Find And Run Robot / Re: [bug report] when in html view mode : escape does not work anymore

« Last post by mouser on June 11, 2008, 03:41 AM »

ok i think i might understand.. you may be in the result list view when you trigger, and then when html view engages, it doesnt start you out in the html view, so you cant use scroll wheel or escape.  i'll fix that so focus shifts into the html view.

Find And Run Robot / Re: Open With

« Last post by mouser on June 11, 2008, 03:38 AM »

just email me ([email protected]) if you need help getting a plugin coded.. i'm always happy to help plugin coders.  i don't think anyone has yet made a launch-takeover plugin -- it would be great to have an example of one.

in addition to this openwith idea, another popular one would be a +RunAs modifier that let you specifiy an alternate user (admin) to run a program as.

Find And Run Robot / Re: [bug report] when in html view mode : escape does not work anymore

« Last post by mouser on June 11, 2008, 03:21 AM »

when in html view mode, escape would put the cursor in the search box
as of last release this does not work anymore, however if you click inside the html view, escape works as expected

i don't get it.. when does escape not put you back in search box?

I think it would still be worth considering to add something like /OPTIONS="bli blah bloh" where the options string would be passed to the EFuncName_Allow_ProcessTrigger function somehow to be used by the plugin.

i think this is a really good idea.  i think it actually could be done with current code by doing like:
Results: dosearch c:\blah\config files\$$1*.xml +OPENWITH=notepad.exe

and then have a plugin look at the search string for +OPENWITH= when it comes time to decide whether it wants to take over launching of a file.

to be clearer: plugins have the ability to take over the launching of each file instead of having farr launch it.  and farr will ignore modifiers like +OPENWITH=blahblah.  so you just need a plugin that decides to look for +OPENWITH and takeover those launches.

It would really be great if nitrix (and others) would make some short screencasts demonstrating different ways they use FARR.

Find And Run Robot / Re: [Feature Request] Back/Forward mouse keys in HTML Viewer

« Last post by mouser on June 10, 2008, 02:44 PM »

I must have been mistaken about it ever working, since the web browser component has no code to detect such buttons.
Nevertheless i was able to add code to detect and simulate the mouse buttons so this works now; will be in next release uploaded tonight.

i agree completely.. im not sure when they stopped working since they worked at one point in my coding, but i will try to fix it. it should be simple.  i may have broken it during intercepting of the Escape key.

im also hoping to eventually get it so you can use some navigation stuff from the edit box without ever switching to html panel, like pgup,pgdn,wheel scroll.  (id like to get wheel scrolling working in memo view too).

Find And Run Robot / Re: Minimal web pages which fit into FARR HTML View

« Last post by mouser on June 10, 2008, 10:39 AM »

very cool stuff!!!
nod5 that time one is a great one for demoing the new feature, very cool.

we need to make an alias pack, complete with icons, for all of these htmlview things.

by the way using the showhtml command it should be possible to create aliases that use their own self-containted html and javascript to do some of this stuff and not even need a connection to the web.

« Last post by mouser on June 10, 2008, 10:32 AM »

this was sort of a feature request, but a lot of people dont seem to be happy with the new behavior.
i'm modifying it so that if you hit a hotkey and FARR doesn't have focus it will still set the hotkey text, UNLESS the hotkey search text for the hotkey is blank, in which case it will just refocus FARR and *not* clear the searchtext.

One of the new plugin features that will be coming very soon will be the ability to specify a custom right-click context menu for items displayed.  That would make it easier to do things like show menu items to open printer etc.
