Easy Screencast Recorder / Option to delete last video without confirmation

« on: May 26, 2022, 04:47 PM »

Feature like this one would be great:

Option to delete last video without confirmation, this is to be quicker to kind of "restart" (delete and start a new recording)

also a "restart" option on systray would be great (no delete confirmation)

Find And Run Robot / Drag&Drop towards a FARR result to open with %1 argument

« on: November 16, 2020, 04:47 AM »

Hello,

I have a batchfile that requires a %1 argument.

When searching for this batchfile, I would like to be able to drag&drop into this FARR result to open an application with added %1 argument.

Alternatively, does any know of a small "drag & drop" executable that would just open a bank window for dropping, and that after dropping would close and provide the dropped link as an command line variable? With that variable, I would then pass it to the batch file!

Interesting?!

Screenshot Captor / SC - smart screenshot folder

« on: August 01, 2020, 02:27 AM »

Great software and difficult to find improve points but here is a picky idea!!!

I have screenshot folder to be directly the %Desktop% - This is so I can promptly organize or just delete screenshots instead of leaving a bulky folder behind.

This setup that I have been using for years, also creates some issues as sometimes the desktop gets full.

I now tried to have a subfolder (like %Desktop%\SS), and this is where I see it can be improved.

I want to see the SS folder on my desktop only if there are screenshots inside, otherwise I don't want to see that empty folder.
This just means that if the folder %Desktop%\SS exists there are screenshots for me to organize / delete!

Some topics that might help to make this happen:
--> SC to create %Desktop%\SS only after taking / saving a SS (if the folder does not exists!)
--> SC to not create %Desktop%\SS folder on startup (which is just leaving an empty folder)
--> SC explorer to use the first existing parent folder to monitor when the default does not exist (When double-clicking systray to open SSC)

Feasible?

Screenshot Captor / Systray - Select visible items

« on: January 25, 2020, 06:36 AM »

Similar with the option on the "Advanced tweaking\More interface option\enable/disable toolbar icons" it would be nice to have an identical on to enable/disable the systray icons

Screenshot Captor / Default save folder - systray

« on: January 25, 2020, 06:33 AM »

Hello,

Sometimes I want to save the screenshots I take, other times I just want them to be on the clipboard.

Is it possible to put a systray context item and a toolbar icon to toggle the automatic file save?

Not sure if this filesave is something that is really needed for SSC. If not possible to disable this file save, then it would also be ok, to have the systray icon to quickly swap between two defaults saving folders (Similar with the GoTo menu but without having to select a folder.) Anyhow, to have the GoTo menu also on the systray would already be a good improvement.

Keep up with the updates!

Screenshot Captor / Automatic take a screenshor if part of the screen changes

« on: May 07, 2015, 06:59 PM »

Was wondering to have multiple screenshots of an application, for that I see a few options, are any of these possible already in SSC?

          1) SSC to monitor and automatic take a screenshot if part (lets say 5%) of the screen changes?

          2) script that takes a screenshot everytime the mouse is clicked (so I can click on the application, and a screenshot would automatically be taken without have to click "print screen" or go to SSC)

          3) "Take a video of the desktop!" but I would rather to have individual pictures than a video..

Option 1 is the one that suits me best, Option 2 is a workaround but can work well, and Option 3 does the job but not really what I am looking for!

Cheers,
Filipe

Find And Run Robot / run a batch file without launching a “command window”

« on: April 17, 2015, 05:15 AM »

Hi,

Is there any built-in way in FARR to run a batch file without launching a “command window”?

There are a few workarounds by means of .vbs files, but it would be much more handy to have an option into FARR for this!

Also, maybe it could be nice to FARR to detect is there is an .ico file with the exactly same name as the .bat file and show the .ico in FARR results instead the generic command prompt icon!



Cheers,

Find And Run Robot / Scoring of recently used items being re-scored after presented in FARR

« on: July 23, 2014, 11:55 AM »

Hi,

When I start typing a name of a folder (eg: Mus  - for Music!!)  then many related folders show up, and the one I really want goes to top with over 2000 points!!!

That is really what I want, but the problem is that when I start typing, "Mus" I can see that other items are being populated and re-scored at a latter time, and even the correct Music one is being populated with less than 1000points.

This means that I cannot just type "Mus"+Enter because during those initial seconds it still did not reach those 2000points and the folder I really want is not the first one on the list!! So I have to slow down, wait and read before clicking Enter which is a bit slower and also sometimes I end up triggering other folders/files because in the instant I clicked enter the results have changed.

