I have found one more commandline which is for creating virtual drives. It is nice and simple

http://www.ntwind.co...es/visual-subst.html

And here is the explanation from the author

"
You can use the following command lines:

1) to create virtual drive X:

  VSubst.exe X: C:\Path

2) to remove virtual drive X:

  VSubst.exe /D X:
"
and my alias
1000>>>virtual>->virtual $$1 $$2 | PATH TO\VSubst.exe $$1 $$2>+>^virtual (\S*) (.*)

Find And Run Robot / Instant infos via aliases?

« Last post by kartal on May 30, 2008, 10:45 PM »

I have started using farr as info keeper via aliases. For example I have put all the ip adresses of my computers in my network as aliases in farr. So if I type "laptop wireless" it shows what the wireless and wired ip is. This is just an example to use farr as instant info desk. However creating aliases is not that instant. Would there an easier way of creating aliases for this kind of purpose? Any plugin to achieve such thing?

example

1000>>>laptop wireless>->laptop wireless 192.168.1.102


thanks

General Software Discussion / Keyboard Extensions, launcher-shortcut editor-screenshot tool-alerts

« Last post by kartal on May 23, 2008, 11:55 PM »

This is a tool that combines launcher and autohotkey(mainly hotkeys) in a rudimentary way. Some people may find it useful. I personally use auto hotkey and powerpro for my mouse keyboard programming but this one offers launcher, nice shortcut editor and another editor where you can define sending keyboard activity to certain applications.

http://www.saleensof...boardExtensions.aspx

Also check out their other tools like scanfs and filepro. They are very useful.



General
   ▪ Quickly locate and launch programs, documents, mp3s and other files
   from system folders   (e.g. start menu, quick launch folder), or other
   user defined locations.
   ▪ Enhanced Start/Run replacement dialog that includes searchable history
   ▪ Create global or application-specific keyboard hotkeys
   ▪ Integration with Windows Explorer, to compare directories/files, copy file names,
     launch command prompt etc
   ▪ Captures screenshots in PNG format, and manage using tags
   ▪ Save/restore desktop icon positions, and other explorer folders
   ▪ Notification alerts (one-off / recurrent alerts)
   ▪ Task scheduler (one-off / recurrent tasks)
   ▪ CS-RCS Integration. One keystoke away from checking-in your files into
    the CS-RCS database from Windows Explorer
   ▪ WinRar Integration. Backup a window folder and its subfolders with only a keystoke.
   
   
   Hotkeys
   ▪ Define your own global keyboard hotkeys (shortcuts) for launching applications
  and/or focusing open applications to prevent opening multiple instances
  of a program
   ▪ Define your own application-specific hotkeys that can map into more complex shortcuts
   in any application.
   ▪ Global Keyboard hotkeys that allow you to easily search in google, wikipedia,
   newsgroups from any program, with the click of a button
   ▪ Customizable newsgroups list
   ▪ Predefined shortcusts

It is beyond lame. It is avoding the problem and sure it is done for profit, no merit in it.

Carbon credits is lame. I do believe that you should pay for polluting, but letting countries trade carbon credits voids the whole idea.

Coding Snacks / Re: structured plaintextfile based note taker

« Last post by kartal on May 23, 2008, 06:35 PM »

John I am using 1.9 beta15. I have no problem with background color. To be honest I have not hit any major bugs in 3 years of my use. I have over 600+ wikiwords in sqllite. It works amazing. Developer was very very active and implemented many things I have asked. 

Btw the config file is part of wikisystem, it is another global wikiword. In a sense you are editing a text file but in the end it is integrated into the tree so you do not really need to folder to edit the config, if I understood your question properly.

Just in case it helps, I'm using http://WikidPad now to keep my notes.

-justice (February 11, 2008, 02:12 AM)

I did have a play with WikidPad. And while I would prefer an open source option, I want to be absolutely convinced that a program is solid before I trust it with big chunks of my data. And there are glitches in WikidPad which concern me. For example, when you alter the background colour in the editor, it doesn't work properly. It only adds colour to the lines containing text. Maybe that's not clear. A picture might help:
 (see attachment in previous post)
And you have to edit config files to change the default font size in the editor, for goodness sake...and this is version 1.8.

I still can't understand how SQLNotes work.

-justice (February 11, 2008, 02:12 AM)

Neither can I.  And these days I am a bit unforgiving if I can't work out a program fairly quickly. I also think SQLNotes would just be another case of "over-engineering".

But the more I play with it the more I like the look of AM-Notebook. And just as the discount has expired...

fenixproductions,
That is quite a stretch. Claiming that you understand global warming problem better than hundreds of scientiest outhere is naive. In life every structure affects eachother. If any kind of damage done to biggest structures of earth there would be another reaction to those drastic changes. It is called equilibrium.


I just do not understand people who keep repeating that it is not man made. So because it is not man made we should not do anything about it? Some people just keep repeating what media tells them and then they claim that those are their personal ideas.

Find And Run Robot / Re: Evolution of the launcher?

« Last post by kartal on May 23, 2008, 03:59 PM »

I know you have commented on this one but in case it is forgotten I want to remind again. http://www.webscrape.com/ can open up alot of possibilities with Farr. Maybe this app can use to create results for Farr memo or html view.

it's an interesting direction to purse -- sort of an alternative window into the web.
the html display mode will be available this month.. perhaps i should think of providing some asynchronous web grabbing/scraping functionality built in that plugins can ask FARR to perform for them.. would make it a little easier for plugin writers to do stuff like this consistently and seamlessly.
