Find And Run Robot / Re: Latest FARR v2.00.129 ALPHA PREVIEW Release - July 13, 2007
« Last post by mouser on July 14, 2007, 11:05 AM »
I have now uploaded version 2.00.130

I have made a big under-the-hood change the way that the window is refreshed with new contents.

There is a fair chance that this update will have a bug or two in display updating in some cases but i wanted to push it out to get bug reports coming in as soon as possible.

The new refresh is *MUCH* smoother -- if you try out previous versions, expecially in directory browsing, you would see lots of "flickering" as new window contents were updated and window was shrunk and resized.  You should find now a much gentler update of window contents.

Let me know what you think.

Should Updater hold off on updating itself until its tasks are finished?
this came up today in another thread (https://www.donation...dex.php?topic=9206.0)
and the answer is yes, it's on my todo list, definitely is needed  :up:

i'm not sure if it's a bug either.. it's waiting for you to type something to tell it which directory to go into next, since the first directory listed is exactly what you have in your editbox.

i could make tab in this case autocomplete the NEXT item, which is the first child subdirectory of the current directory.

DcUpdater / Re: Suggestions - offer to close app, and recognize existing download
« Last post by mouser on July 13, 2007, 11:38 PM »
yes this is a known bug.
i think the best solution is just to either force the updater to update first or last, and before the rest.
easiest thing would be simply to make it go last.

New version posted -- the updater tool should have picked it up and installed it for you if you are using it.
(the updater now knows how to smoothly update plugins without ever exiting farr, for maximum convenience).

New version has sine nice new fixes, including much faster directory browsing.

ZillaRank has a new update with a very cool new feature:
You can now sort by relevance or date from the search results page by clicking on columns.

Very very useful stuff - congratulations to wordzilla for his amazing coding work on this!  :up: :up: :up: :up:

DC will never make any discount arrangement that restricts the rights/support/upgrade-policy of a buyer.  If you should ever be told by any company whose product you purchased through DC that you are not entitled to an upgrade because you bought with a discount, let us know and we will step in.  :up:

quick note: thanks everyone for keeping this discussion at a consider level and largely free of political antagonism -- a real pleasure to read the differing positions, i'm enjoying hearing the different views and enjoying that people don't seem to have fallen into that common scenario where they think they have to "win" an argument.

Let me add something i think is important for this discussion:

Most of economic theory seems to be based on the presumption of a fairly rationale (in terms of their self interest) and informed public.

One of my biggest concerns about the world we live in is that the commercial marketplace has their hooks in every level of power in our society, and is set up to distributed advertising/propaganda/misleading information in an incredibly effective fashion, and leveraging every innate weakness of the human psyche.

In such a situation, it's my belief that the normal controls that a "free marketplace" might excercise are ineffective in practice.  You don't get the benefits of democracy if most of your population is not informed about the issues.

I'm afraid it's not possible from within screenshot captor, which will try to always print it on one page.
but you could load the image into another program that might be able to split it up.

add +sall to your search to see more results (i removed it from the context menu).

the extended results list is used mainly for directory browsing+completion.  for example, type c:\ and youll see.

General Software Discussion / Re: Is it possible to search for rogue font types in a Word document?
« Last post by mouser on July 13, 2007, 09:06 AM »
Great question.

If we use skrommels tools to find the list of fonts in use, can one of the MS Word gurus tell us how to find instances of this font in use in the document? i.e. if we wanted to find all occurrences where we used the Tahoma font, how could we do that?

I seem to remember MS Word having a feature to show all paragraph styles used in the document..

DcUpdater / Re: Another Bug, Maybe
« Last post by mouser on July 12, 2007, 03:27 AM »
Here's the .dcupdate for one of taichi's plugins, which shows:
Code: Text [Select]
  1. <?xml version="1.0" ?>
  2.  
  3. <Local>
  4.  
  5.   <!-- basic info to display in updater-->
  6.   <Label>Network Connections Plugin</Label>
  7.   <IconFile>nwconn.ico</IconFile>
  8.  
  9.  
  10.   <!-- version info of locally installed current version, and simple remote version file -->
  11.   <Version>0.0.0.3</Version>
  12.   <VersionFileRemote>http://taichi.dcmembers.com/Plugins/NWConnect/versioninfo.xml</VersionFileRemote>
  13.  
  14.  
  15.   <!-- where to get more info about the app remotely, only queried once an update is discovered -->
  16.   <InfoFileRemote></InfoFileRemote>
  17.   <WebPage>http://taichi.dcmembers.com/Plugins/</WebPage>
  18.  
  19.   <!-- ok how to conduct updates; could be: "Run" (download and run program), or "Visit" (visit website), or "Unzip" (download zip and unpack over files) -->
  20.   <UpdateMethod>unzip</UpdateMethod>
  21.   <SignalForUpdate>FindAndRunRobot.exe</SignalForUpdate>
  22.   <CloseForUpdate></CloseForUpdate>
  23.   <UpdateFile>http://taichi.dcmembers.com/Plugins/NWConnect/NWConnect.zip</UpdateFile>
  24.  
  25. </Local>


The key new lines are:
 <UpdateMethod>unzip</UpdateMethod>
 <SignalForUpdate>FindAndRunRobot.exe</SignalForUpdate>

the zip is unpacked into the same directory as the .dcupdate file (thats how it knows where to unzip)
and the <SignalForUpdate> stuff lets it know to tell the FindAndRunRobot.exe at start and end of unpacking to unload any plugins (this is something unique to farr).

DcUpdater / Re: Another Bug, Maybe
« Last post by mouser on July 12, 2007, 03:14 AM »
Support for updating items that use zip files instead of full-blown exe files has now been added!
It's quite involved so there may be updates of the updater needed soon :)
But basically it now knows how to install plugin updates live, even when farr is running (by having farr unload and reload them automatically while installing).

This should make installing plugin updates really easy.
