very cool!!

But since the enter key currently has no use in the plugin when the input box has focus, maybe I can modify it so that the enter redoes the search and immediately loads the first match. Let me look into that.

there is actually an easy way to do this.  the new plugin api and new fscript api pass an additional variable to the OnSearch functions named triggermethod, which is 1 when user has hit enter to complete their search and 0 otherwise.  it's made for exactly the purpose you are talking about here.  we just need ecaradec to give us a sample of how to make the fscript.js use the new feature.

Nod5:
Mouser, that sounds perfect!

Given a variable in fscript.js that reflects if enter was pressed then I just need to modify the passed parameter (from the current "album.html?phrase1 phrase2 phrase3" to for example "album.html?enter=1&search=phrase1 phrase2 phrase3") and make album.html immediately send the first match to the external player if enter=1 .

BTW, I first thought that the plugin part for this idea could be made redundant once FARR gets a built in way to load a html view mode page without pressing enter (i.e. if "dosearch htmlviewurl..." worked). But for more advanced features like different behaviour for regex match versus pressing enter a plugin seems necessary.

edit: I found a bug with my plugin: If I type "alb abc%" then the percent sign crashes FARR in a barrage of error messages, the first saying "invalid hex digit in URL". I guess I need to block certain characters in the fscript.js...

TucknDar:
Finally got around to trying this plugin, and I'm really liking it! Is there a way to let me display all albums? like typing "alb *" or something?

Good work!

CWuestefeld:
What exactly does this work from? Is it the image files that WMP leaves around, or some source on the web, or what?

Lashiec:
The JavaScript file included says it shows the "folder.jpg" file contained in the specified path (I guess that also includes subfolders). That's a defacto standard, so it should work with most media players, although it would be nice if a few more frequent naming conventions were included.

EDIT: Rewording
