Find And Run Robot / Re: Windows 8 and FARR

« on: August 29, 2012, 12:25 PM »

I typically use the Start button and just type and do not even think about the whole page changing, when you press enter on the app it loads anyway no big issues from my perspective. And im liking the live tiles

As a note I am finding that on the hot key press find and run robot is coming up on the desktop behind the start page and not forcing a flip to desktop, also the help links and about links are not opening the browser up.

Developer's Corner / Licences for free software without code

« on: April 01, 2012, 02:12 PM »

So, I want to relase some software I wrote but not the code. I also do not want people selling it under another name or its name either.

What licence options do I have, all the GPL ones are code focused.

Looking at the config dir value it would be nice if the computer name was a variable.

Example:
CONFIGDIR=.\%COMPUTERNAME%

Which would become:
<directorywherefarris>\MYCOMPUTERNAME\DonationCoder\AppName\

that way you can have history etc per computer, the only annoying point would be copying the file when you add new aliases.

Thoughts? Any other issues that this would cause?

Find And Run Robot / Syncronizing settings across multiple computers

« on: November 16, 2011, 10:37 AM »

Hi,

I have Find and Run robot in a folder synceds by Live Mesh. This is working pretty well however I am getting duplicates every now and then as the process is running on multiple machines and accessing the files so instead of just blating a file if Mesh picks up a issue it appens the machine name to the file so you know where the version came from.

Any suggestions on how to configure the app to avoid these or is there a better way to sync settings?

I do not want to have a USB key to carry around and Mesh syncs to the cloud storage (5Gb space) so I have my portable apps and utilities anywhere.
