I agree 100%, when indexing is added it will be completely optional.

Site/Forum Features / Re: Feature request for DCPostNotifierLite
« Last post by mouser on March 28, 2007, 05:40 AM »
these are great points.

I think the best solution may be #2, to add a tagging feature and then a nice page which would organize categories (maybe hierarchically) so that you could browse by subject.

I have implemented a very specific kind of alternate tagging system already that lets us dynamically generate pages like:

I think expanding this idea to a more robust system of tagging and category browsing is a good idea.  I've posted about an existing preliminary tag mod that someone wrote for smf, and it is our intention to add something like that to DC.

Find And Run Robot / Re: Do any of you customize/alter the Aliases that come with FARR?
« Last post by mouser on March 27, 2007, 09:16 PM »
how about aliases & search folders in a separate ini file?

this may actually be the right way to go -- treat alias files like plugins, so you can easily enable and disable addon sets of aliases.

Find And Run Robot / Re: Latest FARR v2.00.65 ALPHA PREVIEW Release - MARCH 27, 2007
« Last post by mouser on March 27, 2007, 09:51 AM »
New version is up (2.00.65), which has some non-trivial changes to the aliases.

Most importantly is the new addition of a checkbox in each alias that marks it as a built-in default alias, which will be OVERWRITTEN on update. This is very important because it means that users should not modify these aliases (if you want to modify them, make a copy of them and disable the original, or uncheck the built-in/readonly checkbox to indicate you never want it ever updated).

This change was important because it will now allow me to improve the default aliases.  A special backup is now made of your ini file every time a new version of farr is installed so you will have backups in case something goes wrong. Those of you who have customized your aliases may need to re-tweak them again and there may be a case (i think the email alias) where you find a duplicate old alias that might need deleting.

I would *strongly* appreciate any suggestions about aliases i should add.  There are a few aliases that really need some more entries in them, and i encourage users to post their suggestions here.

You'll also find a bunch of new aliases in this version, including a special helpfarr alias which shows you a menu of more farr built-in search phrases.  See the help file as usual for more details, and version history on the first post in this thread.

Hopefully i can move to plugins/visualupdates/speedoptimization with next update.

--

ps. I hope these new alias changes don't cause too many headaches for existing users -- please realize it was important to do so to make sure we could fix and update these default aliases when the need arises because we see a better way to do something.

It went well  :Thmbsup:
It was really only Gothic and Della and two local friends who also visit dc so it was a small gathring.
We went to a local Thai food place which is excellent, then to bar for a few drinks.
Saw 300 on sunday (i was dissapointed).

Gothic and i chatted in irc channel as normal even though we were in same room :)

the latest version that used winpcap3 was:

Version 2.16.01 - Nov. 30th, 2006

So i think that is the one you want, or any version before that.

General Software Discussion / Re: Use SniffPass (free) to get back your passwords
« Last post by mouser on March 24, 2007, 11:45 PM »
I'm confused: if you don't know your password, why would it pass through?

I think the idea is that many of us have our passwords stored in programs like the email program, etc., and they are not shown to us so we can't see what they were or remember them, but they are still actually stored in the program and used.  Which is fine until you want to install software on a new pc or something, and have to recall what the password actually is.

UrlSnooper / Re: Is it Possible to Run 2 Versions of WinCap?
« Last post by mouser on March 24, 2007, 11:29 PM »
a good solution is as you say use a version of url snooper that works on winpcap 3.x, since the changed have not been dramatic.  i dont think you have to go back very far to find url snooper working in winpcap 3.x.  in fact i thought the current version would run with winpcap 3.x if that was all that's installed.  never heard about the packet.dll error.

Find And Run Robot / Re: Latest FARR v2.00.62 ALPHA PREVIEW Release - MARCH 24, 2007
« Last post by mouser on March 24, 2007, 07:07 PM »
Yet another update (v2.00.62) -- mostly minor stuff but a couple of things that good theoretically break stuff, so I look forward to tester reports.  Next release will probably try to address vista issues and display improvements.

Same download as previous alpha releases (send me an email if you want to alpha test, [email protected]).

One notable change is that FARR now tries to launch shortcuts using its helper launcher exe (by default but there is an option to revert to old behavior).  In the past it tried to resolve shortcuts and launch applications directly. I believe this was done because some shortcuts can cause a delay while launching and launching the programs directly doesnt suffer this.  But then I think the helper launch tool obviated the need for this.. But i'm not positive.. So let's hear if you guys experience any issues.

After the next round of improvements I will try to do some speed optimization, then hopefully we can get v2 into public beta release.

I'll also do a little bit more work on the plugin(s) i will release with FARR and then release the plugin API and we can have a little contest for best FARR plugins (so start learning how to make DLLs in your favorite language if you don't know how to already).
