That sounds like your work around does just what I'm looking for as well. As mouser suggested, I hope it can turn out to be a little simpler in the end, but I'll give yours a shot too when I get a chance! the great thing about using flashfolder as an intermediary, is that it works with office dialog and many other right out of the box  |

May I suggest a plug-in to embed GUI's in the new graphical view called : "UserWindowMode", for advanced user interface.  ( I've seen it here : ) |

Someone wrote about a standalone mini utility which basically just provides a simple interface to the Answers.com page for asking questions: http://www.deefrag.com/blog/?p=42 It seems to me that it would be a useful use of the FARR web browser window to make an interface to a few of these q&a type sites. Maybe even a way to query multiple sites and show them in one window or something? |

A screensaver controller plugin would be nice. It would show a list of all known screensavers you could choose from to trigger immediately, plus maybe options to disable/renable screenaver.
A wallpaper manager plugin would also be nice to let you choose a background image to set as your wallpaper.
A resolution changer plugin would be nice too (i think this could probably be done simply with an alias group and a commandline tool for changing plugins).

Both the screensaver and wallpaper stuff should also be possible through alias+command line tools. nircmd can at least enable/disable screensaver and start the default one, while Irfanview can set wallpaper (centered/tiled/stretched). I'll try to make some alias for these things in a day or two. Just starting to delve into the more advanced alias features, so should be good practice  |

the screensaver and wallpaper ones are trickier because idealy one would want to show a file list to let the user choose from.
this is actually possible using an alias, but you may need dc user nitrix to show you how to do it using an alias and the dosearch alias command.

yes, nitrix has made some amazing aliases! I'll still look into it. Will learn something along the way |

This leads to the following request: Allow aliases to have place holders to be filled by other alias' or commands results. This means: Instead of $$2 or something you could write ${restartsearch new input} which would cause a new (virtual) instance of FARR to appear with input "new input". Somehow also certain plugin functions could be used this way. Example: my_alias: Hey, that's it | run ${restartsearch $$1 +somefolders}/bar.exe which would do the following (I hope so): 1. I enter "my_alias foo" and press enter 2. The input is replaced by "foo +somefolders" 3. I see a list of results (assuming that +somefolders is a modifier which causes only music folders to be displayed) 4. I choose a certain folder, e.g. "C:/this_is_so_foo" 5. Technically the search returns to the alias, which would add "/bar.exe" and then run it: 6. run C:/this_is_so_foo/bar.exe is executed If there were more ${...} parts these would have been opened before executing the command. I guess the implentation of this might be much easier if the command stack I mentioned in some suggestions about FARR would be implemented first. I see that problems with recursion might occur here. Perhaps there should be a depth limit (the user himself could set it). |

herojoker:
That is VERY along the lines discussed in previous requests, specifically for "actions" to be added to farr.
This probably isn't the right topic to discuss it (previous talks quicky rose to a few pages of posts), maybe we should start a new thread or continue at the last ones.

Another plugin idea: Searching for songs via meta data.
For example MP3 files may have so called ID3 tags which contain information like Album Title, Track Number etc.
I have no idea whether it takes much performance to search for a given text in many MP3s but perhaps it's possible. Creating an index is possible too (many music players do that, then called Library or something similar).

Something I tried to do by myself - but seems to have too little knowledge: Notes outliner (or notes manager).There are lots of this kind (see http://www.outlinersoftwa...t/807/0/list-of-outliners for example). Still, they are mostly a huge pile of tree structure, difficult to manage. It hit my mind that maybe the keyword navigation on FARR can do better. I personally tried to embed an IE based HTML editor (there are many free ones on the WEB) in the "igo" window. I even managed to be able to save the file, but to load it is another thing (from FARR command line). Seems that any real programmer can do better than me. It is an idea, I wonder if doable at all.  |

echo, you should try the tiddlywiki samples that come built into the new farr: http://www.donationcoder....m/index.php?topic=13673.0just type: gwp or tiwi --- however: i do think that a nice tag-based note taker plugin is needed and it's one of the plugins i'd like to work on. |

mouser do you think it is possible to pass aruments or name of the new page to gwp or tiwi in the type bar prior to launching them inside FARR?
For example
"gwp books to read" would create a page books to read and open gwp?

I've wanted to write it by my own but I still have VCBuild.exe errors for C# SDK so... Maybe someone could write a plugin for ObjectGraph dictionaries: http://www.objectgraph.com/dictionary/ |

another plugin feature that i've been thinking about is to input RSS feeds into Farr and display the items.

I'd like to second allen's request for a built-in text editor. I use text files to store idea snippets in a Reference folder, but it's a waste of time having to open up the text editor or Windows Explorer from FARR each time I want to view or edit the files. Some features I'd like to see if someone does decide to make such a plugin are: - Hotkey compatible (undo, save, ctrl+bksp!!) - Cancel changes by escaping out of FARR - Copy/Cut/Paste compatible with Klipkeeper - Create new files by typing the name of the file with the plugin alias Thanks in advance! |

It's the same suggestion I made for AltTab plugin: http://www.donationcoder....10988.msg134438#msg134438but maybe it would be more viable as a standalone plugin. Basically, double clicking (or clicking) tray icons by typing respective program names (window captions?) in FARR... This would make mouseless system management much more complete! |

Cant you just use aliases with: igo http://docs.google.com/?action=newdocigo http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?newigo http://docs.google.com/?action=new_presentationand to see already created documents: igo http://docs.google.com/#allAll shortcuts like ctrl+s, ctrl+z work there Edit: if there was a demand for it I could try to write a plugin using google docs api If you like offline version you can always use zoho with google gears |

a cool idea for a plugin might be one that keeps statistics of how many times you have run farr, how many launches, avg time typing in farr, keys typed, etc.
