Find And Run Robot / Re: good addition to find and run robot or not?
« on: November 27, 2018, 06:26 PM »
The layout may be a little  different ;) , but I solved this problem in NANY 2016.

You can open any file in different programs using one user defined alias.

It can show a list of multiple programs depending on the extension of any file.

The list of programs appears when you append <space><dot> to the file name in the search field.


you can also define a program like notepad to open any file.
Thank you for this suggestion… Evidently I missed the notification of your response a couple years ago…  I checked at the link that you provided but did not see a downloadable plug-in… Is this a plug-in or just some methods for tweaking the aliases? Has anybody done a little video to watch alias/regular expression beginners through this type of thing?

Thanks very much for any suggestions.

I use voice recognition in conjunction with find and run robot for lots of fun automated tasks.... one of them is triggering calls to phone numbers/contacts via skype.

If I add the following text ( skype:+1555-555-5555?call ) to my URL field in my browser and press enter it will launch skype and call the number... All good so far.

I'm hoping to create an alias in FARR that will pass this call command text over to the browser... or potentially directly to skype.

Thanks for any suggestions on how to go about this. Thanks very much.

Thanks for the quick reply… I'm happy to hear that. I wish more programs these days were portable… It would make transitioning between machines much easier. Thanks for making awesome software. :) Almost time to donate more btc :)

I was just wondering if anybody knows if the portable version of find and run robot is faster or slower or the same speed as the version that is installed. Thanks for any feedback.

You are right... either way it is working :)  :up:

Thank you!
