I mentioned this to Mouser and he said I should suggest it as a plugin.

A plugin that could launch different browsers depending on what link you type. (I think that's what he meant.)

What I had suggested was a way to specify in your query what browser was used by adding ff/IE/Opera etc to the beginning, but he said a plugin would be better because it would handle all url launching, even by other FARR aliases. I'll leave it to him to reply here and explain the rest of the idea, since he knows more about the program than I do. heh.

The thing that sparked my suggestion though was wanting to be able to choose which browser would launch, rather than having it just use my default. So I could launch say... irc://irc.prison.net/#donationcoder and have it open Firefox, since that's where I have my IRC program.

Thanks. Another question for ya. I added an alias that uses nircmd's emptybin function to empty my recycling bin, but I can't find the recycling bin image on my computer anywhere... any idea where I would look for that? Thanks.

I did it!  ;D

Not exactly sure what the format for this should be, so I'll just copy/paste what I did. I copied the line for Standby, changed the right places so they said hibernate, used the same image (since windows uses the same one, it's just a slightly darker color), and changed the windows cmd command to Hibernate. Simple enough. (Tested it too, just in case. It works fine.) Thanks for the help and the push Mouser.

EDIT: Forgot to say what I named the Alias, but I guess people can name it whatever they want. Personally I prefer using "Sleep" since it's shorter and easier to type than "Hibernate".

Hibernate Computer | %ALIASDIR%nircmd.exe qboxcom "Do you want to Hibernate the computer?" "question" Hibernate /ICON=nircmd_icons\Standby.ico

Thanks guys. That's perfect. Easy enough. Like I said though it might not hurt for plugin writers to include a little readme file with the simple instructions. (Though it should also mention that you need to restart FARR for the plugin to take effect.)

Thanks again. Love this program.

EDIT: Quick question about this plugin. It has standby, but it seems to be missing a command to put the computer in Hibernate (which I use far more often.) Is there any way for me to add that myself? Thanks.

Sorry, I know this thread is kind of old, but could someone please explain how to install this plugin? It would really help if these things came with readme's...

Thanks.
