Just want to congratulate mouser on this great app, can't say enough praise really. It's the start of everything I do on the pc, except for running a quick command prompt as the cmd alias is in the way ;-) Also, I can't find any more bugs and think it's definately ready for the public.

Can you not create/generate a one-time scheduled task for the deletion/moving/renaming of the folder at the said time the user requested? the scheduler is already running and offers you the flexibility of error codes, triggers and what not.

If it's software that's runinng in the background:
download and run http://www.microsoft...lities/Autoruns.mspx and check out any program that doesn't have its publisher listed, possibly uncheck it (could be spyware).
after that see http://www.codinghor...archives/000888.html

If its hardware, do you have a desktop search running? perhaps it's something to do with your hard drive controller, see if udma is enabled in the device manager.

Usually it's either one or the other.

DcUpdater / Re: LATEST VERSION INFO THREAD - DcUpdater - 1.12.05 - JUN 30, 2007

« Last post by justice on July 02, 2007, 05:53 AM »

This program is going to be so popular  Can't wait!

Are you going to register the .dcupdate extension with explorer so users can double click the .dcupdate file to load it in DCUpdater? And so that scripts can run the .dcupdate extension to register their application? This was one of the issues I was thinking about for my updating program that has never been resolved.

Associating .dcupdate files manually works fine here on Vista. FARR .dcupdate too.

I did notice by the way that Wilma can be a bit demanding when it's looking through my personal documents, but my friend ProcessExplorer came to the rescue and managed to tell her off.

DcUpdater / PAD databases and software subscriptions

« Last post by justice on June 29, 2007, 01:35 PM »

As I am anxiously awaiting Mouser's DcUpdater, I was looking for programs which it could update. From the other thread it looks like DcUpdater supports PAD files. Now I am assuming many programs that are listed on download sites (perhaps all?) like snapfiles, filehippo, download.com get updated via pad files. So I was going to start a thread about your programs pad files... HOWEVER..

There are already websites that contain PAD databases! Why not make a list of them here so it will be really easy to search through them, perhaps it could even convince mouser to add in a search function to return results for queries to all these databases? That way we could subscribe to software updates from  WinRar from within DcUpdater: enter winrar, dcupdate then queries the pad databases, returns the result, and the user can click a subscribe button. 

The two that I found:

http://downloads.asp-shareware.com/
http://paddatabase.com/

I have found a shell extension that allows you to create Hard links, junction points, symbolic links and Folder Clones without having to use the command prompt. http://schinagl.priv...ardlinkshellext.html

It also has a great article on what these things are. As you can see it works from windows NT4 upwards, including Vista, which is bettre than any other alternative.

Find And Run Robot / Alias autocompletion

« Last post by justice on June 26, 2007, 04:48 AM »

Is it possible to use aliases to limit results?
for example say if I have an alias "add to winrar archive" (alias would be called "backup" for example) could I then do something similar to:

[Select]

c:\utils\\.txt +backup

to add all text documents in a folder under c:\utils to a winrar archive?

I ask this because currently you'd have to start the FARR command with an alias, so the autocompletion which is so great will not work for the $$1 after the alias. It would be good either to have the autocomplete work for aliases or to be able to add in the alias after the command. Possibly both. I could then use

[Select]

backup c:\utils\\.txt

I guess if this is already possible, then this is a hidden request for a "getting started section" which would show various FARR commands (from simple to complex) with a screenshot showing the result in farr.

Post New Requests Here / IDEA: mklink gui (symbolic links)

« Last post by justice on June 22, 2007, 05:54 AM »

I've started to use the new mklink command to create symbolic links, junctionpoints etc with windows vista. However I would really appreciate either a gui for creating these links (with overview of already created links) or context menu options for quickly creating the various types of links via drag/drop or right click.

As basically you can make a symbolic link to a folder with symbolic links to your recent projects, then have them work as regular folders in the quick launch toolbar. (navigating through folders without clicking). It would be a great timesaver not to have to start an elevated commandprompt and do copy and pasting paths to make up the right mklink.

If you don't know what I am on about see the article.

Maybe obvious but I would love to see vista support, as I can't get it to work on Vista Enterprise, I tried compatibility settings but no to avail.
