I'm not sure if this normal behaviour but it is weird FARR keep pointing to the installer instead of pointing to the program executable in program files?

Find And Run Robot / FARR searching LBC shortcut

« on: May 18, 2011, 09:23 PM »

Hi. I always have FARR and LBC run side by side because they both serve different purpose but I want to know is it possible to make FARR search LBC shortcut?

Because normally I'd use FARR for launching normal installed software sit in start menu/desktop/program files but I also have some standalone software which sit on different partition on my hard which make it ineffective for FARR to search them and I have them in LBC.

Sometimes when when I'm in keyboard mode it is easier to just search from FARR than to reach for my mouse

I try to look at LBC save file but it not normal text file.. I don't know how to read/extract data from those .mcf file..

Thx

Find And Run Robot / [Enhancement request] Better "search as you type" a.k.a incremental search

« on: November 21, 2008, 10:40 AM »

Actually I want to request this long time ago but I always forget 

Search as you type/ incremental search indeed one of the most important feature of FARR as I think it need to be improve.

[attachimg=#1][/attachimg]

I would like if FARR can implement incremental search as Locate offer.

Here is some few reason.

1. Delay: Search with each character put unnecessary work on the machine for quick typist. Eg. You want to find a program that will require at least 5 characters to give relevant result. So if FARR start searching on each keystroke then it put unnecessary strain on the machine.

2. Minimum character: Nearly the same as above reason there is no point for FARR to search for one character only that surely will give too many result and maybe too many unwanted result also. So if FARR start searching from 2nd or 3rd character will be much better & efficient.

3. The reason of above reason is I always find FARR in "hanging state" where you type something really fast and it will took a few second until it appear on the search box.

*hopefully someone can understand my english*

LaunchBar Commander / Ontop bug?

« on: November 21, 2008, 08:15 AM »

As I post in the different thread LBC can sit on my screensaver which is supposed to the most on top.

[attachimg=#1][/attachimg]

So I try to untick the always on top option but LBC still be on top of everything even on my full screen media player (you know how annoying it is)

I guess that the only option that control ontop state? or maybe I am missing other options?

[attach=#1][/attach]

This error kind of random but usually will appear when I try to access preference by right clicking on the dock icon. LBC does not crash but I have to right click I again then I can get to the preference.

Any idea why?

Running latest LBC v1.83.01 on xp sp3 pro

LaunchBar Commander / Annoying border..

From the setting above you see I already select no border, transparent and LBC should be completely transparent. But right now still got those tiny ugly little border.

Find And Run Robot / FARR not saving history anymore..

« on: October 13, 2008, 02:25 PM »

Before this whatever I launch will always appear in the history list.. but in the past few weeks some of them not appear. I don't really know how this happen.. only some of them will appear in the history list, most of them not. This is quite annoying.

Any idea why?

EDIT:

Using FARR v2.30.01

Plugins Installed:
locate
farruninstall

Developer's Corner / Help! php path encode

« on: July 05, 2008, 06:01 AM »

Hi guys,

I just lurking around net and I found this website that use some php code to retrieve file for download. eg

Code: PHP [Select]

1. http://www.somesite.com/members/_getFile.php?path=ZG93bmxvYWRzL3Bva2VyIHRleHQuemlw

What I can found is.. the code is up one level and go into downloads dir.. but I can't go directly in there.

Here is some error I got if I enter random parameter

Code: PHP [Select]

1. filesize(): Stat failed for ../downloads/Blabla (errno=2 - No such file or directory)

Is it possible to identify how he code the path? FYI, I know some files inside downloads dir so I can test.

Thanks.

Find And Run Robot / [Suggestion] Clear search term on hide

« on: November 17, 2007, 04:22 PM »

By default, farr will erase last search term when you call it, is it possible if you to make farr clear the search term before it hide itself, because when after a long time I didn't call farr out so there will be a bit delay before it show up.

Usually I just type whatever I want to search after I hit alt+space (my hotkey to call farr) so sometimes the first few letters got deleted when farr trying to clear previous search term, this is a bit annoying.

I hope you get what I mean.

Thanks.

« on: October 10, 2007, 11:14 AM »

Hi, I need some enlighten in this.

Recently I just revert back to IE6 but what I can see is it cant show transparency on images (example below). Is it the normal behaviour of IE 6 or I just miss some options somewhere?

capture on IE 6

I want to request feature custom thumnail size. Currently we can only select some default thumbnail size and some autosize (I dont understand this) but it would be nice if we can select costom size to fit out page layout?

I think this feature is not there yet or I miss the option?

Thanks for great soft.
