FARR Plugins and Aliases / Re: FARR plugin: FarrWebMetaSearch 1.4.2

What about the output of a executable? That would be interesting...
-Perry Mowbray (February 09, 2010, 04:09 PM)

That does sound interesting. Haven't thought of a good use for it yet though

It's not currently possible. If not absolute, relative to what would you like to specify it?
-phitsc (February 09, 2010, 08:57 AM)

Ok, thanks for the answer.

By "without specifying absolute paths" I was hoping for something along the lines of what's described below. Sorry for the vagueness.

One idea is to be able to specify a path using FARR's "virtual folder" functionality as mentioned in the "Variable Replacements, Virtual Folder Names, Env Paths" section of the help file. For example, being able to use %APPDRIVE%, %PLUGINDIR%, and the like as part of the path specification. For reference, I believe "resolve" described in the "Values Getable by Plugins" section of the FARR help file can help with this.
Another is to be able to apply user variables. For example, I have something like the following defined in the [Paths] section of my user variables:

par=%APPDRIVE%\apps

So using:

%uservar.Paths.par%

as part of a path.
The last idea is for non-absolute paths to be resolved relative the FarrWebMetaSearch plugin (or perhaps searches) directory.

Any of these would help with my portable set up

You mean instead of searching in a file downloaded from the web, you want to search in a local file?
-phitsc (February 09, 2010, 05:37 AM)

Exactly.

I'd like to be able to specify local files for searchUrl (e.g. for a local copy of the autohotkey script listing page).

Is it possible to do this already and if so, is there a way to do it without specifying absolute paths?

It worked. Now it will switch to the chosen folder if Directory Opus is open, or start Directory Opus if not.

Glad to hear it worked out for you

FARR is great.

Sorry for being obscure -- I was alluding to the "Funny" cheat sheet category

BTW, since there seems to be at least one category w/ 5 pages, what do you think about enhancing the .conf to work w/ 5 pages (perhaps you have already done so)?

If you do something like the following (that is adding author to the caption) you can also search by author
-Perry Mowbray (February 05, 2010, 07:40 AM)

Nice!

You can also add simple html to the output if you like, and add context menus...

Thank you for your generous teachings, master

FARR Plugins and Aliases / Re: DevCheatSheets Alias

« Last post by ewemoa on February 05, 2010, 07:50 AM »

Great idea to use http://devcheatsheet...com/browse/?view=tag as searchUrl

The context menu functionality is interesting. FWIW, some multi-page categories I found included:

Adobe Dreamweaver
Adobe Flash
Adobe Illustrator
Apache
Google
JavaScript
jQuery
Microsoft Windows
Microsoft Excel
Oracle
PHP
Python
Regular Expressions
Ruby on Rails
Security
SQL
Unix
Vim

IIRC, these all had 2 pages.

I finally found some w/ more than 2 pages:

Adobe Photoshop had 4
HTML had 5

Hmm...what's this "Funny" one?

Thanks a lot, Perry

Below is the modified and tested (err, slightly) .conf file.

description=AutoHotkey Script Listing
searchUrl=http://www.autohotkey.com/wiki/index.php?title=Script_Listing
resultPattern=<p><a href="([^"]+)" class="external text" title="[^"]+" rel="nofollow">([^>]+)</a> by <a href="[^"]+" class="external text" title="[^"]+" rel="nofollow">([^>]+)</a>
farrCaption=$2
farrGroup=$3
farrPath=$1
isFeed=true

It may be obvious, but just in case: one can get an icon for AHK via http://www.autohotkey.com/favicon.ico

FARR Plugins and Aliases / Re: FARR plugin: FarrWebMetaSearch 1.4.2

« Last post by ewemoa on February 05, 2010, 06:51 AM »

I tried my hand at creating a .conf [1] for a page that's got static results:

http://www.autohotke...title=Script_Listing

This didn't seem to work -- using Wireshark, noticed that FarrWebMetaSearch seems to append the query string to the end of searchUrl. This makes a lot of sense for non-static searches of course

Is there a way to not have it do that? (Sorry if I missed the discussion of how to do this if it has already been mentioned -- I did scan this topic and the help file, FWIW

)

Below is the .conf so far:

description=AutoHotkey Script Listing
searchUrl=http://www.autohotkey.com/wiki/index.php?title=Script_Listing
resultPattern=<p><a href="([^"]+)" class="external text" title="[^"]+" rel="nofollow">([^>]+)</a> by <a href="[^"]+" class="external text" title="[^"]+" rel="nofollow">([^>]+)</a>
farrCaption=$2
farrGroup=$3
farrPath=$1

[1] I'm slightly confused -- I noticed the docs say .config, but only see .conf files. Would someone mind straightening me out?

