General Software Discussion / Best Firefox security addons?

« on: August 09, 2008, 01:08 PM »

I already use noscript which is great. But what else do DC people use for security inside Firefox.  I looked at the Firfox addon topic but that has become so long that it is kind of impossible to read and try all those addons. More content spesific Firefox addon page like security addons would be more appropriate at this point I think.

UrlSnooper / Feature request: Performing url scanning on clipboard content

« on: August 06, 2008, 10:55 PM »

I know we have file scanning which is neat. But it would be great if US could just perform the same operation on clipboard contents as well. Just more convenient

Find And Run Robot / Unresponsive Farr

« on: August 05, 2008, 10:01 PM »

I am sorry I cannot provide any details about this condition. When Farr is in this condition it does not accept any aliases or keywords and shows no sign of life. Only thing I know is I get this once in a while. Only solution is to restart Farr when I get it (once or twice a day). One thing that is consistent about this issue is the text that Farr shows "type agroups to list all aliases". When I have this I cannot close farr at all I mean exiting the app. I need to kill it via task manager.

General Software Discussion / Frink - Multi skilled converter-math application

« on: August 03, 2008, 11:38 AM »

This application is mix of calculator-converter and programming  language. Also it offers translation services if you have internet connection.

It would be very neat if this could be embedded into FARR somehow

Clipboard Help+Spell / Feature request: Shortcut for viewing only

« on: August 01, 2008, 09:59 AM »

At the moment whenever I use shortcut to call CHS window, it also copies a new item to clipboard. I am now sure why one shortcut was assigned to do 3 things at once (shown as capture\view\spell in preferences). It would be great if we have shortcut only to invoke CHS window.


thanks

Clipboard Help+Spell / Feature request: Custom database folder (due to security concerns)

« on: July 29, 2008, 08:28 PM »

It looks like there is no custom database location at the moment which poses a security risk when users copy personal data to clipboard. I have a secure disk where I can actually keep the database if there was an option. I know I can backup to secure place. What I am talking about is the actual CHS database.

110

Clipboard Help+Spell / Feature request: Copied files as file list

« on: July 29, 2008, 08:22 PM »

It would be great addition if CHS can copy file names into its database as well. For example If I copy some files in explorer CHS then copies the names of the files-folders(not the actual files) as a list for easy files-folder list access.

Living Room / Please share your favorite search engines.

« on: July 29, 2008, 07:03 PM »

Ok we already know and use google,  so no need for repeating or hijacking the topic with which one is best wars. I would like to compile a practical search engine list that has proven quality search engines in it. So please list your favorite search engines(specialized or non specialized) with short description

http://scroogle.org/  this one is for cookiless - anonymous google search. It is not quite a search engine but it can be helpful to those who hate google privacy practices.

Find And Run Robot / Feature request: Export launch history as shortcuts

« on: July 23, 2008, 01:20 AM »

I was wondering if there is a way to export the launch history as shorcuts? If we can export the launch history as shortcut then the user can create a folder for frequently used programs shortcuts which in the end will help to launch stuff in Farr faster (assuming that user will that folder into search path). This is more like saving the usable launch history.

113

Find And Run Robot / Is it possible to manipulate aliases via Farr window?

« on: July 18, 2008, 11:56 PM »

I am wondering if it is possible to add lines to aliases without opening Farr config-alises section. This would be very beneficial. For example I can just keep adding my favorite sites to favotites alias without opening alias manager.

114

General Software Discussion / I am looking for no install firewall.

« on: July 16, 2008, 11:04 PM »

I hate man of those firewalls that insall many services and other stuff. They most feel bloated. Can anyone recommend no install firewall (especially for xp64)

thanks

Find And Run Robot / aliases for aliases?

« on: July 16, 2008, 01:04 AM »

Sometimes I cannot remember the exact name for a keyword. Those times I wish that I could have either long names in which Farr could bring up the alias based on any of the words in the name or define aliases in the aliases. Probably it is possible with regex but I am looking for easy and streamlined solution.

for example

I have tutorial alias but this alias can also be learning, lessons etc.

116

UrlSnooper / Feature Request: Sorting options

« on: July 13, 2008, 11:21 PM »

I hate the fact that newest sniffed urls are at the bottom of the list which makes it ahrd to track what is going on. I wish there was default sorthing options based on name, date, index that updates listing in real time etc.

117

General Software Discussion / Does anyone know any temporary startup manager?

« on: July 13, 2008, 11:04 PM »

I am looking for a startup manager that can start items only once(one session) then deletes them. I know I can make batch files, use startup applications etc but that is not the path I want to take. I need more convenient solution so that I do not forget to disable-delete any temporary startup application-item.

Find And Run Robot / Farr is not launching ahk scripts

« on: July 13, 2008, 12:52 AM »

For some reason I cannot launch-run my .ahk scripts. Neither browsing to director nor keyword searching works. I can see the scripts but pressing enter does not launch them. I could launch them in the past without any issues. I am using v2.22.01

119

Find And Run Robot / Implemented idea that could be useful for other users, right clicking on title

« on: July 07, 2008, 01:48 AM »

I have implemented "stay on top" via right clicking on title bar by using powerpro. I like the way it works and this might be beneficial to other users if mouser implements it. Basically if I right click on Farr`s title bar (anywhere on the bar) , Farr stays on top until I right click on the title bar again regardless of the search or launching situation. I know we can force Farr to stay on top but this means that user needs to open settings window everytime(assuming that you like going back and forth between stay or not or not). My method is so convenient that you do not need to select stay on top in the setting, even if you like stay on top option in the settings.

General Software Discussion / I need a frame by frame dvd video player software.

« on: July 03, 2008, 06:48 PM »

I need to watch some reference dvds and videos and I am in need of a good frame by frame viewer. Most of the players fail to do frame accuracy(kmp, vlc, Gom etc). And I do not want to convert whole dvd set to sequential tgas or pngs.I would like to scrub the videos back and forth as good as possible.


thanks

Find And Run Robot / [Feature Request] Seperate history for file browsing and executables-aliases

« on: June 30, 2008, 03:13 PM »

I like that Farr keeps all browsing and execution history. But history list is wasted way too quickly then. That is causing Farr to expire the items(exes, aliases) at the bottom of the list earlier if one uses Farr to browse for files and folders  as well.

123

General Software Discussion / Wireless management software suggestions (zero config alternatives)?

« on: June 26, 2008, 08:09 PM »

I am using xp zero config but I am not happy with interface. Which software do you use to manage wireless connections? I have tried couple like Manage engine, wireless network ignition etc. But I was not happy with any of them.

Suggestions?

124

Find And Run Robot / [Bug] Farr no longer auto completes custom alias after "tab" (v2.12.03)

« on: June 25, 2008, 12:53 PM »

I have custom aliases that would call some exe files and pass some arguments. At the moment Farr cannot auto complete them with tab anymore. So I cannot pass my custom arguments. And tab completion is checked in the pref.

125

Find And Run Robot / Farr is not very responsive when it is searching

« on: June 23, 2008, 03:05 PM »

When farr is searching directories Farr becomes very unresponsive and most of the times "Esc" cannot even stop the search. And I would find myself waiting Farr to finish the search next 1 min which is waste of time pretty much. This is very visible during a "deep search" when Farr cannot place the keyword within the history and that is the time it starts directory searching. I am hoping that there would be some improvement at some point regarding this issue.
