Hi,

I use the FCalc plugin very often. What I experience is a rather disturbing 3-5 second delay when invoking it, i.e., summoning up FARR, typing rapidly 'fc ' (with trailing blank). The delay occurs _before_ the blank is displayed, FARR reports 'Searching [my start menu path]'.

The same delay is here with the FarFox plugin (again before the blank is displayed, results are shown immediately afterwards). It does not occur with the AltTab or Uninstall plugins.

I tried to set the score for the plugins to an insanely high value, but that did not change anything.

I should mention that I'm almost always networked.

Is there a reason for these delays? I wish they could be shortened, since they somehow interrupt the 'rushed' feeling of my workflows... :-)

Thanks for your consideration,

Christian

Christian, can you give me an example of what happens (preferably using a built in alias that i also have) so i can reproduce and test?

Hmmm, the easiest example is one you won't have: hibernate.

If I type it, FARR first displays 'Alias - from myaliases.alias' (there is only one result).

If I then select this one entry, FARR displays 'Alias hibernate'. Only the second invokation triggers the command.

Dear Mouser,

The new option tree structure is neat (talking V 2.12.03 here).

Just one thing I stumbled over: The icon buttons for choosing a file/folder (e.g., defining a new Search Folder) are not part of the 'Tab Order', i.e., hitting the tab key repeatedly will never reach those buttons.

For a keyboard-centric tool, I would it welcome if they could be :-) (In fact, every field, check box, etc should be in the tab order, I just didn't check every option dialog. Also, on some dialogs the tab order is not from left to right, top to bottom, but is jumping around a bit.)

Cheers and Keep Up the Good Work(tm),

Christian
