Mouser asked me to post a list of outstanding bugs regarding FARR
Since as you know now, mouser is preparing an update !!!
historys bug======================
when you select a previous search through the historys command, a space is appended to it
so basically if your last search is : search keyword
then if you select your last search through the historys command you'll get
search keyword{space}
showmemo bug======================
bug using the showmemo command :
only the first line break (\n) works ... after that it shows "\n" ...
folder with a dash bug======================
F&R fails to list files in a folder with a dash in its name (b142)
reported by jzippo
clipboard bugs======================
- $$c is empty if the clipboard content is too big (limit should be removed)
- the "restartsearch $$c" command crashes FARR when the clipboard content is too big (above 1024 characters ?)
search box bug======================
since the 2.00.130 release and the new result display updating, there is no more flickering but the search box is not responsive as before...
it really really should be an option
in anycase the search box should feel completely free
for example when i use one of my (dosearch) alias which searches music on my network drive, it takes literally 10 seconds before i see the search terms i typed after the alias trigger... let's say my alias is triggered by music, if a type "music madonna"
i see music, then FARR stops for 10 seconds (i know it's working but it feels like it just crashed) then madonna comes up then the search ends (an other 10 seconds later)
i really (only?) notice it when using dosearch aliases
action trick bug======================
in my opinion this is the most important bug
https://www.donation...dex.php?topic=9161.0the +action trick TOO clever
i think the +action trick is trying to be clever and detect that there is only one result, and so it should show you text about the action. that's normally what you want, so that you can see what action will be applied to what file.
as i suggested the +action trick when used with dosearch command is way to clever it shoud just be fired when asked !
edit : an other problem with the action trick (when used in a dosearch)
is that if you want to use the shell contextual menu or simply the contextual menu on your single result (the action trick is triggered when only one result is found...) you CANNOT
it will open the contextual menu or shell menu of the action file
VERY BAD
$$1, problem when passing "C:\" bug======================
https://www.donation...dex.php?topic=9222.0keyword with capital bug======================
MAJOR bug
https://www.donation...dex.php?topic=8338.0keywords with capital does not work at all
same name bug ?======================
when using the same name for a folder keyword and an alias
of a folder keyword and a action keyword
FARR does not work well
solution is to prefix keyword with : folder for folder keywords
action for action keywords
=================
i surely forgot some, if you know of other outstanding bugs please report them in this thread
Cheers, Nitrix
