Find And Run Robot / How to install Google Dictionary in FARR

« Last post by siouxdax on February 22, 2008, 09:38 PM »

How do I add Google Dictionary to FARR. I unzipped the file and placed it inside the scripts folder. But when I bring up FARR and type in "gd whatever" nothing comes up. What am I doing wrong?

Mouser, I know you'll help me out. You're the FARR mega-master. Obviously.

General Software Discussion / Re: Send link and/or webpage?

« Last post by siouxdax on February 10, 2008, 10:04 PM »

CrossLoop isn't at all the sort of program I need. Simply, I'm on my laptop reading a Wikipedia article in Firefox. I want to read that same article (same URL) in Firefox on my desktop PC. I'd like to press a button on my laptop that opens Firefox (on my desktop) and that URL on my desktop. That's all.

I feel that CrossLoop is too much effort for such a (seemingly) simple task.

Both are connected via wireless network. I'm not wanting to use bookmarking services, as I'd have to eventually delete them. What is this CrossLoop that you speak of? FYI I'm talking about links that would be temporary in use.

Yeah, I use Foxmarks for bookmark sync, but I want something that would just open up Firefox and display the sent page. I don't mean to sound picky, but I've been itching for this sort of app for a while now.

And besides, I'm wanting it for temporary use of webpages; so I don't want to have to delete it from my bookmarks then re-sync...

General Software Discussion / Send link and/or webpage?

« Last post by siouxdax on February 10, 2008, 07:37 PM »

I'm wondering if there's a program that can do what I want, which is best explained in an example. I have two PCs, one laptop, one desktop. Let's say I find a webpage on my laptop, but want to "send" it to my desktop, or in other words have it display on my desktop PC. Is there some sort of app that I could just press a button and the displayed page is sent to the other PC? I hope this makes sense. Of course, I'd like this to work both ways: if I'm on a page on my desktop and want to send/display it on my laptop, I'd like to just press a button, and voila!

I imagine this would require a home network, which I have...

Any ideas? Is there something that already exists that does this?

Kind Regards,

General Software Discussion / Re: Wallpaper Manager?

« Last post by siouxdax on December 19, 2007, 07:28 AM »

Firstly, my most sincere apologies for the delay in my reply. Second, I am so overwhelmed by the replies with tons and tons of information about the myriad of programs to manage wallpapers. Slowly though, I am going through them and trying them out. As one of you said, there are a few good ones, and a lot that's just pure excrement. He was right about that. Some of these just confuse me as to why they were made the way they made.

Thank you so much for all the help!

Kind Regards,

I hate to say this, but both of those programs are the type that I'm trying to avoid. I just want to be able to look at thumbnails with filenames, ability to sort by name and date, and a simple button to apply the selected pic as the background. No screensavers. The only thing I liked about MuralPix was the ability to exclude subfolders.

General Software Discussion / Wallpaper Manager?

« Last post by siouxdax on December 15, 2007, 06:05 AM »

Does anyone know of a good freeware wallpaper manager? Currently I have to open Windows Explorer, go to the folder where I keep my wallpapers, find the one I want, then right-clicking on it to select "set as desktop background". I use xplorer2 as my file manager, and it doesn't have that capability. I don't really need or want my wallpaper to change ever so often, I just want a good, simple app to manage and set my wallpapers.

Thanks in advance. You folks rock!

Find And Run Robot / Program Icons Won't Show...

« Last post by siouxdax on September 22, 2007, 08:21 PM »

I use the following alias "DVD", but no icons show for the programs that are to be listed. I right-click on them and select properties, but nothing comes up. The alias is:

1000>>>DVD>->WinDVD 8 | "C:\Program Files\InterVideo\DVD8\WinDVD.exe">n>AnyDVD | "C:\Program Files\AnyDVD\AnyDVD.exe">n>VLC Player | "C:\Program Files\VLC Player\vlc.exe">^>myaliases.alias

Any help, suggestions, etc would be much appreciated.

General Software Discussion / General Context Menu Editor?

« Last post by siouxdax on June 12, 2007, 01:33 AM »

I'm looking for a (freeware) program/utility that enables you to edit context menus within Windows Explorer (or, in my case, xplorer2). I know I've seen this software somewhere before... And I have no idea why I don't still have it installed.

Anyone have some input on this query?

Kind Regards,

Find And Run Robot / Help with a group.

« Last post by siouxdax on January 07, 2007, 01:59 AM »

I'd like to create a preformatted group (or alias) that allows me to enter a keyword and "press" the "I'm feeling lucky" button of Google. In other words, I'd like to bring up FARR and enter "lucky donationcoder.com", lucky being the alias/group name, donationcoder.com being the keyword. I don't want to see any search results, I just want the "I'm feeling lucky" result. How can I do this? I do have a group/alias that gives me a Wikipedia result for a keyword, but I haven't been able to copy it and try to modify it for it to work in this situation.

It's late for me and I'm sleepy, so I hope this makes sense. LOL.

Thanks guys!

General Software Discussion / Good Freeware Video Editor?

« Last post by siouxdax on December 29, 2006, 04:47 AM »

Anyone know of a good freeware video editor. I have ArcSoft Showbiz pre-installed on my PC, but I don't like it very much. I'd rather support open source. All I really want is to be able to do some basic editing, fades, add sound/music, titles, etc. Also want it to support a variety of formats. I've looked all over the internet, then realized I should ask here. You guys rock.

Find And Run Robot / Re: FARR GUI Behavior

« Last post by siouxdax on June 17, 2006, 11:55 PM »

Hello Mouser:
Thanks for the reply. I do have the edit bar always on the bottom and I only have it set to display the first three entries, so there's ample room below. The program does drift upwards over time, and it doesn't hold its horizontal position either. Other than that I can't imagine living without this program.

Find And Run Robot / FARR GUI Behavior

« Last post by siouxdax on June 16, 2006, 09:57 PM »

Firstly, I absolutely adore this program. A feature I'd like to see in the next release is the ability to dock FARR, or at least have FARR remember it's position. After using it several times, it tends to creep upward. I like it to hover just above the Windows toolbar. Also, I've noticed that sometimes FARR shrinks vertically, partially hiding the help and options buttons.

Regardless, thanks so much for a FANTASTIC utility!!!
