Albeit hard to find, there already is a GUI tool that can alter shortcuts: Shortcuts Search And Replace

It has served me well on numerous occasions!

Hi!

With the release of FARR v2.104.01 two of the bugs I have reported over time are now solved:
http://www.donationcoder....rum/index.php?topic=26729
http://www.donationcoder....rum/index.php?topic=26511

As both threads are almost a year old now, what's the proper handling of them?
Just leave them be, add a "[SOLVED]" to the subject or something completely different?

I have the same experience with using FARR together with Dropbox. As I have disabled search history, launch history and logging, I only get conflicts for the 'FindAndRunRobot.ini'.

I think the problem is that FARR writes to the ini file upon starting and upon closing. As FARR is one of the apps that is started first and closed last in a session, this might lead to the mentioned conflicts. Rather than putting the ini file outside of the Dropbox (which would actually defeat the purpose of Dropbox, wouldn't it?) an FARR option to not write to the ini file (unintentionally) would be better in my opinion. I already tried to set the ini file to 'read-only' but FARR happily removes the flag upon saving!

The site looked promising at first, but none of the bookmarklets there worked either, strangely. Not even in Opera Mobile...

[Javascript]

E.g.:
http://m.lifehacker.com/
http://m.gizmodo.com/

And as I just saw, this use the tag

Formatted for Javascript with the GeSHI Syntax Highlighter [copy or print]
user-scalable=no

instead of

Formatted for Javascript with the GeSHI Syntax Highlighter [copy or print]
user-scalable=0

I would try things without them (i.e. use spaces) initially.

Yes, I did that - it does not work. I tried some 'javascript to bookmarklet' converters, and they all replaced the spaces by '%20'. Seems to me, the javascript must not contain spaces.

Hi ewemoa!

Let me start by expressing my gratitude for taking time trying to help me!

I did not get it to work yet, however I think it is the fault of Android or the Android Browser respectively.

Here is what I tried:
I took your script and deleted the line breaks, comments and unnecessary spaces and added two 'alert' functions, to see if the script is executed at all:

Formatted for Javascript with the GeSHI Syntax Highlighter [copy or print]
javascript:(function(){alert("start");var%20elts=document.getElementsByName("viewport");var%20attrval="";var%20cntRe=/(user-scalable\s*=\s*0)/i;var%20i=0;for(i=0;i<elts.length;i++){attrval=elts[i].getAttribute("content");if(cntRe.test(attrval)){elts[i].setAttribute("content",attrval.replace(cntRe,"user-scalable=1"));}}alert("end")})();

Then I tried it with the following browsers (on the phone):

• Android Browser
• Firefox Beta v5.0
• Dolphin Browser HD Beta v5.0.2
• Miren Browser v1.2

Only Firefox executes the script (prints the 'end' message twice btw.), but it has no effect on the webpage. The other three browser choke already on the following lines (without the 'var...' line they can execute the script though):

Formatted for Javascript with the GeSHI Syntax Highlighter [copy or print]
javascript:(function(){
alert("start");
var%20attrval="";
alert("end")}
)();

Any ideas?

As I got not a single reply in almost five month, I hope it's alright that I bump this topic once: bump.

['%SystemRoot%\System32\SystemPropertiesProtection.exe']

Hi!

The problem is a bit hard to explain for me, so I start with an example:

I have a shortcut pointing to the 'System Protection' tab under 'System Properties' on Win7 64bit: '%SystemRoot%\System32\SystemPropertiesProtection.exe'. If I start that shortcut from Windows Explorer, the right dialog pops up. But if I start the same link from FARR, only the 'Computer Name' tab pops up (with some other tabs strangely missing).

I tried the different options under 'Options for Launching Programs and Documents', but to no avail. At first I suspected a problem with the admin rights, but as I am logged on as admin anyway and I can edit the Network ID and computer name in the 'Computer Name' tab, I don't think that's the cause.

Can some please confirm this behavior?

Thanks for the consideration!

[launch a shortcut]

Hi!

I am not sure if this actually is a bug or a feature, but if you launch a shortcut to a file/app from FARR that starts with a dot (e.g. ".My Shortcut.lnk"), it will open an explorer window with the path of the shortcut instead of opening the file/app itself.

I have several shortcuts that start with a dot for one reason or another. So is this the intended behavior?
If yes, can someone explain to me what it is good for?
If no, can it be fixed?

Thanks & cheers,

Some time ago I found out that USBDLM (USB Drive Letter Manager) by Uwe Sieber can actually also launch a program on docking/undocking in addition to react to drive connections.

[remove the zoom restrictions for mobile web pages on my Android phone]

I would like to remove the zoom restrictions for mobile web pages on my Android phone (should also work on iPhone/iPad), because my sight is not the best and some fonts are just too tiny for me to read on that little display.

If I researched correctly, the restriction is caused by the 'user-scalable=0' argument of the 'viewport' meta tag, e.g.

[copy or print]
<meta content='width=device-width; initial-scale=1.0; maximum-scale=1.0; user-scalable=0;' name='viewport' />

I thought it might be possible to replace this 'user-scalable=0' with a 'user-scalable=1' (or remove it alltogether) using a bookmarklet. Unfortunately I don't know any JavaScript, so could someone please help me out on that?

[...] you obviously wouldn't want it having to repeatedly query the environment variable each time it searches.

No, surely not!

But please, if it is a hassle, just leave it be. I'm sure you have more important things to do than fulfilling a feature request of a single user!

[both]

But the point is, I have both versions (x64 and x32) of the programs on the usb flash drive.

What I'd like to achieve is, that on 64-bit systems the 64-bit applications are on top of the search results.

On all 64-bit machines I use, there is the environment variable %OsArch%, which is set 'x64' and the program links look like e.g. 'Blender 2.55 (x64).lnk' and 'Blender 2.55 (x32).lnk'. So with a 'Pattern Scoring' like '*(%OsArch%)*.lnk' the x64-links would be first on 64-bit systems.

I thought there might be a simple way to do this. But if there isn't, I can very well live without it!

I'd like to promote certain search results that contain an specific environment variable.

I thought the easiest way would be to add this variable in the 'Pattern Scoring' section, e.g. '*%var%*'. Apparently this doesn't work.

Is there another way to achieve this?

Yes, "Screenshots" works, but I wanted the folder to be in the root of the drive (e.g. D:\Screenshots), thus the backslash in the beginning.

But anyway, it works with the double dots and therefor I'm happy!

I tried to use "\Screenshots" which resets to the default folder inside the Program folder after a restart.
But "..\..\Screenshots" does work indeed!

Thanks a lot mouser!

[...] ability to specify relative paths and use environment paths in screenshot folder specification.

Have you already had time to implement it? I tried it with the latest version (v2.88.01), but it doesn't seem to work. Screenshots are always stored in the default directory...

Thanks for your consideration and your effort!

No need to rush though, just thought I had missed something...  

[\Temp\Screenshots]

Hey mouser,

I've been trying to do the same thing as the OP, namely using paths like \Temp\Screenshots or ..\..\Temp\Screenshots.

As this post is already quite old and I am still getting error messages using the above paths, I assume the fix never made it in an update ... or am I missing something / doing something wrong?

Hi,

I use the tool ResizeEnable. Only tried it on Windows 7 x64, but I think it should run on XP, too.
