new launcher just released
jgpaiva:
few things that seems great :
the ability to select files to perform actions on them (zip) ...

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

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

Right.. I see your point. I also wonder how can they do that, detect what's selected when the program is launched. Does anyone have a clue?
Also, does that work in alternative file explorers?
But.. You can drag and drop a file on to farr, and then type the action followed by enter :)
Contextual history
I'm not sure what this means..

it seems that if you search Google using their google command, it will show your past searches (using that command)

That can be useful for people who make url searches, i see.
That first part gave me an idea. Mouser: how about having another farr variable to be used in aliases: title/class of active window when farr was called. That'd be extremelly useful for window management alias such as this one.

interesting idea, and since FARR does keep track of past search histories by default i could add this as an option without too much trouble..

i'm trying Dash, and i have to say the ergonomy is quite amazing...
* Folder navigation is great ! when you enter a folder, the sorting is alphabetical, then if you search, the more relevant results come first... then you choose a folder, again the sorting is alphabetical, etc.
* the way it presents the command you choose, then the argument(s) (after pressing tab or space) is really nice (above the search box it shows : Google Search > keyword)
* it is VERY fast (which i doubted before trying...)
* the way it presents what you search against the current search result (like quicksilver)
* there is a sound when you select an action, which makes more sense to me than when invoking the launcher, and it actually makes you wait a little bit :D
i think there are great ideas there !
IMHO, it puts any launcher to shame except for our beloved FARR :Thmbsup:

can you elaborate on this a bit?
Grorgy:
Given its price it would need to offer some pretty serious performance given the number of free alternatives which do much the same thing.
