General Software Discussion / Re: What the hell is OpenCandy?

« Last post by mouser on May 15, 2009, 11:27 PM »

but your intent is clearly subversive.

may i hazard a guess that as a new user of the forum, this just didn't occur to andrew and that his intent was not "subversive" 

come on guys -- by all means disagree and express your opinions strongly.. but what happened to that old DC spirit of assuming the best in people and giving people the benefit of the doubt.  we can disagree in good faith without accusing someone of knowingly subverting the natural order of the universe just because they haven't configured their signature.

wouldn't it be more in DC spirit to tell andrew how to use the signature system and then wait for him to rip off his mask and reveal that he is doctor evil before making the accusation that he is doing it on purpose because he has figured out that people can disable signatures and has come up with a clever dastardly way around that loophole, so that everyone will see his name at the end, and never be able to disable it.

ps. note that the link at the bottom is to his twitter page, not to OpenCandy page.. damn you guys are really in attack mode lately.. Deep breaths everyone -- remember all you old timers are ambassador's for DC -- you are supposed to be setting a standard for humility, generosity, and a welcoming spirit.

History list (and search folder list) now auto-correct when drive letter changes -- good for portable use.
Not uploaded yet -- will be in next update.

Exit farr and delete that file "D:\FindAndRunRobot\Plugins\FarrFox\advoptions.cfg.tmp" and "D:\FindAndRunRobot\Plugins\FarrFox\advoptions.cfg" and restart.

Living Room / Flight simulator site avsim.com loses 13 years of community data to hacker

« Last post by mouser on May 15, 2009, 07:43 AM »

News like this makes my stomach turn over..

Avsim.com was a large community-driven flight simulator site -- and a hacker apparently destroyed 13 years worth of data on the main server, and wiped out a secondary server where they kept all the backups*.

*[It still seems hard for me to believe they don't have some backups offline].

you can always launch an ahk script and pass it the active window handle from farr -- in fact i think someone already did this.

FARR can paste text into the application that had focus before it was triggered.
I can actually quite easily add the ability to send arbitrary keystrokes/hotkeys as well if people want, or of course a plugin could do this.

Find And Run Robot / Re: Pydoc and getting results in Farr

« Last post by mouser on May 14, 2009, 11:49 PM »

added command to temporarily put memo into fixed font mode, since i think kartal's need will match others.
the command is:
tempmemofont fixed

or you can use
tempmemofont custom
to put memo into the custom configured font setting temporarily.

it will revert to normal on next search.


ps.
i notice that your output says "please wait a moment..."
and just point out that the next version of FARR lets you call
appcapappendmemo
instead of appcap
which will show lines as they are outputted by the console tool, which is useful for commandline tools that take a bit of time to run.


features will be in next update.

FARR Plugins and Aliases / Re: Looking for current vesion of Console (FARR2 Plugin): get version failed

« Last post by mouser on May 14, 2009, 10:43 PM »

Any way of returning the console output immediately when there is an output? and not waiting for the console to terminate?

appcapappendmemo is now implemented but not yet uploaded (will be in next release), and lets you see output as it runs.

so instead of doing:

[Select]

appcap c:\windows\system32\ping.exe donationcoder.com;;;showmemo %lastappcap%

you would do:

[Select]

showmemo Output of Ping:;;;appcapappendmemo c:\windows\system32\ping.exe donationcoder.com

[EDIT 5/18/09: fixed, thanks for pointing out the error djbobo]

« Last post by mouser on May 14, 2009, 10:19 PM »

ah yes i see -- its not a fixed spacing font.
i can add an option to fix that i think -- to workaround it for now, go to options, custom font settings, and set a fixed font for the memo.

can you elaborate about issue 1? maybe a screenshot?
as for memo background color -- not currently but would be easy to add.

« Last post by mouser on May 14, 2009, 06:21 PM »

ok fixed (but not yet uploaded); will be in next release.

as we guessed -- it was caused by the active window being slightly offscreen (according to the getrgnbox windows system call).

will be in next update.

Post New Requests Here / Re: IDEA - Visualizing time left vs. time needed

« Last post by mouser on May 14, 2009, 02:21 PM »

interesting idea..
are you saying that for each instance of the program you run it would track and show one interval and one task?
what about a program that let you configure multiple interval+task pairs?
can you elaborate on what the visual display would look like?

i'm thinking this coding snack could be modified for your purposes maybe:

General Software Discussion / Re: What the hell is OpenCandy?

« Last post by mouser on May 14, 2009, 02:04 PM »

Watched the demo video -- very helpful to see it in action.

I stand by everything i've said above -- seems fine to me, and i like how it launches the normal installer for the recommended program if the user chooses to install it, so user can always change their mind and cancel, or uninstall later, etc.

Couple things came to mind watching it:

• Developers need to very clearly identify whether the program being recommended is freeware or shareware -- you wouldn't want people installing programs they think are free only to find out they are shareware.
• It would be nice to add to the OpenCandy recommendation screen a link where the user can Learn more about the recommended program (taking them to it's web page), and maybe a link to OpenCandy page describing what it is.
