« Last post by mouser on July 08, 2009, 10:29 AM »

absolutely.
i'll ask gothic to install DokuWiki, which i really like.

maybe a shorter subdomain name would be easier..  farrcoders.dcmembers.com or fcoders.dcmembers.com? farrapi.dcmembers.com?

Find And Run Robot / Re: Latest FARR Release v2.107.04 beta - Sep 23, 2012

« Last post by mouser on July 08, 2009, 10:06 AM »

minor update:

Version 2.70.01 - July 7th, 2009

• [BugFix] Using the igo alias multiple times could result in an error about "Resource In Use" for users with old versions of Internet Explorer 6 installed.
• [BugFix] Attempt to fix icon display and launching for some .LNK shortcuts (especially x64 programs on x64 OS); let's see if this breaks anything for other users.
• [BugFix] Clarified the statusbar display during initial searching.
• [MinorFeature] Program now checks file existence of previous launch history on startup which should avoid the delay on first search.

you can just delete, no need to uninstall.
but you do need to run the installer and point it to the real place afterwards.

i.e. it's important to have the latest install be to the right location, and it's going to default to the previous location when you run the next install, so pay attention to the location that is set as default when you run the next install.

mouser... you have a PDF manual for FARR???

actually the help program i use (the great Help+Manual) can easily make pdfs from the same source it uses to make .chm files, so it's easy to do -- i just figure few people care enough to bother mentioning it.. i wonder if i should make clear links to them?

BrowserTraySwitch / Re: No longer switching default browser..

« Last post by mouser on July 07, 2009, 11:35 AM »

i fixed the basic problem.. and the new version manages to switch browsers now, though in one case it seemed the browser (avant) wasn't "convinced" it was correctly set as the default browser and so was offering to reassert itself, which is annoying.

the good news however is that i realized a much cleaner way to do this. the bad news is it will require a day or two of coding.

Web Log Filter / Re: Web Log Filter - discard and replace

« Last post by mouser on July 07, 2009, 11:33 AM »

i seem to be the only person on the planet who ever used Web Log Filter that it gave me a real fright to see a question about it.. definitely not one of my more popular tools.

i actually recently used Web Log Filter for the first time in a while and it took me a few tries to remember how to use it.. it's not the most obvious thing.  but it does work and serve a useful purpose.

one thing that tripped me up was remembering that it doesn't want to modify the original file, but create a new output file.

can you first make sure you can figure out how to get it to process your file and create a new output file, and then experiment a bit with getting it to reject lines.. once you get that working, let me know again if you still have trouble blocking images.

And definitely take a look at the included NoImages rule carefully -- it's just a sample and it may not cover all cases, etc.

I can put up an older version if you want to try that -- i don't know how any change i made could have caused this.

Check your "C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAMEHERE\Application Data\DonationCoder\ScreenshotCaptor" directory, especially if you are on vista on win7.

Borland C++ Builder Contest / Re: Error 2061: Friend must be functions or classess...Why??????

« Last post by mouser on July 06, 2009, 04:48 PM »

youve got nested templated classes
   "template<class U> class Helper" is inside "template <class T> class Matrix"

while the code may be ok, i wouldnt be surprised if the old Borland C++ Builder 5 compiler had a bug and was getting confused with this.  im not sure what a workaround would be..

though i could be wrong.

Living Room / Re: What's the best registry cleaner? Ask Leo says: none

« Last post by mouser on July 06, 2009, 03:24 PM »

Simpler solution is to install a virtual OS (there are loads of host options these days some free) and only test stuff in the virtual OS keeping your main OS clean of all the crap that accumulates.

amen.

LaunchBar Commander / Re: Updating did me in again

« Last post by mouser on July 06, 2009, 09:48 AM »

I think it was just a matter of having to open the right .mcf (launch bar) file; it may have been that when LBC shut down for updating, it didnt save a record of the last file that was open, and so when it restarted it opened up its default file.  something like that.

BrowserTraySwitch / Re: No longer switching default browser..

« Last post by mouser on July 06, 2009, 09:13 AM »

ok it looks to me like the thing causing the trouble is BrowserTraySwitch is making changes the LocalMachine tree in the registry, and the current OS method is to use the LOCALUSER tree.. i should have a fix today.

BrowserTraySwitch / Re: No longer switching default browser..

« Last post by mouser on July 05, 2009, 08:43 PM »

ok ill investigate.. maybe one of the xp service packs broke something..

question: do you log into xp as administrative user or as a normal user? maybe that has something to do with it.. i use xp as admin.
