Sounds like great stuff, man! But you know, it is so easy?! People might get tired! Being all enthousiastic like that, wow!
But I guess it's still refreshing in the programming language world, better then reading long dry volumes of reference manuals.

Thanks for that. After consideration I have decided to recreate the program as a commandline program, it makes it more flexible. However I  have a problem displaying the results.

I am appending statuses to stdout. I know Autohotkey cannot display the stdout by itself:
http://www.autohotkey.com...commands/_ErrorStdOut.htm

Currently I have copied over cat.exe from GNUutils for windows and type this:

[copy or print]
level.exe |cat

However it would be good if I could use the one file to make it more portable.

I've attached a first version of my Level app and a screenshot. See what you think.

Yep I have used it extensively for two days and have found no other problems

Thank you very much I was pleasently suprised by your generousity. 

[topics]

Yeah But..
It makes sense that:

• if you want to see the recent topics(show recent topics) and click on an entry you want to read the topic (so from the start)
• if you want to see the latest posts (show recent posts) to a topic, and click on a topic you get sent to the last posts. (so at the end).

At the moment if you click on Show recent topics, then on a title you go to the last post. Or maybe I should just get used to it

I just noticed I always press the home key after opening topics. When we go to the recent topics list and click on a topic title we get sent to the last reply. It's good to see what the latest addition is but I think it would be better to get the context of the topic as it is unlikely we've already read it. So from that point of view it would make more sense to go to the topicstart instead.

Not a biggie but maybe something to think about.

I've created an AHK script that takes multiple folders and copies all files inside to a destination folder, making a flattened copy as it were. At the moment I specifiy the folders in the script but to make the script more general I would like to allow the user to specifiy an 'unknown' amount of input folders and one output folder.

What would be the way to go? I could create an ini file but am not sure how to read in unknown amount of keys? I've never created an interface like that either.

If there's interest I can encloses my standard_menu(1).ini enclosed if you want to use it, but I'm not sure if any other modification have been made to it compared to the stock Opera 9.2 menu.ini or your configuration.

Actually I noticed that as well. I'm sure there's a context menu item that would allow you to open the folder of any file. According to a forum user: (http://my.opera.com/commu...ms/findpost.pl?id=1958636)

Actually ... in 9.10 there was a bug in the Windows version, it ignored the Platform specifier in the menu setup.. We had a few complaints back with the first preview after 9.10 about this item disappearing, when the truth is that it wasn't supposed to have been displayed to begin with (though there is a wishlist topic on having it displayed).

In Windows, it is (currently) only supposed to be shown when you click on the "Transfer completed" notification.

Which explains why it is not there now but not how to enable it, so I keep digging:

http://my.opera.com/Tamil...-in-transfers-right-click
Create a new menu.ini (Tools -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Toolbars -> Duplicate menu setup.
Then go to your Opera profile directory (
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Opera\Opera\profile\ in my case) then into the MENU folder, edit the .ini there. go to line 1400 (in my case) and change it to:

[copy or print]
Item, 69697=Open transfer folder

Also, Opera has a Link panel, which gives you all the links on a page, you can then search through them, but not save them all out it seems.

If you'd use a site link checker like Xeno then you'd get all the links in a site including which ones do no longer work.

You can compete because people don't just want a working template. Also if they do they will always think of things to add / change afterwards or in the mean-time and then have noone that can do it for them.

Getting the template is the easy part, getting done what the client wants is the hard part, doing better then the needs of the client is why you're doing the job and not the machine.

Instead of wasting $989 on a sliced template for 13 pages, they better go to http://www.wordpress.com and sign up in 5 minutes for free.

Or buy any suit in Walmart /ASDA instead of going to a tailor with needs and a goal.

Until there is a database/index feature in FARR, how about a plugin that'll search the index made and maintained by Locate32?

Locate32 -> http://locate32.webhop.org/

Total Commander has a plugin that can search the Locate index, for ultra fast searches in the file manager. Take a look at this thread for details: http://www.ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?t=14087

Use Locate32 with FARR

Wow I didn't realise the Flex SDK was already free. It looks quite powerful and I assume this is a politcal move in order to boost their Apollo framework?

Apollo is the code name for a cross-operating system runtime being developed by Adobe that allows developers to leverage their existing web development skills (Flash, Flex, HTML, JavaScript, Ajax) to build and deploy rich Internet applications (RIAs) to the desktop.

Apollo enables developers to create applications that combine the benefits of web applications – network and user connectivity, rich media content, ease of development, and broad reach – with the strengths of desktop applications – application interactions, local resource access, personal settings, powerful functionality, and rich interactive experiences.

I wanted Locate32 to work with FARR but there's no document describing commandline options for the locate32 executable. after I noticed that the first word after locate32 that started with a dash lost part of the searchstring I knew I was on the right track...

After some fiddling I present you the results: If you want to search with locate32 from the command line you can use this:

[copy or print]
locate32 keyword

(to bring up the locate window with your keyword as the search, but it does not run)

[copy or print]
locate32 -r keyword

(to being up the locate window with search results for your keyword)
I couldn't find any documentation on any switches so I assume it's unofficial and might break in the future?? Maybe using some debug tool someone might find other switches, to search for extension for example.

