FARR Plugins and Aliases / Plugin searches but does not respond to triggers? Fscript 1.19

« on: December 11, 2009, 11:20 AM »

Thanks to mouser's help and reinforcement from late last night  , I'm off to a great start on my plugin.  I'm hitting a snag now where I can't get my plugin to respond to triggers.  Is there something I'm supposed to set in FARR.emitResult that tells FARR what to do when I hit enter on the selected result?

I'm trying, Mouser.   You've done an awesome job on FARR, and I appreciate it tremendously.
I'd like to get this done in time for a NANY release, but if that doesn't work out, I have a fine mini NANY that'll take it's place.   Non-FARR-related, sadly, but it'll still be cool.

What language are you planning to actually write your fscript-based plugin in? Javascript I assume?
Have you considered using FSubScript instead of Fscript? FSubScript uses Fscript but makes it a bit easier to do common stuff.

-mouser (December 10, 2009, 09:54 PM)

Javascript, yes.  Does FSubscript have the same API (except for putting plugin code in an fsubscript.js file instead of fscript.js )?

FARR Plugins and Aliases / Question about FScript (1.19)

« on: December 10, 2009, 09:47 PM »

I'm trying to write a FARR plugin using FScript.  Other plugins I've seen have used aliases to trigger the action of the plugin itself, but I'm having issues wrapping my head around what these plugins are actually doing. The documentation isn't telling me very much about how to interpret that, unfortunately.
For instance, in my plugin, the user can type in 'pinfo explore'.  The only result my plugin returns for that is "Search for $$1".  Upon pressing enter, the plugin should run a query using the specified parameter.  I can't even figure out how to make my plugin accept a parameter, let alone trigger anything with it!  Any help, please?

I have a couple of ideas:
1. A FARR plugin.  I've got some interesting ideas for this, and I'll have to experiment.
2. A task management app that I recently had an idea for.  I don't think I can get this one out "feature-complete" as I've envisioned it by 12/31, but I'm sure I could at least release something for it.

ok then it sounds like your problem may be the one described here, a conflict with an older fscript dll:

jpprater, without scrolling, if you just select an item on the displayed list, do you still get the error?

-mouser (November 25, 2009, 11:36 AM)

Only if I click the first entry in the list.  If I click any other, there's no error.  And if I click the second entry and scroll down, or scroll to any entry but the first (and when I say scroll I mean using the arrow keys), there's no error then either.

I have FARR 2.80.02 installed and I'm using the latest version of hamNotes.  When I do hnote /k then try to scroll the list of keywords, I get an EAccessViolation error and FARR shuts down.

« on: September 23, 2009, 08:43 AM »

it's mainly focused on webcam recording, and is a bit similar to screenshot captor -- that's why i've said recently that screenshot captor is finally going to get an improved thumbnail panel, based on this code.  but i'm going to work on it for a few more weeks and figure out a few more details and best direction for it.

-mouser (September 22, 2009, 03:23 PM)

Awesome!    Looking forward to it!  Thanks so much for making these screencasts.  Like I said, I'm learning loads.

i didn't think anyone was paying attention, let alone watching.

i actually did make 5 screencasts in the last week, but they were for a new program i've been working on and not yet released

-mouser (September 22, 2009, 01:11 PM)

You're joking! We're hovering here like hawks watching a rodent.

-cranioscopical (September 22, 2009, 02:09 PM)

in this context, we are.
But yes, I was watching.  Awesome series, mouser!  I've really learned a lot from watching these.  So will this be the end of the series for the month?

Hmmmmm...We're missing a few days' worth of screencasts here.  I cleared my cache and refreshed twice, and I still only see day 17.

General Software Discussion / Re: Windows Countdown Timer Showdown

« on: August 13, 2009, 09:06 AM »

To add my two cents:
When I went looking for timers, I found QuickReminder, which I now swear by.   It's AHK-based, allows for preset notes, lets you have up to 9 reminders set at a time.  No presets for time settings, though.
I also use the Timer addin for FARR.

