Nice work, jpprater. My wife and I own a TON of books so I'll give this a shot.-skwire (December 31, 2009, 07:16 PM)
Thank you! I need to write an actual user manual for it to post on the wiki, but I'm very proud of what I've produced so far.
Dude, mouser just slipped me a major bugfix! Latest version is out on the Redmine project, and it includes showing all processes, as well as showing icons for some processes that wouldn't show them previously. 
Props to the mouseman!! 
I've put some documentation on how to build FARR plugins with FScript on the FARR plugin developer wiki at : http://farr.dcisv.co...script_documentation. The easiest way to start is by taking a plugin and modifying it to your need. It's easier to start in javascript or vbscript because other script language require custom setup on your desktop.Nice job, ecaradec!-ecaradec (December 26, 2009, 09:57 AM)

I wrote this to keep track of my personal library at home. It would take some modifying for it to be ready for use with a really HUGE collection in a public environment.
If you want a feature that's not there, feel free to email me about it via the discussion group. I wrote this to keep track of my personal library at home.

There's also a project discussion group hosted on Google Groups, so please send any comments, suggestions, or issues there.should be same effect -- send me the plugin where you give farr the exe paths as icon paths and ill investigate why farr might show a blank ([email protected]).Sent. Good luck!-mouser (December 17, 2009, 11:38 AM)
).a note, you can return the full path of the exe as the icon file and farr should load the appropriate icon from the file.. i think.That's if the full path can be captured in the first place.-mouser (December 16, 2009, 05:26 PM)
Nice, this will come in handy!Thanks, glad you like it.
A couple of initial remarks: Am I supposed to press Space after 'pinfo'? I would've thought that just typing 'pinfo' would be enough... (I suppose this might be possible if I change an alias setting in FARR, though)
And +sall modifier doesn't work, so I only get a short list and need to know what I'm looking for. support for +sall or an option to display full list of processes would be very nice.
Great stuff!-TucknDar (December 16, 2009, 02:16 PM)
thanks for the explanation, could help others-mouser (December 14, 2009, 03:43 PM)
kudos for sticking at it AND advising the fixThank you, mouser and Target.-Target (December 14, 2009, 04:01 PM)
The DllCall relied on having a valid hWnd for the script's window, but it was written based on the script running in the AutoHotkey interpreter, not compiled independently. The class was still the same, but the window title wouldn't match anymore because the title of a compiled Autohotkey script's window becomes the path to the executable (unless otherwise set). 
you might consider trying to show and filter results live.. that is, always return to farr the complete list of processes running and let FARR filter them to match what user types.
i'm just impressed that you are grabbing this info using javascript! that's pretty damn cool.-mouser (December 11, 2009, 09:16 PM)
Thanks. I'm using WMI to retrieve it (using the SWbemServices interface, which plays well with anything that works with COM; I could've written this plugin using python, too ). Thank you for your help getting it working in the first place!| Application Name | FARR Plugin ProcessInfo |

So I wrote this to be the fast, simple tool that I as an admin need to get information quickly., then download the plugin file (attached below) and unpack it to a subdirectory of $FARR_Install\Plugins. You know what I did? Look at line 37 above. That += should have been a plain =. 
SEARCHING:Yup, I got that far.
FARR plugins usually search with every keypress, and the plugin is called after every keypress.
The search function sent to your plugin actually also tells you whether user hit enter at the end of their search, in case you want to handle that event as the "trigger" specially. This is most useful when you have a plugin that is not showing a list of results but is showing some output in richtext or browser mode.-mouser (December 11, 2009, 11:33 AM)
TRIGGERING:Unless I'm mistaken in my reading of the documentation, that's onProcessTrigger(path, caption). I've implemented that, and FARR's not responding.
Now if your plugin is returning standard results as the user types, like internet links, program or data file paths, clipboard text snippets, or internal search strings or aliases, etc., then your plugin never has to worry about triggering anything, since farr will do this automatically.
FARR does call a special trigger function that lets you intercept it's normal "trigger" functionality, both for your own results and results generated by normal search and plugin.-mouser (December 11, 2009, 11:33 AM)
SO:So I might be better off taking out onProcessTrigger and implementing that behavior as part of my "search" function?
The bottom line is, if the result is returned as a normal FARR result, then you can either let FARR handle the launching of it, or you can catch it with the special trigger function.
If the results are being displayed in richtext or browser mode, then there is no official "TRIGGERING" that gets called -- instead you can either respond to the press of enter by checking the flag in the search function that is called, OR there is a new keypress function that gets called when various keys are pressed that you could use instead (cant remember the names of these functions maybe fscript gurus can help here?)-mouser (December 11, 2009, 11:33 AM)
