Find And Run Robot / Re: portable version keeps making a folder in mydocuments and storing settings there

« on: October 04, 2019, 04:55 AM »

Sorry Mouser, ConfigDir.ini is what I had renamed it too.
I moved the folder to the root of the C: drive and now it works as portable
Perhaps adding advice to the Note_for_Portable-Use.txt about not putitng it in Programs dir would be an idea.

Find And Run Robot / portable version keeps making a folder in mydocuments and storing settings there

« on: October 03, 2019, 09:35 AM »

I donloaded the latest version, portable, put it in a folder called Portables in my program files folder
I uncommented the lines
PORTABLE=TRUE
CONFIGDIR = .
in the Confi_Dir_Default.ini
but it still stores it's setting in mydocuments folder not in the portable dir
I also tried making a copy of the Config_Dir_Default.ini file and calling it Config.ini but still no luck
Suggestions?

Find And Run Robot / where's the info on skinning?

« on: January 08, 2012, 04:09 AM »

Where can I find out about how to make a skin, well actually I just want to know how to modify the skin called "Slender"  basically I want it all black to match my desktop
Obviously someone knows how to or they wouldn't have been able to make skins

Find And Run Robot / auto adding to group alias feature

« on: December 19, 2011, 05:33 AM »

When I say auto adding to group alias I mean if the files are all in one folder like
I have a group alias called simply   txt
In the results section I have added the paths to the txt files
D:\PROGRAM FILES\PORTABLE APPS IN HERE\FindAndRunRobotnew\my notes\todo note.txt
D:\PROGRAM FILES\PORTABLE APPS IN HERE\FindAndRunRobotnew\my notes\fartips.txt
D:\PROGRAM FILES\PORTABLE APPS IN HERE\FindAndRunRobotnew\my notes\workings.txt
D:\PROGRAM FILES\PORTABLE APPS IN HERE\FindAndRunRobotnew\my notes\HotKeys in use.txt
D:\PROGRAM FILES\PORTABLE APPS IN HERE\FindAndRunRobotnew\my notes\web clippings.txt
D:\PROGRAM FILES\PORTABLE APPS IN HERE\FindAndRunRobotnew\my notes\todolist.lnk
D:\PROGRAM FILES\PORTABLE APPS IN HERE\FindAndRunRobotnew\my notes\Thoughts.txt

they are all in the same folder called mynotes
every time I add a new text file to the folder I have to manually open options and add the path to them to the group alias.
It would be great if this wasn't necessary

Find And Run Robot / Re: Find And Run Robot (FARR) - Features You Should Know About

« on: December 19, 2011, 05:25 AM »

On my pc the speed is great and if it was faster I would not be able to detect it with my human sight - maybe the inside pc god would know

so far my fav. feature is the group alias, so I have
/  to bring up a list of my fav. folders
txt    to bring up a list of my most used text files like todo, addresslist etc.
web  to bring up a list of my fav web sites

I also like the buit in terms like
maps
define
wiki

I tried to use it for the first time by typing gcal and I got a pop up that said
It looks like this is the first time you are using Farrgoogle calender please configure the plugin.
How exactly do I do that - there is no help text file or anything.

wbmadill had the same problem (see previous page) but got no advice

Find And Run Robot / Re: suggestion/Wish minimal gui

Try choosing a custom search background color with slenderFarr skin. That removed the flickering for me.

Hey that's a great tip - it works for me too - much happier now

LOL, well that part was easy 
now if there was a way to get rid of the title bar above the input text box.
or make it as minimal as possible?

Find And Run Robot / suggestion/Wish minimal gui

« on: December 15, 2011, 04:25 AM »

I would love the option to not have the title bar above the input box or the two icons to the side of it (Help and Options)
I like a more minimal look
I tried the slender farr skin but the input box would flicker noticably when I was inputting text.
To me FARR is better in operations to the other good ones I tried like, Executor, Keybreeze and Launchy
but it is least attractive

Find And Run Robot / bigger thumbnails of images?

« on: December 03, 2011, 01:08 PM »

I have a folder where I keep pictures for sending by emal, it is one of those folders FARR is  set to search
so if I type   cat it shows thumbnails of some cat pics, great feature - trouble is they are too small to see easily it would be nice to have larger thumbnails for pictures - of course you would get less in the list and have to scroll etc.

I have a autohotkey script(fures version of 320mph) that is like a launcher and it shows picture nicely here is a screen shot

The macro recorder that comes with AutoHotkey is the worst on to use! really dont know why they haven't updated it - there are better ones made by users -you have to check the forums - I havent used them in a long time - I think one was calley Easy.ahk
If I had to go back to a macro maker I would use V.task studio

Find And Run Robot / setting to exit FARR after search?

« on: September 10, 2011, 04:54 AM »

I would prefer not to have FARR running all the time but have it automatically quit after doing a search/launch  I cant find a setting for this. Is there a way of achieving this. I use AutoHotkey and would prefer to sumon FARR with a hotkey when I want it and then have it exit until next time I want to call it from my autohotkey keyboard shortcut.

Post New Requests Here / IDEA skrommels do or del but different angle

« on: September 09, 2011, 02:59 AM »

Skrommels Do or Del script = at the moment if you dont type in the correct pass on startup it deletes certain "sensitive folders"
I would like something similar but instead of Deleting if it could just protect them somehow - like scrambling/encrypting the contents or stopping the folder from being opened?
