000
===and===
gwp
TiddlyWiki\
Score 427
 
With the same result as above respectively.

However Doing a search in FARR for tiwi only returns one result:

tiwi
TiddlyWiki\
Score: 432

So nothing will open in HtmlView; only in Windows Explorer. I don't believe I disturbed anything.  Restarting everything doesn't help.

So there you are, the usual; a good result tempered by a fly in the ointment :-)

I would be interested to learn how to package this as you said so others might try it and maybe do a dedicated TiddlyWiki for some purpose yet to be imagined.

Hi all,

I discovered FARR today by following back a hit on my TiddlyWiki http://sidebarnotes.tiddlywiki.com that came from this Forum. I'm trying to understand the HTML view mode, alias etc.  It appears hard coded because I can't find a way to make my own alias as per the Help file maybe I'm missing something crucial to the understanding of this.

That notwithstanding, and although I know next to nothing about any of this, I have read these posts and can see certain misgivings about this HTML viewer growing like topsy into another Firefox or God forbid another IE. There may be a certain validity to these fears as all things seem to continue to grow and grow, possibly because the Universe is expanding for want of a better reason :-)

Needless to say I have already gotten caught up in this and would like to try something.  We have a little browser plugin at TiddlyWiki that may satisfy anyone's need for a browser without FARR growing at all, by just loading a TiddlyWiki into the HTML viewer. Except I don't know how to do it.

I've got another little squeezable TiddlyWiki that I use in my Firefox sidebar that I use for listening to the radio that's got this browser plugin in it that we could try if someone could explain how to do it; it's at:
