All the settings are in the FindAndRunRobot.ini file, aliases are stored in *.alias files and plugins are in plugins directory. Just make sure this files are preserved and you should be fine.

I would usually restrict the results of a search folder by including the -\ in the alias that utilizes the search folder, instead of the folder setting itself.

I've noticed that FARR doesn't display an icon for programs that are in path.

I have an alias with lists some consoles:

The icons for pwsh.exe and wt.exe aren't shown in the result list.


Powershell is located in C:\Program Files\PowerShell\7\pwsh.exe, and when I set the absolute path in the alias, the icon is shown. I am guessing that FARR doesn't know how to resolve the exe when it's in path to get the icon from it? points to the correct location from cmd, I am sure there is a way for FARR to determine the exe location as well.

Windows terminal is a whole other beast, since it is installed as "Windows10 app", however it's called. The actual exe is located in C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_1.3.2651.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\wt.exe, which I guess changes with each version. The wt.exe that is in path is located in C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\wt.exe, and that is a zero length file. I am guessing it is a link of some sort, but it doesn't look like a symbolic or a hard link. This file however doesn't have an icon. I have no idea how to even try to solve this.

I am currently getting arround this with setting custom icons with /icon= alias keyword, but it would be awesome if FARR could manage on it's own.
