Third, people have been requesting an easier way to pass parameters to a tool for a while now, and i think it's time for me to add it. The idea that i think we settled on for how to do this is to allow some way to express on the search line that you want to pass extra paramaters to the launched program, like: "search terms :: param1 param2" that would tell far that whatever you type after the :: should be passed as commandline parameters. Thoughts?

Some way of passing commandline parameters is really needed. Perhaps launchy's method is the most intuitive one. Pressing Tab would add a special visual separator (a triangle if I recall correctly) behind the text in the searchbox and you could write any parameters needed. Now, since Tab is used to autocomplete there should be a check to see if currently selected item in the result list is executable or not before deciding what would be done (autocomplete or take commandline parameters).
In the meantime, here's my alias that helps a little:
1000>>>exec arguments>->$$1.$$2 $$3>+>(.*).(exe|bat) (.*)
Now the only thing to keep in mind is that you have to enter the full path to the desired application or utility (which is easily done by pressing Tab on the selected item)
Hope it helps,
