) I thought that justifies putting some more work into it. The FarrMultiMontor plugin can now optionally size the FARR window to a certain percentage of the respective screen FARR is activated on. That by itself might not make too much sense, but I've also added some more shortcut keys to quickly resize the FARR main window to a certain width. The shortcut keys are hard coded to Win + Ctrl + 0 ... 9. 1 ... 9 resize to 10% ... 90% and 0 resizes to 100%. The reason why Ctrl is needed is because Win + Num are used by Windows for the Quick Launch items (which I actually never use).
PS - is there any place I can download an old version of the program to test against? I was going to double-check what I said against 2.55.01 to see if something really changed with the version or if something is screwy with my system.-CatamountJack (April 27, 2009, 06:24 PM)
Now that phitsc has the framework working.. how long before he adds the other index search engines to it like Google Desktop Search, etc.-mouser (April 24, 2009, 11:51 AM)
I would have used this if damn WDS would index Thunderbird emails and contacts

3. Plugins like FarrMilk have no use for the Score value. It would be cool if the Score line in the results could be used like the Location column to display additional information. In FarrMilk I would probably move the URL there or show titles of notes.-phitsc (October 21, 2008, 05:54 AM)
On a side note, I have four quick questions (maybe someone can comment on them):sean2078
1) How can I change the default alias to "t" instead of "rtm" (I've tried changing the override alias in options, but when I try it, it doesn't respond to either command then)
2) How might I change the organizational structure of FARR Remember The Milk so that the very first thing that displays is my incomplete tasks, followed by the "More actions" option? (I would like to just type "t" and get immediate access to tasks)
3) When adding a new task in RTM, I always specify a tag and priority. Instead of typing slashes and colons, I would like it if the software had an option to prompt for these values. So, for example, you type "rtm a testing", press enter, software shows list of existing tags to choose from, you choose one, software shows a list of priorities, you choose one, and then the task is added and the default task list displays. Would you mind adding this as a feature request? Under options, there could be 2 check boxes: "Prompt for tag on add task" and "Prompt for priority on add task". It would make it a lot easier for me to add tasks quickly. Thanks!
4) After adding a task using "rtm a", the incomplete tasks list shows which is great, but "rtm a" still remains in the textbox. Could you please add a feature request to make it so that after adding the contents of the textbox reads "rtm tasks"? Thanks again.
Great job. (Let me know if you want me to add this into the software for you securely)

I suspect you meant the default setting is to filter by date, then priority then name, which is exactly the order I'd like,Yes, that is what I meant. The default order is how I wanted it to be, but the way it is specified in the options window looks uncommon. So I think you are right when you suggest that I should reverse it in the options window.
but what I meant is, in order to achieve that filtering, the filters start in this order "name" "priority" "date".
So yeah, it works perfectly and if no one is as stupid as I am (dont fix what aint broken!), it shouldnt be a problem, but since I just figured it out, I thought I could say it. Thanks for offering to change, it IS minor, but hey, why settle for very good when you have perfect on sight!-vjcamarena (April 01, 2009, 08:22 AM)
Also, I figured I could post that I tried the "enable smartlists" and it did slow FARR and rtmplugin, so I could give you my number of tasks and smartlists so you could have some data (if you dont need it just tell me to shut up!No, please go ahead. I would be very interested in those numbers. Unfortunately, there is really nothing I can do about the bad performance as the reason for this is a bug in the RTM API (which I did report, but which doesn't seem to be important enough to fix). I was actually happy I found a workaround for it)
-vjcamarena (April 01, 2009, 08:22 AM)
Bug or intentional?Well, tasks are sorted by all ticked sorting criteria in the order specified. For example the default is to sort them first by name, then by priority, which will give you a list of tasks sorted by priority, and tasks with the same priority sorted by name. I have to agree though that this is probably not how one would expect it to be. I'm going to change that.-vjcamarena (March 31, 2009, 11:09 AM)
share it!!
maybe it shouldnt start searching until at least 4 or 5 characters are typed -- would that speed it up?-mouser (March 27, 2009, 06:17 PM)
