General Software Discussion / Re: 'Everything' is one FAST file search engine
« on: December 05, 2008, 06:52 PM »
Just create an alias with Everything's command line.
[Select]
^ev(.*)
Everything Search $$1 | C:\program files\everything\Everything.exe -search $$1

A small modification to make multiple search phrases carry over from the FARR input box to Everything:

[Select]
^ev(.*)
Everything Search $$1 | C:\program files\everything\Everything.exe -search "$$1"

edit 090321: sorry, I meant to quote this post but ended up editing it. I think it is reset to how it previously was now.  :-[

There's much truth to this!

The obvious remedy would be and EXTREMELY detailed official XP-to-ubuntu transition site where almost any feature in XP can be looked up -- and the Ubuntu equivalent is presented. There are some such sites around (http://www.osalt.com/ is a good example when it comes to software) but I haven't seen one that is comprehensive and simple enough for the imagined target audience.

N.A.N.Y. 2009 / Re: NANY 2009 Communal Idea Thread

Let me throw out one more idea for anyone with time and interest to make some program but who is still undecided on exactly what to make. Suggestion: a virtual folder tool to be used by other programs, like FARR. See discussions on such a tool here:

General Software Discussion / Re: Notebook / Todo list manager

Hi,
For notetaking, check out this extensive comparison review (a little old but much is still relevant I think):
https://www.donationcoder.com/Reviews/Archive/NoteTakers1/index.php
Then check out this mega-thread:
https://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=2362.0
(While reading through it don't forget to take breaks for lunch, sleeping and to have some time off during weekends ;D That is, it is a very long thread...)

I would say that EverNote and OneNote are two of the top candidates.

Standalone todo list programs have been discussed in other threads. Search and revive! I still write my daily todo lists on paper so I am in no position to recommend any software for that.

Find And Run Robot / Re: Is "Launch and stay open" broken?
« on: November 22, 2008, 05:48 PM »
for me this works:
ctrl+left click
ctrl+#   (where # is a number in the result list)
via context menu

does not work:
shift+enter, control+enter  (one of those is supposed to work, right?)
