Find And Run Robot / Re: [Bug report?] farr - short freeze every 6 launch/close

« Last post by kartal on June 16, 2008, 05:29 PM »

yes it keeps listing results but it takes a while until it makes sense of what is coming out of search. I am searching 6 7 big folders so  to me searching does not bother but 
I get frustrated when it cannot find frequently used and called(via Farr) applications asap.

Well it is little connected because when Farr gets into deep search mode (when it cannot bring the file in a few seconds) it locks up. It is mostly an interface freezing I believe . And escape would not help me at all.

I have alot of hit and misses as well. Sometimes Farr finds the file less than a sec sometimes it takes a long search to find the file. I am talking about frequently used programs. I even set history hit scoring to 500

Nice to hear that you have figured it out. If you need spesific conditions that are hard to achieve with standard interface you might want to check out powerpro yahoo groups. There are some helpful people there.

General Software Discussion / Re: Let go of your bookmarks!

« Last post by kartal on June 15, 2008, 11:05 PM »

I do not use bookmarks at all. I think that they create clutter because they are so easy to create. What I do is keep the web sites I like and so called bookmarks in my info application which is Wikidpad. I can tag them, date them, link them etc. It is easier to integrate into my info environment this way otherwise they would be in seperate application.

I also started using Zotero for firefox in conjunction with Wikidpad.

It may look daunting at first but it is very capable software. If you can manage to pass first hardships you will see that it is a gem. Unfortunately default installation and setup is little confusing. After you install probably you will find it hard to understand. So what you need is to run pproconf.exe from the powerfolder diretory. From there you can disable default tabs, windows and setup your scheduler. The command you will need is "file" command under scheduler.

Also the documents are not bad at all in my opinion.

FARR Plugins and Aliases / Re: GTDTiddlyWikiPlus for FARR (alias pack)

It looks like standard IE zoom in and out shortcuts are not working in internal viewer. Maybe if we can have them enabled I might be able to adjust font sizes?

I hope that Farr  wont have much memory footprint after all these new features. I really like new features but I guess speed of Farr should be the most ultimate priority.

I already asked for that also and wanted that to be part of alias definition(ie fixed size in alias definition)

Btw as far as tiddlywiki goes, it could be best at some point if we can make a modified version that is optimized for Farr. I have no javascript or html skills so I will passon this one but maybe someone with skills could do it in short amount of time.

Again thanks for including this.

Other websites and local files do not show this bad of a problem. They may look tiny smaller but they seem normal.

I am under 64bit xp, IE v7

Ie shows them fine. I am under 64bit and I tried both 64 and 32bit versions of Ie. Both tiddlywikis suffer from the same issue btw.

it works (javascript) however all the fonts and page is very small. Would you mind trying?

This one will be very useful once javascript is enabled in Farr. A local file based html wiki can be invoked by using htmlviewurl

http://www.tiddlywiki.com/


btw I am trying to use showhtml instead of htmlviewurl and it does not show anything. How is it supposed to work ?

Here is my string in an alias

Post New Requests Here / Re: IDEA: Insert date and time into internet explorer - or other text field

« Last post by kartal on June 13, 2008, 04:33 PM »

If you install autohotkey you can use below script in any text field you want. Copy paste into a text file and change the extension to .ahk and then double click to run it.

All you need is typing "]d" "}d" etc. Just check out the script below. It is very easy. This will change or add the date on the fly no need for additional application. I originally found this script in one of the ahk documents btw. It is not my script but I use it everyday.



;script starts here
:*:]d::  ; This hotstring replaces "]d" with the current date and time via the commands below.
FormatTime, CurrentDateTime,, d/M/yyyy ;h:mm tt  ; It will look like 9/1/2005 3:53 PM
SendInput %CurrentDateTime%
return

:*:}d::
FormatTime, CurrentDateTime,, yyyy_M_d
SendInput %CurrentDateTime%
return

:*:)d::
FormatTime, CurrentDateTime,, d_M_yyyy
SendInput %CurrentDateTime%
return

:*:*d::
FormatTime, CurrentDateTime,, M_d_yyyy
SendInput %CurrentDateTime%
return

General Software Discussion / Re: Rightnote, commercial alternative to abandonware Keynote

« Last post by kartal on June 13, 2008, 11:13 AM »

SEO note has alot of advanced functionality.  It is nicely done free application

But here what I did not like about it

-No real file drag and drop functionalty. Dragging into SEO forces to create a new database
-There is no multiple file imports at once. There is folder import but folder import does not import contents of the folders.
-No unicode support in the editor. What is funny is that the tree seems to support unicode but not the editor. At least the text files I have imported did not show words properly due to different character set.
-Password protection did not seem to work.
-No node dragging and dropping. Keynote-Rightnote allows you to drag and drop your nodes-notes inside the tree. This is only supported via keyboard shortcuts like shift right-left This is very handy feature for organizing.

If unicode is not important for you and you use only english to collect notes and organize SEO is definetely a very good find.

« Last post by kartal on June 13, 2008, 09:49 AM »

Well, if you have used Keynote in the past and was not happy about the fact that Keynote has turned abandonware, then Rightnote could be for you.

For example Keynote and Rightnote have virtual notes. Virtual notes are pretty much imported(or dragged and dropped) text based files that you can edit outside of the Rightnote and will be updated inside Rightnote.

Find And Run Robot / Feature request: Quick stay on top button

« Last post by kartal on June 12, 2008, 09:25 PM »

I use Farr without stay on top option. But once in a while I want to keep it on top of other windows. I normally have a script running that would let me keep windows on top if needed. Since Farr does not have any standard top right windows buttons except "close" my script is useless(I manage on top option by middle clicking on minimize). I can modify my script but I personally hate to have exceptions to keep things consistent and simple. So it would be really cool if Farr has a stay on top button (a pin icon for example) that sits next to close would be great.


thanks
