Btw I don't think you need to run virtual machines to run two instances of BrowserBunch.. Just copy everything to another folder. Change the .ini to have up to 6 different browsers. Just make shortcuts that point to each BrowserBunch.-MilesAhead (February 06, 2014, 08:04 AM)
Your original question was that you wanted to open a list of URLs in Firefox, have you tried it?
firefox.exe -new-tab URL1
firefox.exe -new-tab URL2
etc
etc
etc
Do you want to open a list of URLs as per your original question or do something completely different?-4wd (February 05, 2014, 10:20 PM)

You're opening a set of URLs, there's no need to automate Firefox - just call Firefox with the URL as an argument, (Firefox' commandline args).Code: AutoIt [Select]
You can probably call Chrome the same way.-4wd (February 05, 2014, 06:52 PM)
Sorry. But I can't make commitments as I have PERT tests to prepare for. It's been a long time since school. I'm just starting to get an idea how much I've forgotten.-MilesAhead (February 05, 2014, 01:56 PM)
There's both compilers and scripting languages there. Not as much free as for Linux. But still a good selection.-MilesAhead (February 05, 2014, 01:28 PM)
Any Windows scripting that does Gui Windows and controls. You might look here to start:

A Drop Down Box has the advantage you would not have to change the Gui it is in once you got it working. Adding more items just lengthens the list. You could have the default or most used at the top. To use a different browser select from the drop down list. Reading from a text file a line at a time should be pretty easy in most scripting languages. Therefore I'd look for something that makes it very easy to make the Gui Window or Dialog.-MilesAhead (February 05, 2014, 12:37 PM)
You might try something that makes it easy to do a drop down list. Then you could always add more. What's the limit with Browser Chooser?-MilesAhead (February 05, 2014, 09:23 AM)
BrowserBunch is implemented in AutoIt3. I have stopped doing au3 development. I intend to do virtually all Hotkey type programs in AHK_L or some AHK variant. As current au3 programs lose relevance they will be retired.
I like the structure of AutoIt3 but the hotkey functionality is just too limiting for my purposes.
In any case when I was forced to move Au3 source code was lost. For small utilities such as these it's just not worth the effort to reconstruct the missing pieces.-MilesAhead (February 05, 2014, 06:50 AM)
Miles the difficult point seems to be the same script for Firefox and other browsers. Exists or is a pending task ?

IE based browsers have an ActiveX engine hat can be programed. That's why BrowserBunch ignores it. It's a different animal than Firefox/Opera/chrome.-MilesAhead (February 05, 2014, 06:43 AM)

I have learned from the advanced Firefox extension, Linkification, to appreciate this feature, so I am thrilled by SelectoSurf.
However, icons icons icons icons and icons
- I can have no more icons in the system tray!
Mouser, please consider a version that does not display an icon in the tray?-Curt (January 01, 2007, 09:07 AM)
There are a few little tools that can do this -- but i made one i think is pretty good:

It's made in AutoHotkey with source so you can always change how it works if you need to.-mouser (February 05, 2014, 05:01 AM)
Try Windows Easy Transfer. It's built in.
1) click Start
2) type "tr"
3) select Windows Easy Transfer
4) select 3rd option
5) select this is my old computer
6) select only your user account
7) click customize linkselect only Windows settings (and program settings if you want those too)
9) click advanced
10) clear the checkboxes
11) click next
12) type password
13) select the save location of your .MIG file -- it will save the settings to a file you probably want to use a flash drive
14) rebuild your box
15) run Windows Easy Transfer again -- you should be able to figure it out from there
Do the community here a favor and write this up as a tutorial if it works for you as I've been strapped for time recently and always meant to do it!-Deping (February 02, 2014, 03:09 PM)
I use PA Backup every day and it's never let me down so I've no need to try any other back up program. Did install cobian on a friends computer once but I wasn't overly impressed (it looked horrible too in my opinion) and installed something else instead.-Deping (February 02, 2014, 03:47 PM)
