When I add in a directory to the Search Folders tab, can I specify only to search specific extensions? And if I do, does this increase performance compared to searching all files? Thanks.
Fn keys are not directly supported by AHK but there is a way to make them useable, i posted about it in this thread..
WinSet, Transparent, <value>, A
to point at the currently active window. Without it, it refers to Last Found Window, which apparently is not set by anything in the scripts so far (according to docs).
whouah ! Another way is to use $$c in an alias command which will use the $$1 regular expression field IF it exists, or else clipboard if not.the $$cc variable does not work here since you want $$c to be $$1$$3
So for example instead of:
^tor (.*)
You would match on
^tor (.*) [--(.*)]?
Having said that i think it's smarter to add a generic way of applying result filtering to regular expression results and so i will add it, just have to decide on the special characters to use for it.

I associated ".EXE" with a batch file. You may not have realized this was possible, but it's just like associating a ".MP3" with Winamp.exe. You can associate ".EXE" with some program, which then becomes responsible for launching what you want to launch.nice idea
A new feature with FARR version 2 is the ability to specify alias names in your search string using the + prefix (just like keyword modifiers).
When an alias name is specified in this way, anywhere on the search string, it does not effect search, but it will cause the alias results to be displayed AFTER the result file is selected, with the selected file name as argument $$1 in the alias.
In this way, you can perform a normal file/folder search and then launch a specific alias command with that file/folder as an ARGUMENT.
For example, you could create an alias named +hexedit
whose result contents are:
C:\Program Files\HexEditors\HexEdit.exe "$$1"
Now you can type in your search:
+hexedit mydocsearch...
As you type mydocsearch words, FARR will let you search for files as normal.
After you choose the result, instead of launching the result file, you will be presented with
C:\Program Files\HexEditors\HexEdit.exe "SELECTEDFILE"
Which you can then launch.
NOTE:
You can use the same keyword for both alias names and search/scoring keyword modifiers.
Right then, so now whenever I start a program via ANYTHING, it opens with my little batch file.of course it does not work with ANYTHING
Maybe FARR should refresh system PATH (and other???) variable(s) each time it starts (with BREAK key).

what i'd like to do is Play my selected folder, keep FARR opened (thanks to /stayopen) THEN go back to the result list (to be able to enqueue further albums...)
how could we do it ? i thought through a restartsearch command.... (see capture)
maybe restartsearch $$searchbox
the thing is, the result list (all the albums) must be still there (i guess), so we don't want to really RESTART the search, since it could take a few seconds (even more on a network drive)
Fixed error where you were unable to delete user aliases and instead got an error about them being readonly.that's great, i will be able to clean up my aliases a little !
Added a slight delay when triggering hotkey with the copytext option, to give more time for the copy to work.could you make this delay an option (even through a file) i noticed quite a difference...
i'm still waiting desperatly for a fix concerning the "too smart action modifier"
Nitrix how would you feel about preparing a little guide like: Advanced FARR Hacking?
I think you are the only one (and yes I'm including myself) that has discovered all these little tricks.
, i also feel the majority of people did not get the power of dosearch commands yet...)
