(1/12) > >>

nitrix-ud:
Wouah !

i must say it really looks impressive

if i had to take a guess i would say this is the closest alternative to quicksilver on windows

mouser:
Looks pretty good - i'd appreciate hearing any features people see in dash that you think are missing from FARR.

nitrix-ud:
yes it does look amazingly good, i've just seen the video and i will try it out soon

few things that seems great :

* the ability to select files to perform actions on them (zip) ...

* image preview

* image resizing

* it just looks gorgeous

* Contextual history

Farr also does, it's only a matter of making an alias action to do that ;)


* image preview

yep, that's useful


* image resizing

Also a matter of making an action, but trickier since there's no preview. (also, i don't find this very useful)

Indeed it does! I also agree that farr can lose some points in "beauty", when compared to other launchers. BUT, it alows you to see a bunch of entries at the same time, while others need some kind of keypress to show more results.

I'm not sure what this means..

to my knowledge you cannot select files in the explorer, invoke FARR and zip files
i agree that you can make an alias to zip files but FARR is not aware of selected files out of the box

image resizing

again you cannot, same reason as above

Contextual history

it seems that if you search Google using their google command, it will show your past searches (using that command)
i find this very useful

Maybe we should also mention what makes FARR unique !!
from the top of my head :

* alias with regex mask

* dosearch, restartsearch, /strayopen, $$cc

* action alias << very very important !!!
