Find And Run Robot / Custom memo fixed font
« on: February 14, 2014, 10:44 AM »
Is it possible to customize the fixed font used in "memo"? By default it uses the standard bitmap "Fixed" font. I'd rather use a decent fixed width font like consolas. I thought I'd seen an option like that in the past but can't find it now - maybe I was hallucinating  :)

Find And Run Robot / Backing up FARR settings
« on: April 28, 2013, 07:12 AM »
OK, this may be a silly question, but how do I back up my FARR settings? I guess I could back up the whole FARR application directory and restore that over the top of a new install - but that seems a bit heavy handed. How can I tell which files are "user settings" I need to back up and restore?

Thanks,
Paul

Find And Run Robot / Run a program with file(s) selected in Explorer
« on: March 21, 2013, 05:43 PM »
Is it possible with FARR to select a file in Explorer, then activate FARR, select a program, and have that program open the file selected in Explorer?

What I'm thinking of is being able to edit any file in Vim (my text editor) by finding the file in Explorer, then getting FARR to run Vim on that file. Sort of like an explorer context menu item, but using FARR.

Find And Run Robot / Execute a command line rather than just a program
« on: June 13, 2011, 08:52 AM »
For some uses, I'd like to be able to use FARR as a replacement for the Windows Run box (or Bayden SlickRun, or similar programs). In that situation, I want to be able to type a full command line, not just a program name. Two examples:
  • putty username@servername
  • gvim some.file.name

I know about the ++ syntax to add command line arguments, but in this case I don't want to have to type anything but the command line as it stands - my muscle memory is used to typing "putty xxx@yyy", so I want to stick with that. One option would be to have an alias executing "cmd ++ /c $$1" but (a) these are not console commands, so I'd rather avoid using the console, and (b) I can't get this to work anyway :-[

Is there a way of simply passing a command direct to Windows CreateProcess()? [For bonus points, if I could specify the working directory to use, that would be even better!] I'm pretty sure I could do this by writing a plugin - but do I need to?

Thanks,
Paul.

Find And Run Robot / Scrolling the output of appcapappendmemo
« on: April 23, 2010, 11:25 AM »
I'd really like appcapappendmemo, if it wasn't for one thing - once the memo area is full, new text is added at the bottom, but the area is not scrolled to show the latest text. So the user has to scroll to the bottom manually, and it's no use for programs that show an ongoing status message (for example, ping -t).

How easy would it be to add scroll-to-bottom behaviour to appcapappendmemo - either as an option or as default behaviour?

Thanks,
Paul.
