Find And Run Robot / Re: %cliptext% then ENTER/RETURN

« Last post by mouser on December 11, 2019, 05:50 PM »

I think you should just be able to add "\n" to the end of the string you are sending to FARR to simulate pressing enter, so send "Search %cliptext%\n"  like that?

Tip: Ctrl+R on an image (or set of selected images) will let you rename the image(s) (though the dialog could be improved).
I will improve the rename dialog so it's more convenient.

Try redownloading for latest version (1.09); the new version should detect and remove missing files better.
Let me know if you still find it leaving thumbnails of deleted files.

ps.
The reason I ask how you deleted the files, is that there are essentially two ways to delete files, one is using the Delete key, which tells MMB to handle the deletion; the other is to use the right-click context menu, which let's windows explorer do the deletion; the latter case I wasn't updating the view, but I now am.

ps2.
If the program detects a change in the monitored directories, it has two options.  One is to do a full rescan of the folder(s); this is slow but would detect any changes you make outside the program (renaming, moving files in or out, etc.).  MMB will do this is there are only a few files show (< 100 files).  What I've added now is that if there are > 100 files, and it detects a change in the folders, it will simply rescan your selected images and find any that are now gone.  This should handle most cases, though it does mean that for large directories, if you add files outside the program, you will need to do a File -> Rescan to see them.

Ok, yes this can be done in a couple of ways.. I just need to wake up first and remember how

Can you tell me how you are triggering the search in FARR from your macro? Is it from the commandline or are you sending keystrokes, etc?

Delete is now instantaneous (even within large folders) -- there is a quirk in that the actual view of the deleted file remains in the viewer pane until focus is moved to another file.

Well that's a bug then, it shouldn't stay in the viewer, so I must be overlooking something..

Can I ask how you are triggering the delete?

If you're feeling adventurous you can redownload and try the latest beta, with fast deletes even in huge folders..

Looking at the code, I see that it's actually a bit worse than I thought -- when you perform an operation like a delete, it actually re-scans the entire set of files and then compares the new and old so it can do some updates of the thumbnails "smartly".. For small directory this yields a good result of minimal visual disturbance when the folder changes.   But what that means is that for a huge recursive directory, its going to be even slower than doing a full refresh rescan, without the ability to abort.

So.. I will put on my todo list some more sophisticated updating of the folder after changes.. For deletes it should be able to just instantly remove the files.. maybe i can detect renames and additions too.  But then in the worse case with a large collection of files I'll just trigger a normal refresh so you can at least abort..


Until then, I suggest folks avoid using the delete feature within the program when inside folders with hundreds or thousands of images, because of the slow speeds, at least one-off deletes (you can mass delete files pretty efficiently).

Yeah I'm guessing what's happening with the slow delete is that it's triggering a "rescan" of the folder, which is slowing things down substantially.. It's designed to detect changes in folders and rescan, but maybe i can fix that and make it smarter about when a file is deleted not doing a full rescan.

As for the incorrect thumbnail.. let me know if you find any more clues..

Mousers Media Browser / Mouser's Media Browser v2 - Dec 30, 2019

« Last post by mouser on December 11, 2019, 08:08 AM »

WEB PAGE: https://www.donation...ousers-media-browser

This will be a small utility for browsing directories containing images.

I decided to make a standalone utility that could be used as a helper for other tools, like my other NANY (Automatic Screenshotter).

It will start out with a fairly simple feature set but there is plenty of room for improvement.

Key feature:

• Lots of viewing modes to find the one that works best for you.
• Option to show recursive contents of folder tree (with search filtering and sorting)

Note that there are excellent powerful free image viewers/browsers (irfanview, xnview, etc.), and it would be foolish to try to compete with these.  My aim here is to make a more streamlined, focus helper utility.












v2.0.1 - Dec 30, 2019

Screenshot Captor / Re: Screenshot Captor Ver 4.31.2 Stopped Working - Windows 8.1

« Last post by mouser on December 10, 2019, 10:00 PM »

It's a clue that the installed version isn't working properly but the portable is.. It could be some problem with Screenshot Captor saving files in the normal user documents area that it wants to.. Or it could be a security program blocking it, or it could be some other issue.

You might try uninstalling screenshot captor, and then manually deleting the entire "C:\Program Filesx86\ScreenshotCaptor" directory as well as the "C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\Documents\DonationCoder\ScreenshotCaptor" directory and then try reinstalling..

Hmmm... I have never heard of such behavior..
You could try 1 of 2 things:

• 1. Run the installer again, and this time make sure to check the box during the installer that tells it to erase all of your past Screenshot Captor settings, so you start with a clean install.  This would help if something got messed up about your settings.
• 2. Or, download the portable zip version and unpack it to a new directory and trying running that copy and see if it does any better; that will also skip using your old settings.

Find And Run Robot / Re: New feature idea: Aliases conditional on active window

« Last post by mouser on December 08, 2019, 03:03 AM »

I can definitely see the value of having farr results be conditioned on the current/last active window..

But I am wary of trying to add stuff to the alias configuration dialog to support this.. it feels like an awkward match.

What you want COULD be done using a FARR plugin.. the only trouble is the complexity involved in writing a FARR plugin.. 

It seems to me a cleaner approach might be an easier and more flexible system for writing short script-like plugins..  That would let you more easily write a mini script to do what you want.

Find And Run Robot / Re: request: FARR window position and size as FARR variables

« Last post by mouser on December 08, 2019, 02:50 AM »

That's an interesting idea.. so the goal is for a script or plugin to be able to know the size and position of the FARR window... Normally you could get that with a windows call, but i guess if the FARR window disappears before the tool is launched it's too late..

My only concern with using the Farr variables is the idea that farr would have to save that file after every launch..

I could certainly make the size+position available as variables that can be passed to a launched app/script, or retrievable from a plugin call, that would be easy..