To do this straight from FARR paste this as an preformatted alias group:

[copy or print]
1000>>>locate32>->loc $$1 |C:\Program Files\Locate\Locate32.exe -r $$1>+>^loc (.*)

or create a new alias like this screenshot (change the path to locate32.exe depending on where you installed it):
[attach]

 

[attach2]

BTW it shouldn't be hard to write a plugin to use the locate.exe executable to return the search results inside the FARR window, as locate.exe <keyword> does a search for keyword and returns all search results in a dosbox.

For months I have been looking for a good program to keep my preferences in sync between home and work. For example I have evernote and keepass databases, and opera bookmarks etc. I want to use the same data at work and at home, but I don't want to have to leave a PC on.

I've been using Syncback SE(slow comparison), synctoy (no ftp), allway sync (no ftp -- novell netdrive doesn't work in vista), foldershare (both pcs need to be online + annoying temp files) and looked at many other utilities who can't do ftp, or can only upload, or cannot create profiles, or cannot run them manually / scheduled...

I present Auto FTP:

Auto Ftp v2 is the new big brother of the original Auto Ftp. It can perform multiple ftp sessions simultaneously (fully multi-threaded). You can choose between straight file copy or synchronisation in either direction (local to remote or remote to local). Sessions can be started manually, timed, change triggered or daisy chained. Multiple sessions can be started from the command line making it a great batch file tool. Now you can have as many upload or download ftp sessions as you like configured and ready to go with one click.

It can schedule or run manually, upload / download / sync (oneway  ), doesn't cost hundred's of dollars. And by the looks of things it is quite a personal project! So it deserves some support and love.  http://www.glenn.delahoy.com/software/ plenty of other software gems to be had from the same author.

Ah thank you for that very informative explanation! So I guess at the most something like that could work if all the formats were propretiary to one company, in case they probably have made their software compatbile with one another already.

I have to say I have reinstalled FARR. Initially vista start menu search really impressed me enough to temporarily stop using FARR due to the preference location issue. However that is fixed and I find it annoying that you can't search for 'pad' to find notepad in vista, you'd have to use *pad* to include in-word strings. Too labor-intensive.

So I am back to FARR of course  , being able to search opera bookarmks is fantastic. Maybe in the future we can search notes as well, or even email?

Anyway, I found a small hardly worth mentioning dialogue box cutoff 'bug'. For completion sake I'll post a screenshot:

Don't alt-tab out of it while it is running, that locks up my Vista machine. (clicking on desktop with dual monitor eek). That said, it's fantastic and very enjoyable gameplay indeed well worth a try

[ASP]

ah yes a redirect, I'll test if this works here too. Sometimes the simplest solution is overlooked edit: Indeed it seems the UrlDownloadToFile function of AutoHotkey supports redirection perfectly.

The very simplest you can make something like this work I think would be:

[copy or print]
#SingleInstance,Force
#Persistent
SetBatchLines,-1
UrlDownloadToFile, http://www.some.url/some.asp, c:\temp\destinat.ion
ExitApp
Return

With (my asp/vbscript example): (some.asp)

Formatted for ASP with the GeSHI Syntax Highlighter [copy or print]
<%@LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT" CODEPAGE="1252"%><%
Option Explicit
Response.Buffer = True
 
' Permanent redirection
Response.Status = "301 Moved Permanently"
Response.AddHeader "Location", "http://www.some.url/redirect.exe"
Response.End
%>

Technical implementation is then not really a reason why not to support a 'latest' redirection link.

Have you tried QT Tabbar? This would at least reduce the amount of folders open in the taskbar to 1 (with tabs).

Alternatively FileBox Extender could add shortcuts to your favourite folders in open/save dialogues and from the system tray.

This is how I manage mine in a similar role as yours. You can also create a new toolbar in the taskbar, point it to the folder of your choosing (either a folder with shortcuts to your favourite folders or the 1 folder you are using) and have one-click access to it directly from the taskbar.

Also, for example, some DVD players arte DIVX certified so that they can read data DVDs with DIVX on them. They're not all that expansive and you can find a list on the DIVX website.

If you have ever used BeOS you might recall they had a system called translator kits [1][2]. Basically you could add kits to the OS to enable reading / writing to a particular filetype. So you had a GIF translator kit, PNG etc. Any appllication with support for translator kits could then use these file formats.

Seeing how often particular software on Windows does not support a filetype (Try converting SVG files to PNG for instance, fireworks and photoshop don't support them, illustrator doesn't have a batch mode etc), I would have thought the translator kits idea would be a popular way to solve a major computing annoyance? Why is this not the case? How much better would it be if Windows had a centally managed filetype reading writing mechanism with addins provided similar to how they extend the indexing service at the moment (probably the addins would be very similar? a PDF indexing service addin already allows the indexing service to read and make sense of pdfs)

It seems to me (but I am not a programmer) that they already do it for video and music files: both AVI and MOV files for example are just container formats that support codecs. Why couldn't we have an .ADOBE container format with the codecs for all their software, or ultimately just .graphic, .music that can be opened by any program supporting the container (which the codecs doing the read/write to the software)? Or the end of file extensions.

Interesting idea or am I just clueless   ?

Wow.  Here are 92 different implementations in PHP. A lot of them are free.

Basically what you do is set up an connection to the download and binary write it to the browser with the right mime type. If you want to understand how it works or create your own implementation I found the following link from about.com
