Find And Run Robot / Re: Alias help needed
« Last post by mouser on January 15, 2009, 08:13 AM »
oh its definitely doable and i cant see why you'd have to wait more than a week or so for a good solution.. there is a member on the site (nitrix-ud) who can usually find some ingenius way to do things with farr and he could probably find a solution to this without any new coding, but i still think this is a good candidate to figure out a more general solution.

i didnt even know you could restrict the unread post views like that -- cool.  :up:
Might be worth putting up links on the unread posts page so users could apply those filters.

Living Room / Re: The Bailout Game
« Last post by mouser on January 15, 2009, 07:02 AM »
This game is not realistic.  For more realism it should have:
  • Some schools and hospitals begging for money and the treasury guys saying "we have no money!"
  • Pictures of the billionaires using the bailout money to buy upgrades for their yachts so they can more quickly deposit their profits into overseas banks.
  • A rule where if a corporation says the magic words "we are too big to fail" then you have to give them as much money as they want.
  • A rule where you lose the game and are fired if any taxpayer ever finds out where the money went.
  • A rule where you are only allowed to play the role of somene distributing money if you can prove you used to run one of the banks or mega corporations that the money is going to, or if you promise to be the ceo of one of these corporations after you leave public office.

LaunchBar Commander / Re: Question or request - start LBC auto minimized to tray
« Last post by mouser on January 15, 2009, 06:39 AM »
I think it should remember its state -- so if you close while minimized it should start up minimized -- that's the idea anyway.
i could make it an explicit option though.

Find And Run Robot / Re: Alias help needed

ok so this is sort of similar to the work ewemoa did on a putty plugin for farr (see here: https://www.donation...ex.php?topic=16498.0)

and i think we can see a general use pattern in what you want, that could be useful in other cases.

in general terms, you want to be able to type a keyword and extra search terms that will search a specific folder and do filtering according to the search terms, and then when a file is chosen/launched, you want to launch some specific program and pass the filename (perhaps manipulated to remove the .ini or other stuff) as an arguement.

it seems to me that is something that could have uses beyond ssh and so might be worth figuring out a general solution to, maybe using a plugin, to keep it clean.

let me give it a little more thought about the most sensible way to do it that would be more generally applicable.

the easiest way to do 99% of what you want is to create a new alias, lets call it sshlaunch
with regex pattern as you say: ^+ssh (.*)
then in the results but something like
"dosearch D:\Documents and Settings\t148594\Datos de programa\SSH\Sessions\ +openinssh"

that should make it that typing ssh blah
will show matching filles in the sessions directory, as you want

and it would add a special modifie "+openinssh" to the search string

then the missing piece is that you need a plugin to look for "+openinssh" and know that that means to open the file using
"C:\Archivos de programa\SSH\ssh.exe" and passing the filename (without file extension) as an arguement.

its that last part that you would still need a plugin for.

now this does bring up an interesting idea, which would be to add something to farr that would let you handle this without a plugin, perhaps by letting the alias specify not just a dosearch but some kind of dolaunch statement.  so that the ssh alias would specify how to launch the result after it is triggered..

Find And Run Robot / Re: Alias help needed
« Last post by mouser on January 14, 2009, 04:00 PM »
Yes, i believe you could do it using a couple of alias tricks, most notably the "dosearch" alias trick .. it's just a bit weird.. weird enough to wonder if it might be wiser to write a little javascript plugin for farr to do it instead.  Maybe if you could elaborate on the actual use you have in mind and other cases that might use same approach it would crystalize the issue?

General Software Discussion / Website Watcher 5 is out - Plus Aignes.com blog
« Last post by mouser on January 14, 2009, 02:59 PM »
Long time members of DC will know that programmer martin aignesberger has been a friend to DC -- always giving us free copies of one of my favorite programs (WebsiteWatcher) to give away, and just being nice in general to DC.

Since i don't think it has been mentioned yet i just wanted to point out that martin has officially released Website Watcher 5, and mention that martin has a blog which describes the new features and may be interesting reading: http://www.aignes.info/blog/

If you haven't read my long review of WSW you can view it here to see why i like it so much: https://www.donation...bWatchers/index.html

I should point out that the review is quite old so you should check if there are other programs, particularly free ones, that might meet your needs if you are just a very casual user.