This might be the way FARR is adding score based on each rule... It would be ok that when FARR would find a higher pointed item on the list to redraw it, but in this situation the item is being presented with lower points than what it will have some seconds after... hopefully there is a way to present the item only when all the rules have scored the item or maybe have a historical table with recently "combined scores"

It would be much faster to just type a few letters and click enter and not end up triggering other items because of laggines of update final score, at the end this was a recently used item that I know it will end up in top position and I just want to quickly relaunch it without having read and wait for it to be on top position to click enter!

Cheers,
Filipe

Find And Run Robot / Folder score

« on: July 08, 2014, 12:10 PM »

Hi,

When I search for some folder (getting score like 200) and thereafter click "Add scoring rule for this item" and type score 1000, then, next time I search for that folder I still get the previous score of 200... (If I then right click and do the same, I can see the 1000 is stored but somehow not working)

Any suggestions?

Screenshot Captor / Startup error due to Decimal symbol

« on: August 13, 2013, 09:02 PM »

Hi,

I have problems starting SCC in portable mode if the decimal symbol is not the correct one, which it changes if I have to use it in different computers.

Attached screenshot of the event:

[ Invalid Attachment ]

If the decimal symbol is "," then it works, but when it is "." then crashes... and in other computers seems to be opposite...

Suggestions are welcome
Congratulations of this great app,

Cheers

Screenshot Captor / "Saving options dialog" and "Auto copy to clipboard when SSC looses focus"

« on: January 16, 2013, 12:00 AM »

Hi,

After making a few changes on a screenshot, if a different picture is selected on the "Thumbnail Panel" there will be shown a pop up with a few saving options, a combobox and a "Ok" button.

This topology requires too many clicks and readding everytime one want to just answer "Overrwrite" or "Abandon Changes" and therefore addition of these two buttons instead of just a "Ok" button could be realy a nice thing. (BUG: if you click "X" to close this dialog the "OK" button function is triggered)

Another more complex idea would be to make a "Auto copy to clipboard when ScreenshotCapture looses focus" setting so that one could take a screenshot, make a few changes (Highlight something for example) , and right after changing application (to outlook for example) the picture could be automaticly saved on clipboard, so one could paste it directly...  (At the moment even CTRL+C does not work all the time and one has to go to Edit menu to make a copy... strange...)

Have a great day and thank you for this excelent application

Find And Run Robot / Launch, stay open and continue searching

« on: February 21, 2012, 05:14 PM »

Hi Mouser,

The option ctrl+dlbclick to launch and stay open works really well.

A great functionality that could be added would be to continue the search after launching
(at the moment, if I am searching for some subject, the results are being populated, but, as soon as one file is launched the search stops... that is ok for normal launching.. but with the "launch and stay open" it would be much better if the search would continue...)

What do you think of this idea?

Have a great day!

Find And Run Robot / FARR Problem with running in Portably on Win7

« on: October 02, 2011, 05:01 AM »

Hi,

I was trying to use this application on a company computer.. The problem is that the computer is using some kind of clouding (I have no details on it) that might be causing some issues

The computer has a Windows 7 64b, and application stored on "D:\FARR\FindAndRunRobot.exe"

Whenever I try to launch it I get some error messages that I below describe

(The server has actually a different name that I do not want to specify here, so I just replaced with server.com)

"
File and Run Robot
------------------
Error:
\\server.com\personal\DonationCoder\FileAndRunRobot\FileAndRunRobot.ini
is not a Find and Run Robot configuration file.
Please delete it if the problem persists
"

followed by

"
File and Run Robot
------------------
ATTN: ERROR CREATING LOG FILE
\\server.com\personal\DonationCoder\FileAndRunRobot\FarrTroubleshooting.log
"

The settings are from scratch, so I try to add a search directory manually and get:

"
File and Run Robot
------------------
Failed to delete previous temp file
\\server.com\personal\DonationCoder\FileAndRunRobot\FileAndRunRobot.ini.tmp
"

Quitting the application has the same saving the ini/tmp file error.

I have checked the .ini file and it is great, works fine on other computers and I can open it in notepad with no problems...

The problem seems to be the could thing, but its a company policy that I cannot do anything against...

I have tried to run the application in c:\windows\temp in an attempt to trick the could.. but the cloud seems to be binding all the computer folders..

On the other hand, it seems that FARR is not as portable as I first thought:
it goes from D:\FARR\" to that server
I find it strange that is not only the drive is changing from "d:\" to the "\\server.com\" but also the rest of the path from "FARR\.." to "personal\DonationCoder\FileAndRunRobot\"

Is there any thing you could do/suggest to help me with this?

I was using FARR "portable" to keep settings, but I have also tried to use the installation and tried to delete the ini file... same problem: no settings are saved!!

Have a great day
