FARR Plugins and Aliases / Re: FARR plugin: FARR Remember The Milk 0.4.5

« on: January 09, 2009, 05:35 AM »

Thanks Dinesh for reporting back. It is much appreciated!

It might be that FarrMilk has gotten popular enough for RTM to throttle its use. At least that is what they claim they will do when an API key uses too many of their API service resources. They request to keep server requests to an average of 1 per second (per user of the key, not per key). Both when authenticating as well as when loading tasks FarrMilk has to do several API requests in succession (e.g. getting list of locations, getting list of lists, getting list of tasks). Now I could imagine that while the first two succeeded, the last one (getting list of tasks) was blocked due to the throtteling, which is why FarrMilk gave you a list of lists, but no tasks.

FarrMilk 0.4.5 now makes sure that no more than 1 request per second is made on the RTM service.

Cheers
Philipp

Would you guys mind to update to 0.4.5 and check if it makes a difference to your respective problems?

Thanks

I checked with 2.34.1 and have the problem there too. So it seems to be a FarrMilk problem. I'll investigate....

Just updated from 2.34.01 to 2.45.01, but now the FARR window always stays open after launching anything (just using the Enter key to launch the #1 result). Any thoughts? I have downgraded to 2.34.01 for now.

-d4ni (January 07, 2009, 02:06 PM)

How did you do that, downgrading? Can I download older versions of FARR somewhere?

Please fix this or maybe provide some settings where one can specify that the window should be centered and what size or even better which margins to the sides of the screen it should have. The last one would in fact be much better as FARR would nicely adjust itself to changing screen resolutions.

-rbeeger (January 07, 2009, 08:36 AM)

For centering you could use my FarrMultiMonitor (and center) plugin: https://www.donation....msg117762#msg117762

That wouldn't solve your other problem however...

I think it's a FARR bug. Is there a way to install an earlier version of FARR so I can verify?

Hi Nathan

0.4.4 should have resolved the problem Pnikosis and vjcamarena reported. Are you saying that you have that problem after updating from 0.4.3 to 0.4.4? or do you have the 'Uh oh...' problem now?

Can you try removing the FarrMilk service in the rtm web interface and reauthenticate and if that doesn't help delete the FarrMilk.ini file.

Cheers
Philipp

Hi sean2078

FarrMilk is not open source. I'll consider making it open source once FARR itself has been open sourced though

Concerning your problem: it sounds weird and I don't have an idea what could go wrong there at the moment. Could you maybe try making a smart list and check if that also doesn't give you any tasks? The reason I would like you to try this is that while for regular lists all tasks are loaded at once, for smart lists I have to load tasks a (smart) list at a time (due to what I consider a bug in the Rmilk API).


If anyone else experiences this problem please let me know.

Yep, I thought that as well. If it is possible, it's certainly possible to do it in a plugin.

FARR Plugins and Aliases / Re: FARR plugin: Akete

« on: December 16, 2008, 05:04 AM »

Works perfectly! Even with an empty aliasstr now which is really strange.

Concerning parsing FARR's ini file: I agree that it's probably not a good idea. I am nevertheless doing it currently in my never released Windows Search plugin to query the max. entries to display values. It would really be good to have an officially supported way to query some FARR settings (sorry, just wanted to use this chance to repeat that yet again )

FARR Plugins and Aliases / Re: FARR plugin: Akete

« on: December 15, 2008, 04:42 PM »

Hi ewemoa. Good start . The plugin doesn't work as expected on my system though unless I assign something (anything, that is) to aliasstr. This reminded my of the problem I had when I was working on my (never released) OpenWith plugin. The onSearchBegins function was never called because I had left the default alias empty (because the plugin didn't need an alias). Maybe it's the same with onProcessTrigger?

