thanks for reminding me about that paul, i should have set fixed font in the alias; you should try the appcapappendmemo method, its nicer for commandline tools that can take a bit of time to produce their output.  The new runcap alias will be this in the future:

runcap $$1 | tempmemofont fixed ;;; showmemo Running $$1;;;appcapappendmemo $$1 /ICON=icons\farr\core-sysutils_run.ico

Thanks for the reminder. I stopped using appcapappendmemo because of the "append" - the output kept growing. I should have thought of addinga showmemo at the start like you did :-)

yes it is:

Ah, thanks. That helps, but what I was actually after was a way that a plugin could do this, just for one display...

Aha! I found it. If I set window.richeditmode to a string of RTF format text, I can do what I want. Pity RTF is such an ugly format, but never mind - it works :)

What I'd like to be able to do is to specify that the search list includes all of the directories in my %PATH% variable. The reason for this is that I'd like to be able to launch programs on my PATH (which are generally command line utilities) using the Console plugin - so I want an alias that searches PATH (using a keyword to make sure the command line programs aren't included in normal searches). But I'd rather not have to explicitly list the directories in PATH, so that I don't have to update them when I change my PATH.

This could be done by allowing "Directory Path" to contain multiple directories, separated by a user-specified separator (so I'd use %PATH% and ";").

Also nice would be to have a search folder, excluding subdirectories which are on PATH (so that I can put my Utils directory in the search folders, but exclude command line utilities). Again, this could be done by allowing "Exclude subdirectories" to use a separator other than newline (so I could exclude %PATH% with separator ";").

Can any of this be done already, or would it be possible as a new feature?

Paul.
