Find And Run Robot / Re: [Feature request/Plugin idea] add search in dictionary.com

« Last post by mouser on May 12, 2010, 05:45 PM »

is there a way to put only this part in my Find and Run Robot window?

now that is a great question.. the answer is no, and maybe in future.

there is no currently easy way to do what you want.

the ability to specify a regex to apply on a webpage before displaying would make for a great plugin -- i hope someone will make it.  there are other plugins that do this kind of thing internally for specific sites, but what we really could use is a plugin that can be invoked by aliases that do exactly what you are wanting, take a url and a regex pattern to match to build what to display and then display it.

there is also the WebMetaSearch plugin which is infinitely more complex than what you are requesting, and isn't really suited for what you want, but is related so i thought i'd mention it.

two comments:

now i see how to add my own searches:

keep in mind that you shouldn't edit and modify the alias files in the "Installed" subdirectory (like where the Core-Linguistics.alias file is), because it will get overwritten when FARR is updated(!).  If you really wanted to make your own define alias you could first COPY it from that alias file into your own one in the "MyCustom" alias directory, and disable the built-in one so yours is used instead.  It's a bit tricky but it lets us keep the build in aliases updated.

is there any easy way that i can get result page displayed in  Find and Run Robot window?

there is, but you'll have to make your own custom alias for that.  to do this, check out the "igo" alias in the Core-Internet.alias file (note that you can view and edit these alias files from within FARR in the Alias/Groups tab, or edit the files directly with a text editor).

the igo alias uses the following result to show a web page in the internal farr window:
Internal Surf to $$1 | htmlviewurl $$1

so you see all you have to do is specify "htmlviewurl" in front of the url to have it opened internally.

good luck creating your own custom aliases!

I'm a fan of UltraEdit, but this is one of those deals where unless you have real use for the other items in the bundle (which you very well may not) you're not saving much money.

if you want to use it now, unpack this into your FindAndRunRobot/AliasGroups/Installed/Core_Aliases folder

Find And Run Robot / Re: FARR crashes after installing AltTab plugin

« Last post by mouser on May 11, 2010, 11:49 PM »

kli, do you have other plugins installed? you might try moving them out and trying alttab again without them -- there is a known issue with some older fscript.dll plugins and others.

I'm afraid it's not possible at this time

However, you can set a custom image background for a dock, which would let you customize the look to some extent.

Regarding #1, I have completely rewritten a nice new thumbnail panel system but i just have to tweak it a little more before i integrate.. it solves the refreshing and is better in a bunch of ways.  what i have to do is get the normal right click file menu to work on it.

I thought i solved #2; i will look again.

deo, one thing about ecaradec's work is that:

• unlike ad blockers, it doesnt hide the ads from the web page, and the web page loads and shows as normal.
• it's just AFTER the page loads, and you've seen the ads, you can hit this button to actually play the game full screen.
• seems like a pretty good middle of the road solution to me.

« Last post by mouser on May 09, 2010, 05:43 PM »

well there you have it.

SC is to blame for not complaining, but the reason the SC folder is opening is because you have checked the box in post-cap form that says "launch external editor" but you haven't specified an "Ext. Image Editor" in that tab.

the proper thing would be for SC to pop up a message box telling you about this discrepancy.

so now you have a choice, you can uncheck that box saying "post capture commandline" and put the irfanview in "Ext. Image Editor", or you can uncheck the "Launch External Editor" checkbox in post capture dialog.

the advantage of doing the former is that you'll have a quick button in your main SC window at all times to open the image in irfanview.

you have "launch external editor" checked -- can you go to the "Screenshot Folder and Tools" options tab, and see what you have configured there -- maybe attach screenshot to post.  i'll bet you have something there causing the problem.