Anyway, speaking of my never released OpenWith plugin. I think we've already concluded that the OpenWith plugin and your Akete plugin are similar. Maybe it would be a good idea to extend your Akete plugin to allow definition of "open with" keywords (using FARR's +keyword syntax) to launch files having the same file extension with different applications (what the OpenWith plugin does). I imagine something like this:

  [Akete]
    pdf=D:\Apps\SumatraPDF.exe
    OpenWithNpp=C:\Program Files\Notepad++\Notepad++.exe

and Akete not only launching .pdf files but also something like this: c:\My cool project\Config.xml +OpenWithNpp

I explained why I would like to have this functionality here by the way. The reason I never released the OpenWith plugin is that FARR keyword modifiers can't have spaces, i.e. something like +openwith=c:\program files\blah\blah.exe doesn't work. But by using defined keywords this would obviously not be a problem. With Akete doing this I could ditch the OpenWith plugin and would have something less to take care of

Yep, that's the one I was referring to in Reply #65. I'm afraid I have currently no idea what is causing it. Not even if the problem is on the plugin side or on RTM's. Your post at least proves that the new api endpoint makes no difference in that respect. The only advise I can currently give you is to just retry.

FARR Plugins and Aliases / Re: FARR plugin: FARR Remember The Milk 0.4.3

« on: December 13, 2008, 04:33 PM »

Hey all, just joined!

I must say... I absolutely LOVE the idea... the program is very powerful and this plugin in particular seems to showcase all its potential.
However, I'm getting the same exact problem as pnikosis. It authentifies time and time again (telling me its all set).
I tried doing what you told him, but nothing changed.
If i get it to work, I'll get back to you. It is way too good an idea!

Victor

-vjcamarena (December 13, 2008, 10:51 AM)

Hi Victor

Thanks for posting.

So when you check under Settings - Services in the rtm web interface, is FARR Remember The Milk plugin listed there?
And when you hit Enter on the Grant Access item when doing the authentication, what does it say in the FARR status bar just after hitting Enter?

FARR Plugins and Aliases / Re: FARR plugin: FARR Remember The Milk 0.4.3

« on: December 13, 2008, 09:20 AM »

Concerning the 0.4.3 release. Apart from changing to the new api endpoint as suggested by RTM I've also 'fixed' a problem that would lead to the 'Uh oh page'. I say 'fixed' instead of fixed, because I've not really fixed anything, I've just changed the way FarrMilk handles an RTM API request that fails (the getFrob request). The getFrob request is needed to generate the authorisation URL. Until now I was using the value returned by that request even when it failed which obviously generated an invalid authorisation URL (which lead to the Uh oh page). If that request fails, I'll now no longer open the authorisation page (because I don't have a valid URL), but show an error message in the FARR status bar instead. This means that you'll probably never see the Uh oh page again. But that won't help you much if you had that problem, because now you'll just see the error message in FARR's status bar instead

To make a long story short: if anyone who wanted to use FarrMilk but couldn't because he never managed to actually authorise the service but always got the Uh oh page would mind to try the 0.4.3 release to check if the new endpoint makes any difference that would be cool.

« on: December 13, 2008, 09:06 AM »

Hi, I've installed the plugin, and after I wrote 'rtm' it redirected me to the RTM's application authorization page, then I gave the authorization, but when I went back to the FARR's window and selected the first item (Grant Access Permission), it redirected me again to the RTM's application authorization page. I've tried everything (always maintain focus, ignore the focus, etc), and still redirects me to the RTM's page.

Any idea? Someone?

-Pnikosis (December 11, 2008, 07:32 AM)

Hi Pnikosis

I know you've done more or less what I'll describe now, please try it anyway:
- Log into your web rtm account and go to Settings - Services
- Check if the FARR Remember The Milk plugin service is listed there. If it is, delete it by clicking the bin icon
- Open FARR and type goreload to reload the plugins, then click the OK button on the message box that appears
- now type rtm, this should bring you back to the authorisation page
- now click 'OK, I'll allow it'
- go back to FARR and hit Enter

- now check the status bar. if it reads something like 'Loading tasks...' then you're ready to go
- if it reads something else (e.g. service temp. unavailable, just did this when I tried now), retype rtm, this will open the authorisation web page again, click 'Ok, I'll allow it' if necessary (probably it's not), go back to FARR and hit Enter

Also make sure to update to version 0.4.3 of the plugin which I just uploaded. Remember The Milk obviously have a new API endpoint (api.rememberthemilk.com instead of www.rememberthemilk.com) which they now advise to use.

