Thanks for the +sall modifier! It's great. :Thmbsup:
Seems that the last launch history bug (last char stripped off) is gone.  :)
But there is an other bug relating to launch history and +\-modifier. While e.g.  c:\windows\notepad.exe is in lauch history, upon search "+\ note" the following result is shown:

Same result with "note +\".
I wasn't able to achieve this the other way around with +.-modifier and getting folder as results. So it is maybe purely related to the handling of folder.
While checking this and playing around with names, I created a folder called "notes.exe". As a result for the search "notes +\", FARR shows "notes" and strips off the ".exe" as it thinks it is an extension (but not showing exe in extension column ;)) But internally FARR knows the right folder name:

Same applies to a folder called notes.exe.exe, where result shows notes.exe and last .exe is stripped off too.
Sure. A foldername like notes.exe seems strange, but same applies to names like e.g. Backup_V1.1, which IMHO aren't uncommon.  :(

Hi Mouser,

I observed the same as JennyB.

JennyB, that's quite bizzarre.. does it happen all over in lots of directories??
It even gave the phantom entry a unique date.. STRANGE! I'm having trouble reproducing it..

It took some time to find it, but I realized, that it has something to do with launch history. If launch history contains a pure folder e.g. "C:\backup\", then the search "c:\back" shows the results:

Disabling or deleting the entry in launch history returns result to normal behavior.

I can (again) confirm, that editing of an alias results in the loss of the score, when you don't change the score to a value witout a period.
If you run the installer it says it is 2.00.55, but after install you see 2.00.56 in the about box.
Don't use a + at the beginning of a group name, cause + has a special meaning in searches. Maybe you have to check your RegEx, when alias is not working. Just look a the definition of the default aliases.

Regarding Alias Action Keywords I have to add something.
In 2.00.56 Alias Action Keywords only work, when used at the end and when the path doesn't end with a backslash (e.g. C:\Test or C:\test\test.txt). Otherwise the alias is ignored.

BTW:
To avoid interference (I haven't tested this to much, but I believe it could be a problem) with alias also used in file- or foldernames, I currently use < as a prefix for my aliases. I've also tried other "forbidden" characters for file- and foldernames, but \, : or / are used in a path, * is used by FARR and ? or | didnt't work as desired. So is there a drawback for < or >?

Find And Run Robot / [request] view complete history
« on: February 27, 2007, 03:13 AM »
While trying and testing FARR I found, that it would be nice to have the editline history completly shown. Maybe as a dropdownbox or optional as a replacement (via hotkey or as a general option) for the launchhistory.
So I would be happy if you would like to add this as a ToDo.
