Thanks for the consideration :)

I hope you have success in the process and that it doesn't take much of your time or resources!

Thanks for the heads up  :)

FWIW, I've applied the update on 3 machines and so far haven't encountered any obvious problems.

2803
Not sure if this counts as the same/similar kind of situation, but in v2.30.01, after I bring up FARR and type:

+cmd c:\p
[1]

and follow this with the press of the tab key, the text in the search edit box becomes:

C:\Program Files\

Note that the alias "+cmd" has disappeared...Is this the way it is supposed to work?


[1] In my local installation, cmd is a an alias for:

Command Prompt Here | cmd.exe /k cd /d "$$1"

2804
FWIW, I tried to duplicate this after a fresh install [1] of 2.30.01 under Windows XP Pro SP3 and the result was that I only got one entry in my Startup folder.


[1] I didn't run FindAndRunRobotInstall.exe to install -- I just unzip FindAndRunRobotSetup.zip and run FindAndRunRobot.exe from within the resulting folder.

Launching something that uses an alias via a numpad key leaves "residue" in the Search Edit Box for my local installation.

Below is a description of how one might reproduce.

0. Fresh install of FARR v2.30.01 (I used VirtualBox for this).

1. Create a shortcut to "C:\Program Files" on the Desktop (if the shortcut isn't named "Program Files" already, please rename it to match).

2. Configure a way of toggling FARR that doesn't involve setting or clearing the previous search text:

3. Create an alias 'cmd' for opening cmd.exe with a search result (as described in: https://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=14008.msg120331#msg120331):

[attachthumb=#2][/attachthumb]

4. Bring up FARR using the toggling method defined in 2. and type:

+cmd program f

[attachthumb=#3][/attachthumb]

5. Launch the "Program Files.lnk" result via the appropriate numpad key (let's say for the sake of discussion that it was the first result, so press 1 on the numpad).

6. Bring up FARR again (using the method defined in 2.). 

What I get for the content of the Search Edit Box is (note the trailing number):

+cmd program f1

[attachthumb=#4][/attachthumb]

What I expect is no "residue" (trailing number):

+cmd program f

FWIW, I see the number appearing in the Search Edit Box after I press the numpad key and before the FARR window disappears -- sorry, my visual processing was fast enough, but my fingers were too slow to get a screenshot  :-[

I didn't match the above description to anything listed in 'FARR v2 - Official Bug Tracking and Feature Request Thread' nor did I succeed in locating a post with a closely matching description (perhaps my bad).  I did find a couple of other topics where similar-sounding situations were discussed - but I didn't come away with a confident sense of whether the associated descriptions dereferenced to the same phenomena  ;)