« on: December 10, 2008, 04:04 PM »

Thanks khutch for mentioning that you like the plugin, it is really appreciated!

Concerning the bug you found: besides an inconvenience which I should fix in the plugin what you found is actually a bug in the help file It's also not restricted to smart lists but to all lists containing spaces.

What happens when you click a list with spaces (e.g. Due Today) in the lists result view is that the search is replaced by: rtm tasks /list:Due Today. The inconvenience is that you currently have to manually put quotes around the list name, i.e. the plugin should actually search like this: rtm tasks /list:"Due Today".

The bug in the help file is that at the end of the first paragraph of chapter Parameters & Switches it reads:

If a parameter name contains spaces, it must be enclosed in a pair of " or ' characters

while this should actually be:

If a parameter value contains spaces, it must be enclosed in a pair of " or ' characters

I'll fix both the inconvenience and the help file

FarrOpenWith sounds interesting

May I see the implementation?

-ewemoa (November 11, 2008, 02:57 AM)

I would expect that what you want to do is even simpler than what OpenWith currently does. I would think you'd just have to implement onProcessTrigger, check the file extension of the file being triggered and select the appropriate application to launch the file (if I understood correctly what you want to do).

I'll zip up the FarrOpenWith source code and upload it for you sometime today.

FARR Plugins and Aliases / Re: Fingers in the nose guide to build javascript plugins. Does that mean its easy ?

« on: November 10, 2008, 03:03 AM »

I've made a plugin (FarrOpenWith) that handles all onProcessTrigger events to open a result item (a file) with an application other than the default. I needed this because I wanted to open .xml files in a text editor instead of in a web browser (which is the default on my system).

The way I used it was that I had an alias as follows:

dosearch D:\MyProject\ConfigFiles\$$1*.xml +OPENWITH=%PROGRAM_FILES%\Notepad++\Notepad++.exe

Note the +OPENWITH=. The plugin looks for this on onSearchBegins and if it finds it it takes over launching by handling onProcessTrigger. I'm using the native plugin interface though.

I can remember that this once worked, it's not any more now though. The problem is that $$1*.xml doesn't seem to work any more.

« on: November 04, 2008, 03:47 PM »

I used ArgoUML as well a few years ago but changed to the then free JUDE because it made much nicer print outs and exported images Meanwhile JUDE has experienced massive development and the product was commercialised (for good reasons I would say) but the company still provides a free community edition which is also still being developed.

Oh, just saw that they released a new version a week ago. Gotta go and get it....

« on: November 04, 2008, 08:00 AM »

To answer your question: no, I think it's currently not possible.

But I think it's on mouser's list as it has been requested before (even before I requested it ). Well, what I asked for was the possibility for plugins to modify the context menu (and keyboard shortcuts). Your request seems to go even further than that, if I understand you correctly. Don't know in what way mouser plans to address this (and neither when).

Or just fix the comment, i.e. instead of (what it is now):

// Normally the string you care about is searchstring_lc_nokeywords, thats the search string with all special +modifier keywords removed, and
//  the alias keyword for this plugin removed, so all thats left is the string that should effect the results of the search.

change it to this:

// searchstring_lc_nokeywords usually contains the same as searchstring_raw

I noticed this as well recently but didn't bother to report it as I needed to use the queryraw string anyway for what I was doing. It's definitely not an FScript problem. I think it's a FARR bug that must have come in quite recently only.
