76  DonationCoder.com Software / FARR Plugins and Aliases / Re: FARR plugin: Akete on: January 19, 2013, 07:58:59 PM
Tentatively made a git repository available containing code with various additions, removals, etc.

Changes include:

  • Context menu items for folders
  • Option to use file associations from Q-Dir
  • Option to use file associations from Xenon
  • Statusbar icon with menu in FARR main window
  • Configuration via FARR's web view
  • FScript.dll with some fixes
  • Removal of some features from previous experimental version (sorry, no keyword)

See first post for README.txt.

I'm using the method described here to open the Windows Shutdown dialog from FARR.

Basically, you just have to put a shortcut to a text file called e.g. Shutdown.js with the following line

(new ActiveXObject("Shell.Application")).ShutdownWindows();

somewhere where FARR can find it.

Nice tip thumbs up



On a side note, it appears to work in Windows 7.

Did my first interactive rebase today -- great stuff  thumbs up

Wanted to see if SmartGit has some nice GUI for it and found:

  http://smartgit.3668570.n2.nabble.com/Interactive-rebasing-td7572897.html

Don't know if there's anything there yet -- have you come across anything?

Based on:

  What's New in SmartGit/Hg 4?

Looks like there is more support for interactive rebasing in version 4.x:

Before pushing, you can cleanup your commits visually (except of merge commits): reorder commits by using drag and drop, join adjacent commits or edit commit messages.

In each case, this was for commits that have not been pushed (anywhere?) yet.

Something like Ctrl+B for Blur would be nice.

Here the following sequence works:

Alt+X
B
Enter

Perhaps this isn't ideal and you'd already thought of it, but FWIW smiley

ease of cleaning

+1 for this -- after many rounds of hard-to-clean objects, the brain here seems to be more likely to remember to check for this sort of thing smiley
81  Main Area and Open Discussion / General Software Discussion / Possible Solution to: Some Firefox Addons Using an Undesired Language on: January 17, 2013, 10:55:26 PM
Recently I noticed that a number of installed Firefox addons were using a language different from what they used to.  The language I had been expecting was some kind of English, but what was being used was some non-English language.  Investigating a bit, came across:

  how can I force addons to be displayed in English?

This sounded similar to the situation here and there didn't seem to be a solution mentioned that didn't involve a fair bit of reinstalling and reconfiguring.

Tried removing addons one by one and eventually discovered that disabling (or removing) a version of the Pencil addon seemed to fix things.

So perhaps selective addon-disabling/removal is a potentially helpful approach...



For the record, had manually installed the seemingly problematic addon via an .xpi, so perhaps I had that coming as (at the moment anyway) there doesn't appear to be a version compatible with the version of FF here:

On a similar note, I'd appreciate a hotkey for repeating the last SpecialFX.

(I also use Blur a fair bit and when I happen to be using GIMP, I use Ctrl+F / Filters -> Repeat Last.)

In the main window, the field which gets focused upon pressing tab seems odd to me starting from the Name: field.

My expectation was to see the focus in the larger text area, but what I observe is that one of the images in the screenshot panel gets the focus instead.
87  DonationCoder.com Software / N.A.N.Y. 2013 / Re: N.A.N.Y 2013 Submission - CommandPromptHere for FARR on: January 13, 2013, 02:19:45 AM
BTW, can you add some one-letter shortcuts to the command prompt entry, the same as other menu entries, so that we can open a cmd without clicking?

From your screenshot it looks like you're using the submenu functionality.  A quick hack that might improve upon the arrow key work-around mentioned earlier is:

1. Update to version 0.0.0.4 of the plugin
2. Find the function named augmentContextMenuForPath in the file lib/optv2.js
3. Change the code:

Formatted for Javascript with the GeSHI Syntax Highlighter [copy or print]
  1.        pu.buildSubmenuStartString({caption: "Prompt Here...",

to:

Formatted for Javascript with the GeSHI Syntax Highlighter [copy or print]
  1.        pu.buildSubmenuStartString({caption: "Prompt &Here...",

The effect of this should be to make the submenu accessible via typing the H key (assuming the context menu for the result is already displayed).



So once the submenu is brought up using the H key, one of the following should invoke the desired command prompt:

Case 1:

The desired submenu item starts with a letter which no other submenu item starts with.  In this case, just typing the first letter in the desired submenu item should invoke the appropriate submenu item.

Case 2:

The desired submenu item starts with a letter which at least one other submenu item also starts with.  In this case, type the first letter the appropriate number of times until the desired submenu item is highlighted.  Then press Enter to invoke the submenu item.

IIUC, the behavior described above in cases 1 and 2 is pretty common in Windows.



Do you think this is good enough?  If not, do you have an alternate suggestion?

I know the idea above is not ideal for the case of not using the submenu, so I'd like to come up with a better idea.

Uploaded a new version which includes support for a history of paths.

See README.txt for more details -- in first post or included in plugin.



Hope to have some good news regarding the suggestion from oumu.

I didn't think it would be doable, but I just tried an experiment and it looks like something might be possible.  Will investigate further.

In the mean time, this is probably less than ideal, but I believe tapping on the down arrow key an appropriate number of times might be a luke-warm work-around.

The smoothness and speed is definitely worth it. cheesy

That sounds good!  Especially because I felt quite the opposite with the Note upgrade.
96  Main Area and Open Discussion / General Software Discussion / Re: Android 3.2 to 4.0 Upgrade on Tab on: January 04, 2013, 12:40:52 AM
Thanks for sharing the good news -- I didn't find an upgrade on the Note to be a plus and consequently held off on upgrading an SGT 10.1 here.

Now that I've heard some good news, may be I will go through with it smiley

This year:

  • Kept wishing for good ways to automate testing of GUI code.
  • Thankful for DVCS (was git this time around), editor, and other tools.
  • Grateful for a responsive application author Wink
  • Appreciated languages which have something like require / include built in -- which JScript does not...
