funny.

ps. offtopic:
if you saw a certificate alert pop up when viewing this thread, it was because jgpaiva linked to an image in another thread and used an https link, which triggers the secure protocol for grabbing the file, and causes firefox to warn that the secure certificate for the server is not signed by a known source.  nothing to be concerned about.

Thank you very much for taking the time to post this.
It's one of those programs I wrote that very few people use so it's always nice to hear it's useful for someone.  :Thmbsup:

type +sall on your search to show all results.
i can't remember what the extended list count is used for, i think it (used to be) for directory listing.

yeah jgp that's the real bug.
maybe ill take another shot at fixing that. (or at least do as i say and make a manual overide window height adjustment option).

ah i should have thought about that too. still seems like something that farr should prevent from happening so maybe ill try to fix.
thanks for reporting the fix though  :up:

« Last post by mouser on July 20, 2008, 03:17 AM »
i'll try to fix it, i know the basic cause but not specifically why it kicks in.
the easiest thing may be for me to put a special override setting in the font customization dialog that would take care of this problem.

Great comments Carol  :up:
We are setting up a kind of alias system for dcmembers on the new server and you've pointed out some stuff i hadn't thought of.

do you have custom font settings configured?
this problem can occur when FARR miscalculates the needed height for the window.

General Software Discussion / Re: No choice for screen size
« Last post by mouser on July 20, 2008, 12:43 AM »
the short answer is no.
if a program is not designed to let you resize its window then you can't really bypass that in a useful fashion.

the technical answer is that you could probably use a third party experimental program to force the window to a different size, and you might be able to do some resource editing of the form data to resize it.  the first technique is likely to result in a smaller window but all the controls on it messed up.  the second technique is probably not feasible but could theoretically yield a solution but would require a skilled reverser and its hard to know how feasible it would be.

best advice is look for a 3rd party replacement program that is designed better and will work with your weatherstation.

ProcessTamer / Re: Intermittent Firefox Issue 3.0 with Process Tamer
« Last post by mouser on July 19, 2008, 04:07 PM »
it's hard for me to imagine a case where its not showing that process.. not that i doubt you of course.. i'm just not sure what it could be that would be causing PT to not show it.. what operating system are you using?  is it possible that ff3 is running under one user and pt under another? (not that that should really make a difference)

do you see anything unusual about the ff3 listing in the other task managers where it shows up? maybe the name is blank somehow and its causing PT not to show it..

i will check out the PT code soon again and see if i can spot anything, and maybe make a debug version to help test.

just uncheck the upper right checkbox to turn off all use of aliases in a given file.

or wait a few days for me to implement that feature im talking about.

One of the features i want to add very soon is an OPTION to say that FARR should not try to match aliases or plugins unless you start your search with a special character.  this could help avoid situations where people are having aliases accidentally trigger when they dont want them to.

so if the option was enabled for example then if you just type search words it will only match against files on your disk.
and to get an alias you would do like @music, at which point it would ONLY match against aliases.

ok first of all, there is a music alias that may be causing this trouble for you.
go to the alias tab in options, select Core_Aliases\Core-Search.alias at top
and UNCHECK the music alias (or if you prefer, disable this entire alias group by unchecking checkbox at top right).

see if that helps.

if not, go to your search folders tab in options and disable all but start menu folders. see if that helps.

Find And Run Robot / Re: new farr: aliases now requiring [enter] twice
« Last post by mouser on July 19, 2008, 01:17 PM »
It kind of seems like the installer may have done this.

i wonder if somehow when the installer forced FARR to exit it caused the ini file to get corrupted.
the farr code specifically wont overwrite the past ini file until it knows its saved it successfully but then i did change the ini file writing code recently and maybe something got messed up there.

HOWEVER:
go in your FARR directory
and look for a subfolder named: BackupIni
you might be (pleasently?) surprised by how many backup ini files are in there :)

the truth is i became paranoid about the thought of people losing their ini files at one point and so did this backup ini
the irony/problem is that this was really motivated mainly by the fear that people would lose their ALIAS definitions, but now aliases are stored in separate files so this wont help in that case.  i might need to backup alias user alias files.
