Find And Run Robot / Re: Running FARR (and other) on virtual desktop

« on: September 14, 2010, 08:43 AM »

I have now tried using VirtuaWin and It seems to be
capable of handling my demands.

So there should be no immediate necessity to
change FARR

Thanks folks 
Patch is working for me on vista.

On a Windows 7 machine the options won't pop up.

Interesting!

Hello,

I'm using Vista and I'm experiencing a
strange behaviour.
Every time I type "gw" into FARR the
configuration screen of Google Plus pops up.

Does anyone have a clue for me?

Total Commander can also do synching folders.

Hello,

I've also tried other desktop programs and my experience was that sometimes windows tend to get hidden when moving from
one desktop to another and that in my opinion the separation of the view is rather an advantage than a disadvantage.
I've never experienced something like a crash of the desktop program and had never to start again as a result of lost windows.

As other normally use the functionality to hide and show windows they seem to be more prone to errors.

Find And Run Robot / Running FARR (and other) on virtual desktop

« on: September 10, 2010, 03:03 AM »

Hello,

I've encountered a problem with programs like FARR when using hotkeys.
I'm using Desktops by Sysinternals from Microsoft.
Desktops in this context are separated views for the screen which are based
on distinct processes.
So one desktop doesn't know of other programs running on other desktops
and a program does'nt get the messages or keystrokes.
Therefore you have to start e.g. FARR on every desktop you wanted to run it.
But the effect is, that only one process of FARR gets the keystroke "Break".
So when I'm on another desktop the "Break"-Button will not work.
My question is, does anyone have similar experiences and knows of a workaround?

I have already contacted Mouser and he encouraged me to post it.

Thanks
Markus
