Find And Run Robot / Re: Startup Speed
« on: October 05, 2006, 12:19 PM »
Hi mouser,

i'm still having the same issue as matt_man22 with the new beta release

i reported that problem some time ago, i still have FARR installed, but i use launchy in my everyday work

Don't get me wrong, i do love FARR, but it would be so much better (for me), if there was not this startup problem

Keep up the good work ;)

PS: i'm missing 2 or 3 keys ... not just one

i may be completely off topic, and i'm sorry if it's the case  :huh:

do you have plans to allow the following :

pretty much like the alias mechanism, one would type the name of the alias, ex:

snippets

then (after a space) it would search within a specific folder(s) / file(s) type(s) (specified in the alias "snippets"), ex:

snippets php

it would search "php", but it would also know (because specified in the alias) that it uses a specific action for the found file, ex:
(imagine i have a small app to copy the text inside of a text file)
copy_text_inside_file_to_clipboard $$1

Imagine how powerfull this would be, you could use FARR for so many things !
todo manager
code snippets manager
and so on

I really hope, i'll be able to do that ;)

In any case, keep up the good work mouser (and all others contributors), you are building a great app !!

Cheers, Nico

IMHO, case TWO is quite relevant !

2 examples come to my mind :

1) i'd like to use FARR as a code snippets finder, i have a growing list of snippets stored in text files (this is really easy to maintain and manage with great file explorer such a Directory Opus 8, but that's another subject), i'd love to do that :
type : snippet php
and boom all my php snippets right there and it's only snippets, it's not mixed with other things

2)i'd like to use FARR to launch AI Roboform passcard
same use :
robo bank
boom all my bank accounts right there (not so many :D)

I really think this would be quite amazing and so fast !

Cheers, Nico

@mouser,
i already did that, ;)

@nontroppo,
scanned directories are minimal (start menu + favorites, default stuff), sometimes FARR does not get my first few keypresses using the alt+space, it has nothing to do with building the search list (i guess  :))

Hi mouser,

i've tried many many times and i am under the impression that the alt+space is not as fast as the ctrl+space hotkey

Does that make any sense ?

and no it is not fast enough after the second time

I can just say that when i used AppRocket and Launchy, i've never noticed that behavior

I'll try remapping the alt+space to ctrl+space with autohotkey and make new tests, i'll get back to you

Cheers, Nico
