Find And Run Robot / Re: Need help with running FARR in portable mode on a USB drive

« on: May 03, 2010, 12:16 PM »

thanks mouser.

sorry, i didn't mean to ask a question that had the answer several times, in the very thread i asked it, but i wondered if the info was old and read about some complications.

thanks mouser and your FARR buddies

i've just downloaded v2.86.01 and extracted it into an empty FARR directory.

i expected to get an ini once i ran the FindAndRunRobot.exe but it found my old settings. what else do i have to do to set it up so i can run it on a UFD?

i keep my favourite utilities and other portable things in a directory on my desktop that i sync with my UFD to use everywhere else.

i use win7 and XP on a desktop and a netbook.

thanks for this list, i need to have a good read of it now and test some things out. i can't get plugins happening yet but all i have tried was 'find and reload...'

heh. it must look like hell with all the absolute padding :S

i was mainly only aiming to get the elements of main display plotted (located?). then i was going to run back over it and see what could be done to make it simpler. then i can just run a mirror of it onto two smaller displays either side of it. (adding controls to the main display's Grid too)

I think it only needs some 1/3 and 2/3 spaces, I find those very useful (browser on the 2/3 and IM on 1/3 ).

elements 1 and 2 are!

my display is 16:10. i designed my Grid by dividing quarters for height and sixths for width, as a region guide. after some testing i chose 15/24, 9/24 both at 3/4 height. after my next edit i will have tried adding the option of 'full height' to each one in a similar way to the overlapping "centre" triggers of elements 3 and 4 (choice of half or 3/4 display size; centred).

thanks jgpaiva apart from needing this i have actually had a bit of fun messing around with the little orange boxes.

i'm posting my Grrrid! without screenshots for now as it is incomplete and 'cause i'm half dead at the moment.

to do:
* add other display layouts.
* add links to plugins.
* fiddle with triggers 13, 14, 15, 16, 17. (create big big targets or remain unobtrusive?)
