Living Room / DC Forum Members -- Tell Us About Your Website

« Last post by mouser on June 20, 2008, 03:21 PM »

It's long overdue that we started a thread like this I think.

If you have a website (or two or ten), or help to run one, tell us about it!
Whether it's a commercial site or not, I don't think it matters.

Only one condition: You have to have made at least one other post on the forum about something NOT related to your website first!  In other words, don't be rude and make your first post on the forum all about yourself (and if you haven't found any interesting posts to comment on before now, check out the newsletters for ideas).

If you don't run a website but are dreaming of starting one, feel free to talk about that instead.

well that is doubly strange since i didn't think i changed anything since then.
does it matter what control has focus (search box or results) when you trigger it? any other clues you can figure out about if it works sometimes and not others would be appreciated.

it's confusing to me why this has stopped working for some people.. it's not on purpose.  it still works fine for me.  i will try to get it fixed for next release.

Find And Run Robot / Re: Won't Start Programs - Vista

« Last post by mouser on June 20, 2008, 09:48 AM »

 

it's kind of bizarre how the different methods of launching work for some people and not others..
the new version that worked for you seemed to cause issues for others, so until i find a surefire single method that works for everyone, the next release will contain another option setting to choose the method.

again i want to thank you for taking the time to post and being willing to try out these different versions and settings -- it helps me make a better program for everyone and it's a huge help to me in resolving some of these tricky issues.

ok, progress!

feel free to stop experimenting with FARR if you get frustrated.  as long as you are willing to test though i will try to fix and promise not to give up.

there is another option to check out, see this post:
https://www.donation...42.msg71626#msg71626

it's the "Always launch shortcuts directly instead of resolving links" option on the General options tab.

---

my experience is that for every 1 reported problem, there are dozens or more experiencing the same problem -- so i really do appreciate when people are willing to report such things as test.  feel free to email me at: [email protected] if i can help more directly.

anyway like i said, don't feel obligated to keep testing, but if you feel like it then i'll keep bugging you with things to test until we get it working

bump.. maybe we can get this thread revived?

We are going to have a DC fund raiser in the next couple of months, first in almost two years, and it would be nice if this happened soon after.

i'm sorry for you troubles..

an issue was found in the latest version which resulted in it not launching programs for some people; if you still have the patience you might try redownloading and see if it solves the problem:

FARR Plugins and Aliases / Re: New plugin: FARR MultiMonitor

« Last post by mouser on June 20, 2008, 07:14 AM »

another solution to the dilemna which might be better even for people not using this plugin would be for me to populate the initial contents BEFORE the initial display.  that would solve your problem and speed up display as well.

FARR Plugins and Aliases / Re: New plugin: FARR MultiMonitor

« Last post by mouser on June 20, 2008, 05:48 AM »

something to think of for future:
option to shown on desktop where mouse is (and maybe default to this if no active window?)

and perhaps a sub-option for centering:
[] only center when initially appearing (current method keeps re-centering as the window changes sizes)

holy cow what a cool thing to do. going to try it now.

Find And Run Robot / Re: Tip: Htmlviewurl works for local files too! :)

« Last post by mouser on June 20, 2008, 04:32 AM »

it's wonderful seeing more people create plugins.
and we have to always remember to thank ecaradec for his miraculous fscript javascript plugin interface which is making it possible.

Find And Run Robot / Re: Tip: Htmlviewurl works for local files too! :)

« Last post by mouser on June 20, 2008, 03:19 AM »

try:
FARR.setStrValue("launch","htmlviewurl file://FULLPATHTOFILE/filename.html");

but you need to know the full path to the file.
i will add a new variable %PLUGINDIR% soon so you can more easily refer to a file in the plugin directory.

i am going to be adding a feature to aliases so that you can choose to launch them as soon as they match, without having to hit enter. will be soon.

i also hate the free cursor positioning -- but it's an OPTION in microed, you can choose to disable that.

Find And Run Robot / Re: new farr: aliases now requiring [enter] twice

« Last post by mouser on June 19, 2008, 05:18 PM »

I have just upgraded to the latest farr and now my aliases do not launch when they are the top item in the result list.  Instead, when I hit enter to launch them, if I haven't typed the complete name, all that happens is the rest of the Group Alias Name gets pasted up where I am typing and the result list is filtered to reflect that.

yes i noticed that too.. will fix in update next couple of days.

Related (?): When I'm using fcalc (also newly updated) and hit [enter], it used to just add the current expression/result to the result list below.  Now, it closes out fcalc, replaces what I've typed with "fc", and shows a farr result list containing everything with "fc" in it.

jgp's explanation seems likely to me.

« Last post by mouser on June 19, 2008, 04:51 PM »

I like the overall look, just have 2 small visual quibbles:

1) the left hand sidebar touches the line, which gives me a bad feeling
2) the top text needs some antialiasing to reduce the jaggies, which make it look less professional.

Find And Run Robot / Re: Troubles configuring FarrFox

« Last post by mouser on June 19, 2008, 04:47 PM »

thanks for reminding me; since i've been finally doing a lot of farr updates i promise to look at this in the next couple of days and release an update.
