With a little ingenuity you might be able to use skwire's Bestimate for this. Worth a look here's a link.

Sorry you've had a hassle. I agree with you, let's wait to see how others get on.
Thank you for working so hard on this!

(I had the same message from TimeZone and, because I'm busy at the moment, I simply dropped back a couple of versions pro tem.)

Thanks, I've found that I've outdated plugins, may be this is why I can't reproduce this issue. I'll try to find the exact same version. Which version of FARR do you have btw, if I have the exact same setup I should get it dammit ?

-ecaradec (January 08, 2011, 01:45 PM)

v2.93.01

FWIW, whatever combination of plug-ins that I've tried here, causing an ugly with fscript2/FARR, has been corrected by reverting to the old system.
I haven't tried with no plug-ins at all — should I do so?

Mouser's praise for you is first probably because it's so well deserved

I've been trying to drop plug-in items from FARR one at a time.
I had fscript2 working with just 1 plug-in (TimeZone - thanks Perry) but then FARR threw an error as soon as I tried to look at the plug-ins list.

I tried to reproduced it on XP SP3 as well, but couldn't, but it might be some subtle combination of installed plugins ? What plugins are you running ?

FARR Plugins and Aliases / Re: FScript2, a new way to build javascript plugins for FARR

« Last post by cranioscopical on January 08, 2011, 08:51 AM »

Yep, I spoke too soon about it working.

With Timezone and ProcessInfo loaded, and PrinterList removed, if I try to look at the plugins through the FARR interface I get an error and the only way I can get out is to kill the FARR process.

Let me go back to the old way and make sure that wasn't happening before (I don't spend a lot of time looking at plugins in FARR )

I just reverted to the old way. Problem gone. It's fscript2, I hate to tell you.

On my system, once fscript2 is loaded I can't exit FARR normally, even without trying to look at plugins.

I'm on XP SP3.

PrinterList plugin doesn't work.
Subsequent to that search for plugins in FARR shows empty (unloaded), as it should but then anything I try to do with FARR throws an access violation error and I have to kill the process to escape.

TimeZone works
ProcessInfo works (I think). It loads but I can't get at it due to the issue mentioned above. Once Printerlist fails to load things go bad.
