Find And Run Robot / FARR doesn't display icons for exes in path
« on: October 28, 2020, 04:36 AM »
I've noticed that FARR doesn't display an icon for programs that are in path.

I have an alias with lists some consoles:
1000>>>>->Windows Terminal | wt.exe>n>Conemu | D:\util\conemu\conemu64.exe>n>Powershell as admin | pwsh.exe /runasadmin>+>^cmd$

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?
where pwsh
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.

Find And Run Robot / Bug: drag and drop files doesn't always work
« on: November 13, 2017, 07:22 AM »
I've noticed that sometimes drag and drop is not working as intended. I can usually find a file in FARR, drag it from the search results and drop it to some other app to do an action.
For example dragging an mp3 to foobar2000 will add it to the playlist, dragging any file to desktop will copy it there etc.

I've noticed that it doesn't always work, for example dragging and dropping to a new message window in Outlook doesn't do anything. I expect it to attach the file to the message.

Hi,
I've noticed a bug with the display of result list.
When scrolling trough results with keyboard, the list doesn't scroll down to show the selected item.

Steps to reproduce:
  • Search for something that has more than 9 results (or whaterver results are visible in the list)
  • Press keyboard down arrow to browse trough the list
  • Try to press down to select item that is offscreen (ie. the 10th item in my example)

The item is actually selected, but you can't see what is selected, because the list doesn't scroll to show the selected item.
If you now press the up key on the keyboard and try to go past the first item, the selected item is now the last item in the list, and the list scrolls to show it. When pressing up further the list follows the selected item.

So works for up, broken for down.

I hope someone understood my rambling.   :-[

Find And Run Robot / Display issue after latest update
« on: May 26, 2017, 02:55 AM »
Hi, after the latest update I noticed a small display issue with FARR.

Basically, after the first start the window looks like this:

After the first search, it resets back to normal, and then it works normally until FARR process is restarted.

Find And Run Robot / Using alias action keywords
« on: August 18, 2015, 03:12 AM »
I am wondering is it possible to use alias action modifier keywords but to use the selected file's directory as an argument for the action, istead of the full filename?

I have an alias setup to search my projects folder, only for sln files. This is my use case:

Input:
cc demo

Result:
C:\projects\MyProject\MyProjectDemo.sln
C:\projects\Other\DemoOther.sln
...


Now, I want to be able to append +cmd to the search string and basically the results don't change, but if I press enter on one of the results, I would get a command prompt open in the folder containing the selected sln file.
