Sorry I couldn't find it.  Thank you for the fix!

Out of the blue, farr no longer remembering it's last position.  The ini has the correct coordinates in MainLeft and MainTop (which is up at the top of the screen), but FARR keeps opening in the middle of the screen (even after I move it to the top where I want it).

Thanks for any help.  Apologies if this is in the options, or the forum, but I couldn't find it in either place.

Solved.  Thank a ton Mouser.  There were are rack of variables in there for Timer.  I deleted them all, exited, reloaded, and have no error messages and the timer is working again.  Bummer of a time sink, but so happy to be back on the bus!

Peace!

Yes, still getting the error.  I did find the UserVars section, but nothing in there related to Timer.  This is the only line:

UserVars=[Common]>n>//put user defined variables here>n>Var=Value

No luck yet, but thankful for the suggestions.  I restored an older FARR.ini, and hunted for (but couldn't find) user variables associated with Timer (at the bottom of FARR.ini).

FARR did some updates yesterday, I am now running v 2.104.02, but when FARR launches I get an error "while loading C:\Program Files" (error shown below).  Most of FARR seems to be running, but I have lost the timer feature.  When I "Click to examine and configure plugins", the "CZB Pack" does not show up in that first list, but when I click "Check for plugin updates", it shows CZB_Pack v.0.24 and says it is installed and up to date.  I downloaded the CZB_Pack and unzipped it into the plugin folder, but no affect on the startup or loss of "tm".

I did find "pluginlog.txt" and there's an "Error initializing plugin do_init function" for FarrFox that's been logging regularly since August of 2011, but FARRFox is working.

Thanks for any help or suggestions.  Also interested in disabling the automatic updates.

Yes, just the regular minimize (to the task bar, then restore brings it back to work on as with other apps).

For the window to go away completely, I just close it or hit <esc>.

Yes, the post-capture dialog.  I like it, and sometimes wish I could minimize it but the minimize icon is greyed out.

Is there a way to minimize the window that says, "You have captured a new screenshot, what now?" (the minimize icon is greyed up in the title bar).

If not, any chance that could be allowed in the future?

Thanks for any help. 

Bomb!  Thanks a lot Mouser!

If I leave SCC open too long, it creates a folder named "OLDER" on my desktop (my preferred location for file saves).

Is there a way to get it to not do this?

I do not mind loosing anything it would ever save it there.

Thanks for any help-

I can run it manually without error, but I get the same "Application Error" popup every morning from when it runs overnight.  My DC apps are all in pretty good shape, so uninstalling the updater for a while.

I want to use '='  to open fcalc so I entered this to "Regular Expression (custom override)":
^=(.*)$|^=$

It opens fcalc just fine, but when I hit enter fcalc disappears and the command line gets replaced with 'fc'.  So I tried using this regex instead:

^=(.*)$|^=$|^fc (.*)$|^fc$
... which keeps fcalc opened, but it stops functioning (or at least stops reacting to me entering more expressions).

Thanks for any suggests-

That would solve it Mouser, thanks for the help!

I take it the setting I changed is for the internal format, not for the file save?

You're The Bomb Mouser.  I use FARR dozens of times per day and every time I am just a little happier than I was right before I launched it!

I'm looking for a way to change the default file type used in the "Save As" dialog.

In the Screenshot Captor Options, under "Image File Format" I set the default image file format to JPG.  But when I capture an image and select "Save Image As", the dialog that says "Save Copy of Image As..." is always set to BMP.

Thanks for any help.  Sorry I couldn't find it on my own.

Not sure if this is the place to post this, but I use FARRGoogleSuggest all the time and sometimes wish I could hotkey into "feeling lucky".  i.e., I'm typing into FARR, looking at the google suggest results, and just want to go straight to one of the first google results (not go to google to see the results, and then go to the first list).  Maybe something like Alt-F1, Alt-F2, etc.?

Does anyone know a way to achieve something like this?

Thanks for any suggestions.

And thanks for the awesome plug-in!

I'm looking for a way to open Chrome from FARR if it's not already open (or bring it to the foreground if it is already open), and have it point to my gmail inbox (or gmail compose).  My default browser is not Chrome (it's FireFox).

Any help/suggestions greatly welcome.

I believe I found the issue.  My "settings" window opens so you see everything but the "Send" button at the bottom.  So I figured closing it had the same effect.  I just scrolled down to find the button, clicked send, and now my timers are working and I have pleasure.

Great plug-in, thanks!

How do you start the timer?  I type in "tm in 10 test." (without the quotes) and nothing happens.  The area below the input box says "Counting down. (example: 4:50.....), the In: says 10 seconds, the Text: says test. (with the period).  And then it says "Preset alarm (Type in the text "undefined"): true.

The status bar shows the date/time and "Next event in: No timer set"

Thanks for any help.

Just because you are paranoid Mouser, doesn't mean they are not after you.

All of the last (4? 5?) updates have forced FARR to exit, and no problem until this one.

Although my most recent BackupIni file was 0 bytes, the one before had everything and all is restored perfectly at this time.  Perfection.  That is what I get from FARR, a *very* high percentage of the time.

As always, thank you!  And have a great day!

My bad, incorrectly recalled there being a global activation key, with the rest of the hotkey tab as separate.

Meanwhile: I did find the ini file and there is a backup in there, but it is an empty file.  It kind of seems like the installer may have done this.  I've been using farr all morning, and for months before, without touching the ini file or that directory.  I did the new install, and now the previous settings seem gone.

Thanks for the help and update Mouser, I'm sure I'll get back on track.

Where can I modify the key(s) to launch FARR?  I have been using alt-J, but apparently that is/was not the default.  I'm not seeing it in the options panel, but I'm sure it's there somewhere.

Not sure what happened, but at the end of the install I got "file <wasn't paying attention> is not a valid FARR ini file" something along those lines.  Not sure where it was pointing, but I'll find a copy of the file on another machine, restore it here, and let you know how it goes.  I have not edited the ini file for many months.

I'm all good.  You do so much as it is, and nobody else with the same issue, and now they can find a solution..... I say let it go.  Finish your dissertation.

Oh yeah, that feels good.  Enter.  Expression.  All day long.  This is going to be a good second half of the week.

Do you have a number where my wife might phone?  She does not think I are a genius.  Especially if I can not OR two regular expressions together.

Thanks for the help jgpaiva.
