Backing up and replacing the working RindAndRunRobot.ini with the non-working RindAndRunRobot.ini produced the error of not launching.

Comparing the two files the differences are:

Good FindAndRunRobot.ini	Bad FindAndRunRobot.ini
ComboBoxLaunchMode=0	ComboBoxLaunchMode=1
CheckBoxUseDocLaunchHelper=1	CheckBoxUseDocLaunchHelper=1
CheckBoxAlwaysLaunchViaShortcuts=1	CheckBoxAlwaysLaunchViaShortcuts=1
ComboBox_ControlNum=2	ComboBox_ControlNum=1

All the other differences were just height and width differences.

I'm running XP Professional, and Symantec Endpoint Protection.  I really doubt it's Symantec causing the problem, I'd lean more to a configuration file that was fixed when created new during the install to a new folder.  

Which configuration file would contain the possible non-standard "Launch Method" set in my general options?  I could email you my prior 'bad' version and now working version to review if that would help?

Good call on the installing the new version to a different directory!

I downloaded and did that and everything is working perfect.  Sorry for the scare. 

Thanks again for helping me get back to working.

I installed the new version date/time stamped 8/28/2010 6:56PM of FindAndRunRobot.exe over my current version.

So I just went back downloaded and installed the version dated 8/20/2010 5:33 PM FindAndRunRobot.exe into another directory.  When running the 8/20 version launching of existing Excel, Word and PDF files all open immediately.  Then closing the 8/20 version and running the 8/28 version I'm unable to open the existing Excel, Word or PDF documents any longer.

Let me know if I can give you anymore information.  Are there any logs created I can attach?

if you want to try it out early, grab from:

Mouser, since installing the new version above I can't open an existing Word 2007 document, Excel 2007 document or Adobe PDF file when selecting them from the search box. I can open Word, Excel and Adobe reader applications from FARR but not an existing document of those types. 

Does this happen for you?

Just installed and the saving URLs in the launch history now works perfectly!

in addition to urls you can also add entries like "restartsearch stuff for search edit box here"

-mouser (August 28, 2010, 08:09 PM)

Can you give me an example how this feature would be used?  I checked in the help file and it sounds interesting but I'm not understanding its full uses.

restartsearch STRING_TO_SEARCH_FOR - restarts a new search by replacing editbox text (use \s at end of line to add a space after the new search string).  Use \n at the end to simulate the pressing of Enter after the search is conducted (useful especially for plugins triggers).

Thanks again for the help and great support!

Find And Run Robot / Adding a URL to Search History Results?

« on: August 27, 2010, 12:51 PM »

I've searched on how to do this but can't seem to find how to add a URL to the Search History that's brought up when the hot key is hit.

I can add applications by going to 'Option' -> 'Launch History' section, but when I try to add a frequently used URL it's not saved in the Search History list?

Thanks,
Neal
