Exit farr and delete that file "D:\FindAndRunRobot\Plugins\FarrFox\advoptions.cfg.tmp" and "D:\FindAndRunRobot\Plugins\FarrFox\advoptions.cfg" and restart.

i noticed that in another thread, CC reported that KlipKeeper is also showing some error msg on startup. maybe this is a case of Farr's settings being corrupted due to improper shutdown e.g. hard reboot or power failure..

released:

Version 2.59.01 - May 15, 2009
  • [Feature] - Added launch command "appcapappendmemo" to show console tool output as it runs instead of at end.
  • [Feature] - Added launch command "tempmemofont" to temporarily switch memo font to fixed font (useful for some console tools which use spacing/tabs).
  • [MinorFeature] - Added $$h1 available in aliases like $$u1, for useful encoding for curl commandline.
  • [BugFix] - Folder icons were not being displayed properly since v. 2.57.01.
  • [Feature] - Added troubleshooting log in options dialog -- can be used to log debug/troubleshooting info.
  • [Feature] - Plugins that crash the program on load are now auto-detected and temporarily disabled.
  • [BugFix] - Large icon results sometimes resulted in too small window during autosizing.
  • [MinorFeature] - You can now choose how to handle large 48x48 icons when the windows system is configured to use Large Icons, and these will display properly.

mouser, it looks like console output is never cleared out. My console memo keeps getting longer and longer everytime I invoke an alias via appcapappendmemo

edit: I was using  the alias the wrong way. It works fine now after your example in other post.

I do and since reinstalling KlipKeeper to fix bug I haven't had the FarrFox error and the FarrFox\advoptions.cfg.tmp file is gone  :huh:

We'll see what happens when I update FARR... ;) BTW is it too soon for updater to see new version?

hopefully i didn't break anything in this update -- i heard a report from dc member JoTo that somehow since version 2.56.02 the czb plugin pack plugins (jscalc in particular) are crashing his farr, so i'm looking into that.

the new appcap stuff (especially appcappappendmemo) should make it easier to run commandline tools and see their output in FARR window.

with v2.60.01 I now get no icon at all when disabling SlideNum, regardless if I have large or small icon mode on.
(I'm posting this to the other thread too -- just needed a post here to get notified when the thread is updated in the future  :))

v2.60.02 is on the server as a silent update (i.e. wont show up as an update on the updater) and should fix the slide number issue.
so just right click on farr and say to update even though same version, and it should fix it.

going to download v2.60.02, hopefully Nod5's problems will be fixed with this release. :)

also mouser, a working example on the usage of appcap and appcappappendmemo would be nice.

Problem solved in v2.60.02! I appreciate the great work you do on FARR.  :Thmbsup:
I'm also interested to hear more about the appcapp commands. Can they be used to integrate FARR and Everything easier for example?

I believe not, as for what I know it only works versus console commands/programs (cmd, ping, ipconfig and etc.)

Mouser, if accidentally I type
ping google.com -t
FARR won't search any further untill I kill the ping process.
Killing the process when hitting ESC, would be an option here, wouldn't you think?

Besides that, great update.  :up:

I found an appcap example here (must have missed that thread earlier):
https://www.donation....msg164396#msg164396
here's a sample alias:
pingtest | tempmemofont fixed;;;showmemo Output of Ping:;;;appcapappendmemo c:\windows\system32\ping.exe donationcoder.com

Here's an example alias that uses es.exe to command-line search Everything and output 10 results in memomode
1000>>>zzz2>->test | showmemo Everything search: $$1;;;appcapappendmemo C:\Program\Everything\es.exe -n 10 "$$1">+>zzz (.*)

is there a way to run appcap commands from Farr's address bar without creating an alias? it'd be faster that way if i want to check the output from a console app.

you can use the included core run alias to do anything you would do from an alias, but perhaps it would be useful to include one just for appcap.
so for example you can do currently:

run showmemo Pinging;;;appcapappendmemo c:\windows\system32\ping.exe www.donationcoder.com

but perhaps a new alias would be better like:

runcap (.*)
which did
showmemo Running $$1;;;appcapappendmemo $$1

Here is is for you to import, but i think ill add it to defaults since it seems pretty useful:
1000>>>runcap>->Run and Capture $$1|showmemo Running $$1;;;appcapappendmemo $$1>+>runcap (.*)

with that alias you could just type: runcap ping.exe donationcoder.com

which would have same effect of typing run ping.exe donationcoder.com *except* that with runcap the output is shown in farr window.

Mouser, I've got a couple of TrueCrypt volumes listed in my Search Folders list - drives  M:\ and N:\.  In the last couple of versions (I finally just figured it out today though) I keep losing them...  they all turn into C:\.  Didn't used to happen - but it seems to be an issue now every time I turn off my computer (or maybe just unmount the volumes?  I haven't explored further).

Becoming a real pain to have to re-configure my search folders every time I start my computer...  I'm hoping it'd be an easy fix?

Let me know if you need any more specific information about it.  I'm running 2.60.01 on WinXP SP3 and I think it was happening at least in the version immediately prior to this as well.

Thanks!

UPDATE:  Just figured it out.  Happens not when the volumes become unmounted, but on restart when FARR launches before the TrueCrypt volumes are mounted the first time.  So apparently when FARR launches it looks for the drive letters in Search Folders and if doesn't find them it resets them back to C:\.  Hope that helps.  Thanks again!

i know why it's happening -- i added some more advanced folder drive auto-fixing suitable for people with removable drives.
what i can do is add an option to disable this.

question:
in the search directory entries, do you actually have them listed as "N:\"
or is it more like "N:\Program Files\" , i.e. specifies a directory which also exists on C:.

the reason i ask is that i thought i coded it so that it never reassigned just a plain drive letter.
