Find And Run Robot / unable to use taskkill /im FindAndRunRobot.exe to close FARR

« on: April 03, 2011, 11:49 PM »

I run FARR inside a Dropbox folder so I need to close FARR manually before shutting down to give Dropbox enough time to sync the ini files.  So I wrote a batch script to close a few program including FARR via the taskkill /im command.  But I can't seems to close FARR unless I use the /f switch.  Why is that?  Admittedly, I am just lazy, I could got to the system tray and do the right click and Exit, but I would still like to know.  And I don't want to use the /f because settings are  not saved this way and could result in data corruption.

BrowserTraySwitch / customize default browser

« on: November 21, 2010, 07:16 PM »

I love the auto-detect feature, but I use Firefox Portable as my default browser.  Can I still specify the path of the browser I want to set as my default?
I will probably work if I edit the config file, but that sounds like a lot of places to edit in the file.

thanks

Find And Run Robot / help with FARR alias

« on: November 20, 2010, 12:24 AM »

Could someone teach me how to sue the built-in www alias for FARR?  I can't figure it out.  I thought it's used to launch websites, but guess not.
Even better, if there is an alias explainaiton list for FARR somewhere that would be even better.

thanks

Find And Run Robot / FindAndRunRobot.ini

« on: July 21, 2010, 01:58 AM »

Hi all,

I am new the community.  FARR is a great piece of software.  It is very useful.  I have question, more out of curiosity, than it being a problem.  As far as I can tell, the FindAndRunRobot.ini file stores all the settings regarding how FARR runs.  To be clear, I"m running FARR on a usb stick and have the configuration file set to save FindAndRunRobot .ini in the application directory.
So here the query.  Whenever I change the setting for FARR, I do not see the change reflected in the FindAndRunRobot.ini file.  Although the settings are saved (I have restarted the program and system to make sure).  So where are all these settigns being saved?  FindAndRunRobot.ini doesn't even show signs of being edited when I change the SearchDirectories, which i know there is a section on it in FindAndRunRobot.ini.  My current FindAndRunRobot.ini file is in the state I had set when I first configured FARR, shortly after install.
Like I said, my settings are being saved, but I can't see them.  So, this isn't really a issue, it's just that I would like to know.

thanks
