Find And Run Robot / Odd bug with FARR
« on: July 16, 2006, 07:58 PM »
Just started using FARR and I really like it. Prior to FARR I was using Autohotkey for all my scripting needs. I still need it for some things but FARR has replaced my simple scripts.
For example, Ctrl-Shift-O opens Opera (or gives focus to the running instance), opens a new tab, and types "g SPACE" for a new search. I use that a lot. It would be nice if FARR had the option to give focus to an already running application.
Anyway, the problem I found is when I start cmd.exe the command prompt PATH is wrong. By wrong, I mean it's not what I have in the system properties. Very strange.
When I start cmd.exe from Start menu > Run it's correct.
Using procexp I noticed that when launched from FARR that the path was correct but the command line argument wasn't.
The shell started from Start > Run has a Command line of "C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe" while FARRs has nothing for the command line.
Strange, yell if you want more details.
Thanks for the great software,
Chris