Living Room / Jan 13, 2009 - Important Windows Update Patch - Apply ASAP
« Last post by mouser on January 14, 2009, 02:52 PM »
This is an update people should apply right away -- I've applied it without incident.

This security update resolves two privately reported vulnerabilities and one publicly disclosed vulnerability in Microsoft Server Message Block (SMB) Protocol. The vulnerabilities could allow remote code execution on affected systems. An attacker who successfully exploited these vulnerabilities could install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. Firewall best practices and standard default firewall configurations can help protect networks from attacks that originate outside the enterprise perimeter. Best practices recommend that systems that are connected to the Internet have a minimal number of ports exposed.

This security update is rated Critical for all supported editions of Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003, and Moderate for all supported editions of Windows Vista, and Windows Server 2008.

Now here's an interesting find from dc member Veign's blog.

ScriptCopy.com web directory allows you to find scripts on the net that are similar or mimic functionalities of popular websites.

The site lists both commercial and free / open source tools.

Find And Run Robot / Re: Alias help needed
« Last post by mouser on January 14, 2009, 01:05 PM »
now if you really NEED to have is search a folder for the parameters in the way you are saying, maybe you could explain a little more.. i'm not sure there is really a way to do it yet but there might be a trick to do it, or it might be worth adding a feature for it.

Find And Run Robot / Re: Alias help needed
« Last post by mouser on January 14, 2009, 01:04 PM »
there is a much easier way to do what you want using aliases, *assuming* that you dont actually *need* to have each of the parameters as a file name as you describe.

the method would be to create a new alias, lets call it fjapp

the contents of fjapp alias would look like this:

c:\program files\fjappdir\fjapp.exe param1
c:\program files\fjappdir\fjapp.exe param2
c:\program files\fjappdir\fjapp.exe param3
c:\program files\fjappdir\fjapp.exe param4
c:\program files\fjappdir\fjapp.exe param5

that's it.

now when you want to launch it with the third parameter you could just type into farr: "fjapp 3" and hit enter.

--

if you wanted to get fancier you could give nice labels like:

launch fjapp with parameter 1 (cats) | c:\program files\fjappdir\fjapp.exe param1 blah blah -cats
launch fjapp with parameter 2 (mice) | c:\program files\fjappdir\fjapp.exe param2 "more stuff"
launch fjapp with parameter 3 (doodads) | c:\program files\fjappdir\fjapp.exe param3 "other parameters"
launch fjapp with parameter 4 (ice cream) | c:\program files\fjappdir\fjapp.exe param4 "etc","etc"
launch fjapp with parameter 5 (zebras) | c:\program files\fjappdir\fjapp.exe param5 -a -q

etc.

ooh, that looks like good reading! thanks for the link.  :up:
20944
try this:
undock the dock, move the UNDOCKED window to the monitor of choice and exit, then try restarting and docking.. in other words you may be able to get it to rememer the monitor # if you can get it to remember that the location of it undocked is on that monitor.

i will try to release a proper fix soon.

FARR Plugins and Aliases / Re: FARR plugin: Akete
« Last post by mouser on January 14, 2009, 08:18 AM »
both prefixes seem good to me, or even use "ow" as a prefix (for open with)
so
+owtxt
would open with whatever is configured as txt editor.

FARR Plugins and Aliases / Re: Everything plugin for FARR
« Last post by mouser on January 14, 2009, 07:25 AM »
It works!! ha!! great stuff!

Couple of comments:
1. the browse dialog in advanced options still has "locate.exe" as default filename -- this should be now "es.exe"
2. for everyone trying this -- you need to have the everything.exe program itself running in your system tray for this plugin to talk with it.

Very cool!  :Thmbsup:


20948
vrokolas, it works!
lets continue the everything plugin discussion here: https://www.donation...ndex.php?topic=16582
20949
this is exciting vrokolas, but it doesnt seem to work for me..
it loads, i see the advanced config, i point it to the everything exe,
and when i type "loc test" it seems to start up everything.exe but no search results are shown to farr window.

EDIT:
I see my problem -- i was pointing it to the main gui everything.exe, when what i needed was the portable commandline es.exe from everything download page: http://www.voidtools.com/download.php

trying again now.