What about aliases in FARR?  I know FARR's not a file manager, but it would provide the same type of functionality.  Also, FreeMind (opensource mindmapper) supports links to directories in the file system.

How to scroll start menu with mouse wheel

-PhilB66 (December 27, 2008, 11:12 AM)

I know about that one already...I posted it, and as I said in the only response I've gotten so far, the solution there doesn't do what I want.

Developer's Corner / Annoyance of Windows Start Menu

« on: December 27, 2008, 10:51 AM »

Overall, I have no real problem with the Windows XP Start Menu.  It's perfectly fine.  However, there is one thing about the start menu that seriously annoys me:  the fact that I can't scroll it with my mouse wheel.  I've been racking my brain for how to enable this with a simple AHK script, but I'm not having any luck.  The Windows messages that go flying around when I make the menu scroll don't tell me anything about what messages I should send to make it scroll up or down.  Help, please?

Developer's Corner / Re: XULRunner question

« on: November 04, 2008, 02:00 PM »

That is the correct behavior, as any introductory tutorial/documentation would tell you. XPIs should be installed via 'xulrunner.exe --install-app drive:\path\to\package.xpi drive:\path\to\install\to', then xulrunner should be invoked on the resulting application.ini.

Ehtyar.

-Ehtyar (November 04, 2008, 01:51 PM)

Erm, actually, there aren't any tutorials that say a word about this.  I tried running XULRunner --install-app, but didn't see anything special about doing that (since I had already unzipped the file manually).  Thank you for your help.

Developer's Corner / XULRunner question

« on: November 04, 2008, 01:31 PM »

After looking at the link I saw on XULRunner in the last newsletter, I decided to try it out and see what it was about.  I'm having issues running anything with it.  If I download an XULRunner package (.xulapp or .xpi extension), XULRunner should start that package with XULRunner.exe <packagename>.  All I ever get running this is "Error:  App:Name not specified in application.ini".  If I unzip the xulapp or xpi file (change the extension to .zip and extract) and then look in the application.ini file, I can see Name= defined under the [App] section.  If I then run XULRunner.exe application.ini, it works perfectly.  Any thoughts as to why XULRunner won't take a .xulapp or .xpi file?

DcUpdater / DCUpdater shows no software updates for installed apps that have updates out

« on: November 03, 2008, 09:05 AM »

I have Screenshot Captor and FARR installed on my computer here, and DCUpdater shows the current versions of those apps to be 2.42.01 and 2.30.01, respectively.  A manual version check doesn't update the list.  If I manually force an installation of the "currently detected version", DCUpdater does pull down the newest versions of both apps, but DCUpdater never shows the newer version as what's available for installation.

« on: July 16, 2008, 12:33 PM »

You will not believe this...  I just moved to a new machine and installed FARR there, along with the delicious plugin.  I used the dtu alias and got a list of all my tags.     I wonder what happened...

Could you try the url https://api.del.icio.us/v1/posts/all? in a browser. Do it only once or you will get banned for some time. You should get an xml export of all your posts.

Yes, that worked.

« on: July 15, 2008, 02:41 PM »

This is very strange. Could you check the following points :
- Did you get the new Delicious setting dialog ? It has autohotkey icon. It a H on green background.
- Can you run the settings.exe file in the delicious folder ? Does it show the login/password dialog ?
- Could you check in MyLocalData\Delicious, open the delicious.ini file and verify it look like this ?
 [delicious]
 login=<your_login>
 password=<your_password>

 

-ecaradec (July 15, 2008, 02:34 PM)

I do have the settings.exe and it does have an autohotkey icon like you desribe.  delicious.ini existed in the directory described, and it had my username and password stored.

« on: July 15, 2008, 08:20 AM »

an update should make it work.

-ecaradec (July 14, 2008, 06:23 PM)

I just updated and rebooted my computer, and it still won't work.  The dtu alias won't pull up any tags, and I know my username and password are set right, because I'm using the same ones to log in to delicious from my web browser.  I also tried downloading the zipped plugin and installing it manually.  Still no dice.
