this just keep getting better and better. I really do not remember having so much fun beta testing an app like this on.

Nothing major, but I checked out ver55 and I see that you fixed the ordering of results to match the alias definition. Thank you for that.

I also see that you now added these hints for content that appear in the name column and count in  'location'. Wouldn't it be more helpful if you display the hints the other way around. The location column is normally wider and therefore can display more content than the name.

Mouse,
can you please help me understand FARR behavior here...

I created an alias 'sys' defined as follows...

  • RegExp: ^sys (\d+)
  • Results:

LOGOFF $$1 secs | c:\windows\system32\shutdown.exe -i -l -t $$1
----------------------------------------
REBOOT $$1 secs | c:\windows\system32\shutdown.exe -r -f -t $$1
----------------------------------------
SHUTDOWN $$1 secs | c:\windows\system32\shutdown.exe -s -f -t $$1
----------------------------------------
above INTERACTIVE | c:\windows\system32\shutdown.exe -i
----------------------------------------
ABORT above | c:\windows\system32\shutdown.exe -a

Then I wanted to use the new alias search feature (note that this alias accepts an arguments i.e. number of seconds. These are the scenarios [/li][/list]

  • typing 'sys' behaves as expected as seen here
sys_full.jpg
  • typing 'sys log' also works as expected
sys_log.jpg
  • typing 'sys shutdown' does not narrow it down to that entry
sys_shut.jpg
[/list]

My questions are ...
1- Does does FARR combine both alias search and accepting arguments if both exist?
2- Why did not typing 'sys shutdown' behave just like the others did?

Thank you

Just an update. Since my original ini file was overwritten (it was not a big deal), I have not had this hanging issue return. It has been 2 days and FARR is running like a horse shshhshs

what would happen if you have multiple aliases sharing same 3 to 4 letters. What would FARR do? I've seen TARR implement in such a way that by hitting tab key it will cycle you though all aliases sharing same letters you typed. Not sure how FARR would do it though.

Mouse, few quick notes...
- Just installed ..50 and it is truly a gem. It has the most powerful feature I have ever seen in this category of software. I use key modifiers, dir searches (specific and no specific), negating search strings, and now I see you added alias group searches. This is absolutely a dream come true.

- I would like to suggest that you freeze new features for now. Let's focus on stability, performance, and bug issues so you can get an public release out.

- looking forward for the sdk. I would like to develop a plug-in to use to display process and offer the ability to manage them e.g. kill, switch.

- I use this release with ffox2 and bookmarks work just fine.

Thank you for this tremendous work.
