Clipboard Help+Spell / Re: Field %e in custom date format produces "00" instead of space-padded day

« on: June 10, 2016, 09:29 PM »

Sorry it's taken so long to respond.

I downloaded and installed the 2.36 beta (the EXE modification date is May 14, 2016, and its file version is 2.36.0).

I missed the June 9 test date (to see if I get "9" instead of "09"), but I tried it anyway.

I still see a problem:

My Date/Time preset is: A-B-E-Y: %A, %B %e, %Y
The pasted value is: A-B-E-Y: Friday, June 00, 2016

Hi ... Just checking in to see if there's an update on this problem. I still see it in version 2.34.

Here's a sample custom format:

A=%A, B=%B e=%e, Y=%Y

And here's the result I get:

A=Saturday, B=April e=00, Y=2016

And here's the documentation for %e:

%d Day of month as decimal number (01-31) [%e no leading 0]

I currently use %d and manually remove the leading zero. I only need to do this manual editing for 10 days, until we hit the 10th of each month.

Clipboard Help+Spell / Field %e in custom date format produces "00" instead of space-padded day

« on: October 14, 2015, 05:17 AM »

Hi,

I have a custom date format using %e. The quick paste menu displays 00 (two consecutive zeros) instead of the day of the month. When I paste, I also end up with 00. This behavior looks wrong. I'm running the CHS 2.31.0 beta (just downloaded about 10 minutes ago) on 64-bit Windows 7 Service Pack 1.

Here's the preset I'm using:
%A, %B %e, %Y

Here's the text is see in the pop up and when I paste:
Wednesday, October 00, 2015

The %d works correctly and displays "14" (for today, October 14, 2015).

Find And Run Robot / Re: Suggestion: Rename ConfigDir.ini in Portable Zip FindAndRunRobot.zip

I'm posting to confirm the 2.105.1 zip file does not overwrite my customized ConfigDir.ini.

Thanks for the change!

Find And Run Robot / Suggestion: Rename ConfigDir.ini in Portable Zip FindAndRunRobot.zip

« on: February 15, 2012, 07:44 PM »

I suggest that the ConfigDir.ini in the FindAndRunRobot.zip file be renamed to ConfigDir_Portable.ini. I'm making this suggestion because I don't want the ConfigDir.ini from the ZIP file to overwrite my custom settings in my ConfigDir.ini.

In the new portable zip of FARR, https://www.donation...RunRobotPortable.zip, there's a ConfigDir.ini that sets the following variables:

PORTABLE=TRUE
CONFIGDIR=.

To prevent this ConfigDir.ini from overwriting my ConfigDir.ini, I first rename my ConfigDir.ini, extract the ZIP, and then restore my original ConfgiDir.ini. In my ConfigDir.ini, I don't set PORTABLE, and I assign CONFIGDIR to a different location than ".".

If other folks are also trying to maintain their own ConfigDir.ini while using the ZIP file, then this request is probably worthwhile. If I'm the only one running into this, then it's probably not worth the change.

Sorry to hear about the code loss. 

LineByter has been very useful in scanning and filtering the error logs from my Visual Studio builds. I'm overdue in paying for it, so I'll be sure to do that soon. I'm looking forward to the new version.

All the icons look great. Here's a variation on the camera idea from lanux128: how about having the mascot (Cody) with a camera? The timed icon could add the clock from the second icon set.

Find And Run Robot / Re: Latest FARR Release v2.107.04 beta - Sep 23, 2012

« on: June 25, 2008, 09:54 PM »

Just wanted to drop a note that I updated to 2.12.03 using DcUpdater and am once again impressed. I was already impressed by the responsiveness and care taken with the IE UserAgent fix and the toggle for the ShellExecute behavior. Then I saw the pretty new option tree. Just lovely! And as I lurk and read various posts, I know I'm barely scratching the surface of what FARR can do.

Find And Run Robot / Re: did the latest update (2.10.01) affect file associations?

