Find And Run Robot / Re: Latest FARR v2.00.54 ALPHA PREVIEW Release - February 22, 2007
« Last post by mouser on February 22, 2007, 07:29 PM »
mja - thanks for pointing that out! i will change it so that it uses default ordering UNLESS you type exta words to filter+score.


Is there a modifier like +ALL or -ALL override/force result limits?
If there is none, wouldn't it make sense to have one instead of using context menu "search for all matches"?

very good idea, adding to my todo list.

I love this question.  I don't have much advice to offer but I am keenly interested in what others suggest and in hearing how it works out for you.  Please keep us informed nluoma, I know you aren't the only programmer-parent who is interested in the subject, and I'd love to hear how the project works out.

scorcho,

We had debates about this.. In the end i decided that the best solution for such needs was to write a super tiny super efficient helper tool that lets you use combo keys like double-tap control or double-tap right shift, etc., to trigger any other hotkeys on your system.  It's called "TapTap Hotkey Extender" and it's perfect for those who want to trigger FARR with such special combos, or trigger any other function on their computer:

Note: The last few releases of FARR seem to "wake-up" noticably slower than previous releases for me; This will be fixed before final release.

what would happen if you have multiple aliases sharing same 3 to 4 letters

try it on v2.00.54 - it will now partially match against all aliases and show you hints for all of the aliases (but not activate their contents).

Version 2.00.54 is now up at same url, it's a bugfix for the last version, which broke some of the alias functionality.

ps.: alias search filtering/scoring does *not* work with regular expression aliases; however i did think of a way to add it if people really want it, though it's a bit complicated because typing extra stuff can invalidate the regex or else get captured in it.  alias filtering/scoring is meant more for non-regular expression aliases.

I have one wish though (hopefully not too difficult to code), It would be *very* convenient if you had an option to make farr complete from your alias list.
As it is now if I have an alias like "editor" it is not until I have typed the last 'r' in the alias name that farr is recognising the alias. If it was incorporated in the normal autocomplete (and I used it alot) it would popup after I had typed the first or second character. (hope you get what I mean)

this is one of the bugs i added in the last release - im working on fixing it now and should have a release today with the fix.

OsNews.com (great site):

Process This - a Personal Analysis of the State of 'Office' Computing

This is a response to the first part of the word processor review recently featured on donationcoder.com. I have WordPerfect Office X3, OpenOffice.org 2.1, and MS Office 2003 all installed on my computer, and the article stirred up some of the opinions that have gradually come to settle in the depths of my mind. So here are my thoughts..

lanux do you have multiple bookmark files in different profiles? i'll add a duplicate remover im just curious as to why there are so many duplicates.

Cody you magnificient bird, you've finally got yourself a web page   :up: :up: :up:
And it really is a work of art too.  The best part, i think, is the free advice "ask cody" page.  I know i've been meaning to hire a professional psychologist but now that Cody's advice page is up hopefully i can save myself a few dollars.

Screenshot Captor / Re: Bug ? No "Shadow" with "GIF" & "No Flatten background Transparency"
« Last post by mouser on February 21, 2007, 04:31 PM »
It's due to gif format not supporting gradiations of transparency, so a pixel is either 100% transparent or not - which kills the shadow effect.

The solution is to do "merge background transparency" from the object menu for any image, just remember it's a one way operation, once you merge the background transparency (shadow) it's permanent.

« Last post by mouser on February 21, 2007, 11:10 AM »
The idea that it's good to fess up to your mistakes is an important, but easy lesson to learn.

A harder lesson is equally important:
Don't make extravagent promises that you can do something in X days, and hope that if "everything goes perfectly" you can meet that deadline.  Most programmers I know, including myself, tend to grossly underestimate how long something will take, and nothing every goes perfectly.

Thank you those very nice words j1webb  :-*
It's really nice to hear that people are getting some use out of the emailer especially.

As for virtual printer.. it's such a completely different process that i think it's unlikely that i would add it, but really only because i think there are some good tools for this already (free virtual printer that lets you print from any app to an image file).  Maybe people can suggest some they know about?  It would be a nice thing to add to the SC help file.

Keep the suggestions coming though!

if anyone is having problems like teegee and wants to try a new version of the FarrFox plugin:

https://www.donation...com/Beta/FarrFox.dll
[note: if you downloaded before i posted this addendum and get an error about the config file for FarrFox being unsupported, please redownload - small bug]

download that and replace your existing FarrFox.dll in the find+run robot plugins/farrfox directory.

It now searches recursively from Mozilla/Firefox directory so shouldnt matter if you have Profiles subdir.  It also lets you specify custom file location for your FireFox bookmarks (go to advanced config and specify the full path to your bookmarks.html file).


Notice: I will be replacing FarrFox with FarrMarks soon, giving it the ability to search firefox and opera, and ie bookmarks.
