Find And Run Robot / Keeping FARR open and on top

« on: March 20, 2007, 10:34 PM »

I've been poking around the OPTIONS settings, and I'm so close to getting FARR set to operate just the way I want, I can't believe I can't find the last "perfect setting."

I have:
[check] NumPad keys launch results from search window
[no check] Close Window After Launch
[check] Always Maintain Focus

I want all launches to behave like I'd right-clicked, and selected "Launch and stay open."

It works perfectly if I launch with NumPad 1-9, but if I select anything farther down the list (scrolling + enter, or double-left-click) FARR immediately closes.  Can I keep it open and "on top" at all times?

(I found an old forum thread on this topic, July 2006, indicating FARR couldn't stay on top at all times -- but newer versions have come out since then.  Still not possible?)


A DIFFERENT QUESTION:

In v1.07.21, I could set OPTIONS so FARR wouldn't start automatically with Windows loaded, and I could start it with my own Shortcut key, and then it would completely unload itself after launching my selected program.

The newer versions, even if not set to start with Windows, leave a System Tray icon running after I once use FARR.  Any way of turning this behavior off? 

Thanks.

Screenshot Captor / My mouse doesn't like v2.11.01

« on: January 25, 2006, 11:48 PM »

Today I upgraded my SSC v2.09.10 to the new v2.11.01, but I finally wound up putting v2.09.10 back.

On my Win2K machine, in the new version, the mouse pointer always displays as an hourglass anywhere (everywhere) within the SSC window.  It seems to work OK, when I click on something, but it was really annoying.

Screenshot Captor / Will SSC work on Win95-B?

« on: January 17, 2006, 10:24 PM »

Has anybody had any luck installing ScreenShot Captor on Win95-B?

It "installs" OK, but when I try to start the installed application, I get an error message: "The procedure SHGetPathFromIDListW could not be located in the DLL SHELL32.DLL."

FileForum/BetaNews has SSC listed as "Windows All," but they've been wrong about platform suitabilities before.

I'd sure like to replace my Parsons Technology "ScreenShot" with SSC if it's possible.