« on: June 18, 2008, 03:37 PM »

Here's my experiment. I created a batch file named "xyz.cmd" in the same directory as "cmd32.cmd". The file "xyz.cmd" contains just one line which is: calc.exe

With the 2.10.01 quickdoclauncher.exe, I enter xyz.cmd and the FARR windows closes without the calculator launching.

With the quickdoclauncher.exe from reply #3, I see a command window titled, "E:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe", on my desktop. That command window is showing one command: calc.exe. And the Windows calculator has launched. I close the calculator and it and command window that launched it disappear.

Find And Run Robot / Re: did the latest update (2.10.01) affect file associations?

« on: June 18, 2008, 03:28 PM »

Sorry for omitting more details.

1. I restored the quickdoclauncher.exe from the 2.10.01 installation.
2. I type in "cmd32" and FARR lists it as match #1, cmd32.cmd.
3. I press return and there's a very, very brief hourglass before the normal cursor appears.

The FARR window is gone. No new command window show up. No errors that I can see.

I'll experiment a bit to see if I can confirm whether the batch file ran or not.

Find And Run Robot / Re: did the latest update (2.10.01) affect file associations?

« on: June 18, 2008, 02:53 PM »

Here's another data point. I used to be able to enter "cmd32" and FARR would run the cmd32.cmd batch file located in a directory that I had specified as a search folder.  It worked on 2.07.01. With 2.10.01, entering cmd32 no longer launches the script. I replaced the quickdoclauncher.exe with the one from reply #3 and it's working again.  Here's what the cmd32.cmd script does:

@if exist "%windir%\SysWow64\cmd.exe" (
    start "cmd32" "%windir%\SysWow64\cmd.exe" %*
) else (
    start "cmd32" "%windir%\System32\cmd.exe" %*
)

Find And Run Robot / Re: FARR 2.07.01: IE User Agent String contains bsalsa.com and extrat User-agent

« on: June 18, 2008, 01:26 PM »

Thanks for the quick turnaround and fix.

I've updated to 2.10.01 and my IE user-agent looks like it's back to normal. It no longer contains that "bsalsa.com" text and my registry key no longer contains that "User-agent:" key under "PostPlatform".

I am noticing another different behavior with 2.10.01, which I'll note in a separate thread.

Find And Run Robot / FARR 2.07.01: IE User Agent String contains bsalsa.com and extrat User-agent

« on: June 17, 2008, 03:54 PM »

Hi,

I think something in the latest stable FARR release (2.07.01) is modifying the IE user-agent setting in the registry.  I recently updated to FARR 2.07.01 and noticed the following behavior.

When the new version starts up, it adds to the following registry key:
     HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\User Agent\Post Platform
With this key:
     User-agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; http://bsalsa.com) ( EmbeddedWB http://bsalsa.com/)
Website www.useragentstring.com reports that my IE user agent is:
     Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; User-agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; http://bsalsa.com) ( EmbeddedWB http://bsalsa.com/); .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.04506.30; .NET CLR 3.0.04506.648; MS-RTC LM 8; .NET CLR 3.5.21022)
I noticed this behavior as a result of diagnosing some IE connection problems with my intrusion detection software.  It didn't like the much longer user-agent string from IE.  I'm not posting about the intrusion detection software, though.

The following portion of the string looks peculiar:
     User-agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1;

On another computer, I installed an older FARR version, 2.0.0.145, for comparison.  After the install and after launching FARR, I do not see the registry change.  Website www.useragentstring.com reports the user agent is:
     Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.2; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.04506.30; .NET CLR 3.0.04506.648)

The list of plugins in the Plugin Manager is empty, so I don't think it's from any plugin.

Here are my thoughts ...

• The HTTP User-agent header field is in the registry key name. That looks incorrect.
• I searched for "bsalsa.com" on the Internet and see mention of it as an embeddable web browser.  Is this thing the new embedded browser mentioned in the latest release of FARR?

