I put together estf [1] (ahk, exe) which tries to do the following:

  With a file or folder selected in Windows Explorer press a hotkey to bring up FARR and have the selected item appear in FARR

The hotkey and path to FARR's executable are configurable via an ini file -- they default to holding down the Windows key while pressing "s" and C:\Program Files\FindAndRunRobot\FindAndRunRobot.exe respectively.

It's got some limitations (e.g. it won't work when Windows Explorer is viewing things like "My Computer"), but it seems to work ok for many situations locally.  

Perhaps other might also find it useful.

I heard a rumor that something like this may have been suggested before, but I didn't succeed in turning up the relevant thread(s)/post(s).  If someone else manages to find it/them, please let me know.


[1] Renamed from 'ExploreSelectionToFARR'.

I've put together a page with links to some DC forum-related Greasemonkey scripts.

At the moment, what's available is:

• Script to change color of dates in certain DC forum posts and topics by age
• Script to ease opening of unread DC forum topics in tabs

The former script requires that the date format for your user is set up to be of the form YYYY-MM-DD -- if people are interested in other formats being supported, please mention the formats and I will at least give them some consideration.  Also, it doesn't work for all pages that list topics -- if there's some page that isn't which you'd like, please give me a sample URL and I'll consider investigating feasibility.





The latter script is what I've started using to make viewing unread topics a little easier -- after installation some menu items are added to the Greasemonkey "User Script Commands" submenu.  Some items are for opening some number of unread topics in tabs while one is for opening just the unread topics which have their checkboxen checked.  I haven't gotten the accelerator key functionality working locally for some reason...

For sanity's sake, the script will ask for confirmation if it is asked to open more than 3 tabs at once -- and the tab opening should now be staggered by 1 second each.  The original page listing the unread topics should also get reloaded 1 second after the last tab is opened.
