BTW, I should note here that my previous problems with Google Translate were fixed with the reinstallation of Windows Script:

General Software Discussion / Re: Office 2007 Search Command add-in

« Last post by Armando on May 08, 2008, 11:56 AM »

Yes, it says it all... 
an application  like MS Word is like a whole computer with files, folders etc. If launchers/finders are useful for files/folders/apps research, it should also be in these huge applications where there are so many features that it becomes impossible to know them all... and remember where to find them! (Probably this is something farr plugins coders could look into...)

Do you like the MS Search Command Addin?

This post here about recentX made me think that a nice plugin for FARR would be one that listed recently opened documents and recently executed programs, sorted by last access date (i.e. most recently used at top).

I like that.

Recent discussions about applications/addons allowing one to search specific programs' commands (like...MS Word...) made me wonder if farr could achieve such a thing... I don't see why not. It would be interesting and potentially super useful and powerful especially that farr is already such a good launcher with great flexibility.

EDIT : Tekzel posted his comment while I was typing mine. (Maybe I should add for minor clarification that phonon's addon (Natural Word) has nothing to do with Microsoft's own addin to supplement the ribbon with actually something... usable...)

Welcome Phonon. Nice stuff. I tried it and like it. It's amazing how such a needed thing was not available till now (like "GUI" launchers in general).
In my opinion, one thing that would greatly enhance its functionality would be to instantly show a drop down menu (like mouser's amazing Find and Run Robot and other launchers) and all possible commands as one types -- in an incremental search fashion. That way, you wouldn't have to type whole words (and press enter... to realize that you didn't type the right thing) but just a few letters and press enter (or move the right option using arrows) when your desired result/command appears. That is to say : I think that Natural Word should function exactly like other launchers -- and  particularly farr.

Nice work!

General Software Discussion / Re: What’s this "Linux" thing and why should i try it?

I've actually had numerous problems with my canon scanner under windows. Actually, I've had problems with my previous scanner too (both were Canons)!! It was driving me NUTS! Canon drivers can really be nightmarish. If they work, they work, but if there is some conflict with another device or something else in your system, hope to have a LOT of free time on your hands (to either bring the machine back to the store or... reinstall windows... hoping that'll fix it!)

Wireless and scanners are definitely a weak point under Linux, unfortunately. Printers are usually ok (eg : you can buy a fairely recent  Samsung ML-2510 printer, pretty cheap, linux compatible). As Edvard pointed out, it is usually possible to find hardware that'll work... even scanners, but that could mean not buying the latest and greatest... HP is generally moderately good at that; see  http://hp-linux.cern...port/devscanner.php3 and http://hplip.sourceforge.net/ -- Hewlett-Packard's Officejet are usually pretty well supported.

Have you tried this ? Who knows...

Armando: I am lost with you. It actually seams to me that some activexobject doesnt work for you. I remember that you have had problems with new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject"); and now it seams that new ActiveXObject("InternetExplorer.Application"); does not work for you (that is why no window is displayed to you).
So try to reinstall Windows Script:

Restart windows after reinstalling

czechboy : thank you so much !!! It works. And not only does your plugin now works (and it's a really nice one -- I love it), some other things that I was never able to get working work too!!!!!! Like a Word plugin called WordToys that I was never ever able to see in action (https://www.donation...86.msg75957#msg75957 )... To my surprise, I fire up Word just to paste an article and... 1 new toolbar and about 25 new icons appear. Wow. What else have I been missing for all that time...

Yes, I did that -- what I did is zipping all plugins, deleting them, and leaving only the timer plugin in the plugins folder. That didn't work either. Same problem.

Just tried exiting farr now and it worked as expected : no problem. Don't know what happened before. EDIT : BTW, I'm not talking about the plugin here, just farr not exiting properly. The plugin still doesn't work for me.

Thanks mouser.
I've tried disabling all plugins [even removing them entirely from the plugins folder] and then stopping/restarting farr.
Actually, when I just tried exiting farr, the tray icon went away, but the process kept running in the background.
Had to kill the process.
Now, as soon as farr restarted, I got the error.

czechboy : I'll try the new version just to see if the error is still a problem.


About the the error... THe one I encounter the most is :

Script error in C:\Program Files\FindAndRunRobot\Plugins\Timer\fscript.js : Automation server can't create object

This happens when I click on "configure plugin" to get into the plugin manager. And then when I close the window.
It happens also when I run rplugins.

>Does it happen if you click on "Send" button or if you click on "cross" sign on the top of the window?

I'm not sure I understand what you mean. I saw that an extra window seems to appear in the video, but I don't have any window appearing on my side. So no send button. But I can see that send button in the html form in the timer folder. BTW, I'm using firefox --- could that be part of the problem ?


Note that writing tm and a space doesn't do anything. I used to see something about defining the time etc., but not anymore. EDIT : if I enter a few spaces after "tm", I'll actually see...

undefinedText without any date\par
=========================\par
Text: undefined

and that's normal, I guess.
But the other things don't seem to work.

I get these errors when I try to get into/close the plugin configuration window (in farr's option window), and when I try rplugins:

Script error in C:\Program Files\FindAndRunRobot\Plugins\Timer\fscript.js : Automation server can't create object


I also got this message at some point :

FARR variable 'displayname' was not returned for Program Files\FindAndRunRobot\Plugins\Timer\fscript.js

I didn't like the ribbon when I tried word 2007 -- didn't like the fact that I couldn't have as many small icons as I wanted in one loooonnng toolbar. 
But that feature would be very good. Like lashiec, I think that it "should be included by default with most programs."
It's basically farr... but for applications features....

General Software Discussion / Re: roboform2go or sticky password?

« Last post by Armando on May 02, 2008, 09:54 AM »

Hi There is a major security flaw in Roboform as it does not encrypt your passwords in the default folder while in use ,that means if you are hacked it is easy read , I personally was shocked to note this when told by another user …so I strongly recommend you dont use it for important passwords eg bank accounts ….after emailing roboform the agree that is the way it is and until they fix it I wouldn't use it again . I was a great believer in it until I was shown this flaw

Is there a link to a site where that flaw is described? Or is it just private stuff? Thanks.