Clipboard Help+Spell / Re: Bug: Menus, buttons, UI, etc. do not respond to mouse clicks

« on: April 08, 2008, 12:50 PM »

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I checked Clipboard Help+Spell (Screenshot Captor) after login and each time (with one exception), I observe the problem. On one occasion, a window appeared on the desktop for Screenshot Captor.  I double clicked the title bar, and a rather large blank (white background only) window appeared. So in each of these cases, I stopped both programs. I restart each one, wait for them to minimize to the system tray, and opened them up---they were functional. So it does appear that the problems I see are occurring from the time the start up after logging in.

After restarting the programs after login, I have not seen the problem recur. When I double click the system tray icons, the window opens up and I can select text from the clippings (and images from Screenshot Captor).

I tried logging out and then loggin in, and saw the same results.

« on: April 05, 2008, 12:56 PM »

Correct. I exit the program (I right click on the system tray icon, select exit, and then start them back up).

I'll have to keep an eye out for the second condition---whether the programs re-enter this odd state.

Hi ... Just checking in to see if anyone has thoughts on this problem. I'm still running into it, and finally have some breathing room to post this message to the forums. So far, I've pinned both CHS and ScreenCaptor to my Start menu so that when I encounter this problem, I exit them and can quickly start them back up. It's nice to have the contents persistent on disk. I still don't have any further ideas on diagnosing this problem to provide further information about it.

Find And Run Robot / Re: Alert: Bad Image; netsetup.cpl; invalid Windows image

« on: March 19, 2008, 04:01 AM »

Just a quick note that I haven't seen that "bad image" alert is over a week. Thanks for all the help!

Find And Run Robot / Re: Alert: Bad Image; netsetup.cpl; invalid Windows image

« on: March 10, 2008, 07:50 PM »

After typing the letter el ("l") in "cpanel", I see nine matching entries and no "bad image" alerts. The matching entries are:

Fonts (cpanel).lnk
Mouse (cpanel).lnk
Speech (cpanel).lnk
System (cpanel).lnk
Display (cpanel).lnk
Keyboard (cpanel).lnk
Add Hardware (cpanel).lnk
Date and Time (cpanel).lnk
Power Options (cpanel).lnk

So it looks like those shortcuts to netsetup.cpl are the only problematic ones for my installation.

Out of curiosity, I used the strings utility from SysInternals and found C:\WINDOWS in all of the control panel shortcuts (the okay ones as well as the ones pointing to "bad image").  See the command output below (D> is the command prompt):

Find And Run Robot / Re: Alert: Bad Image; netsetup.cpl; invalid Windows image

« on: March 10, 2008, 01:25 PM »

Hi,

Thanks for the tip about those shortcuts. I am no longer seeing those "bad image" messages when I typed the "wo" sequence as I described in my post on March 7. I followed the tips and ended up moving two shortcuts:

Network Setup Wizard (cpanel).lnk
Wireless Network Setup Wizard (cpanel).lnk

If either of these entries are in the "FindAndRunRobot/Scripts/Control Panel (cpanel)" directory under "E:\Program Files", then typing the "wo" sequence results in the "bad image" alert about "C:\WINDOWS\System32\netsetup.cpl". Now that I have moved both of them into another directory outside of the FARR installation directory tree, I no longer see the "bad image" alert when using the "wo" sequence.

This workaround looks very promising because I was able to reproduce the alert and verify my "wo" sequence no longer results in the alert.

FYI: I am running FARR v2.00.145. Sorry I did not mention this earlier.

Sorry, but I'm still encountering those alert messages about "bad image".

I don't know if the following information will be useful: ProcessExplorer (from SysInternals) says the alert message window is from csrss.exe, which is described as "Client Server Runtime Process".

Here's one scenario that's reproducing the error consistently.
1. I bring up FARR.
2. I type "w" and see some entries. Here's a screenshot: http://www.box.net/s...tatic/69d0ob8kk0.png
3. I type "o" and the "Bad Image" alert comes up. I click OK and another one pops up. The alert pops up 7 times total. Here's a screenshot: http://www.box.net/s...tatic/gmrw6x7kg4.png

And here's a screenshot of the bad image message: http://www.box.net/s...tatic/mjcq3hhgkc.png