Below is the result of applying Target's post, Greasemonkey, and XPath Checker. The intended destination is the result(s) text area of an Edit Alias Group dialog. (FWIW, I use 'devcs' for the name of the alias group.)

Sorry it isn't in a convenient form for importing/use. Perhaps it can be improved

Edited to fix an error (thanks for pointing it out mouser!) and changed the sort order.

I don't have a good answer to your important question, however, regarding:

IIUC, the ahk files were moved into a subfolder named "AHK files". Do you see such a folder?

Find And Run Robot / Re: last window id

« Last post by ewemoa on February 03, 2010, 08:05 PM »

Hmm...I don't have those things, but I did give GVimPortable a try.

With the following code appropriately added to FarrFolders.ahk (followed by compiling the script and placing it in the appropriate location), I observed that opening files for editing seemed to work:

Code: AutoIt [Select]

else if f_class = Vim
{
  WinActivate ahk_id %f_window_id%
  Send, {Escape}:e %f_path%{enter}
  return
}

I tried using:

:n .

followed by the enter key to do directory browsing in vim, but this didn't work here.

Edit: Ah, when I try w/ version 7.2, directory browsing seems to work...and the code snippet above seems to work as-is

FWIW, I used the AU3_Spy utility that comes w/ AutoHotkey to determine a value for ahk_class (used in the snippet above -- the value was Vim).

Since FF is widely known [1] and has something close [2] (if not adequate) and they seem to call it "Session Restore", may be that's not a bad choice...especially when asking developers and companies to support the functionality

Even nicer would be multiple sessions -- didn't K-Meleon have something like this?

[1] It is, isn't it?
[2] Didn't know you could do about:sessionrestore in FF...

Find And Run Robot / FarrFolders Demo

« Last post by ewemoa on February 03, 2010, 06:31 PM »

This is a series of screenshots intended to give a taste of what FarrFolders (latest at the time of this writing) can do.

Credits: FarrFolders was conceived of/developed by cardboard42 and rulfzid -- with contributions from others: mouser, nitrix-ud, skajfes, and TucknDar (if I missed someone or didn't credit appropriately, please let me know). Please see this topic for details.

While interfacing with a save dialog, have you ever thought: "I wish I could just use FARR to find the folder to save to!". Well, you can with FarrFolders

1. About to click on a link to download this interesting looking application...

2. Time to confirm the download.

3. Hmm, none of these easily accessible save locations look good...

4. I'll bring up FARR, find the directory to save to, apply the FarrFolders magic (+fao), press the Enter key and...

3. Find folder to save to using FARR...and add magic_ +fao.png

5. Lo and behold! FARR has changed the directory in the save dialog box

4. Observe the results of pressing the enter key.png

I'm using FARR 2.80.02 and not having much luck getting this plugin to run.

My Troubleshooting Log says:

*Loading plugin: FARRAltTab\FARRAltTab.dll
Failed.
*Loading plugin: FARRAltTab\FARRAltTabRCW.dll
Failed.

Is this likely to be a case of -- try uninstalling other plugins?

Edit: I tried a FARR installation with only the plugin in question, but got similar results.

So...has anyone coined a nice short phrase or word to describe this functionality?

I guess there is already the idea of "sessions".

Not as far as I know.

If I recall correctly, it might be slightly tricky because of the modal-ness. BTW, which Vi/Vim are you using?

Unfortunately, git has a pretty high complexity level, and it's pretty easy to shoot yourself in the foot.
-f0dder (February 03, 2010, 06:01 AM)

This is one of the reasons I'm looking at Mercurial

From what I read though, git seems to be much less complex now than it was originally (though that may still be too much).

I haven't started looking at Bazaar yet, but their Bazaar Explorer looks enticing for trying to learn their system.
