Find And Run Robot / Re: FARR v2.00.01 ALPHA PREVIEW Release

« Last post by mouser on December 21, 2006, 10:26 PM »

\\ has to be at end to mean only show folders
if its in the middle it means match any intervening folder (in other words a\\c will match path a\b\c but not a\b1\b2\c)

ok im not sure i can make enter copy path ill have to think about it, BUT
at the least i can let you configure copy path as one of the actions available in options to associate with ctrl+# or alt+ctrl+#, etc.

thanks myst - i think i have corrected that and we shall see in the next alpha release - thanks.

an option to show folders only, without the files, opposite of the period (.) command at the end of the path.

lanux, you can use \\ at end of typing to show folders only, as you ask.

in case of folders, pressing of 'enter' only copies the path. (as an additional option).

can you explain more?

and for clearing-up something, if \\ is for 1st level sub-folders then must i use \\\ for 2nd level sub-folders and so on, or can i just use \*\ for subsequent folders?

both should work.

Activation/License/Language Help / Re: Can't get past the nagware for Launchbar Comm

No problem at all - glad it got sorted out.
Now that i think about it, it seems crazy that the pop-up reminder thing doesnt have a link you can click to enter the license!  Clearly that needs improving, so thanks for the reminder.

ps.
When you got your email license you also got a link to click to activate your forum membership to full supporting member - remember to activate that when you get a chance

Yeah I think this is not a direction we want to be going here on DonationCoder.  While there are surley cases where you bought a game and want to be able to play it in peace, this is just not the kind of think i think we want to be associated with there i think..

General Software Discussion / Re: Simple, freeware, soundcard output recorder?

« Last post by mouser on December 21, 2006, 11:23 AM »

one thing that's important is that:
i think people are suggesting programs to record audio from one of the sound card LINE IN ports.
but it seems to mean you want to do basically a loop-back type of recording, recording from the sound card's own output.

Total Recorder is the grandfather of all such apps and is a seriously powerful tool; it is shareware but not terribly expensive.

Some soundcards may let you select "what you hear" as the input line, in which case the normal programs above would probably work..

Let us know what you finally go with.

Find And Run Robot / Have you always dreamed of being immortalized in a program easter egg?

« Last post by mouser on December 21, 2006, 11:14 AM »

Have you always dreamed of being immortalized in a program easter egg?


Any honorary/supporting/charter members here who want to have an easter egg in FARR, just message me the following:

The PHRASE the user types + the result you want displayed (should be just a few words or website; if its a website the user can click the result to go to your website)

Note that in order to ensure that this wont eat up any cpu cycles, the easter eggs will only activate if the user types the word 'easter' in front of your special phrase.

NOTE:
your phrase MUST be longer than 8 letters and contain at least 2 words

The best one i know of (not that i know the field all that well) is ReaCoverter, but it's *not* free by any stretch of the imagination:
Rea Converter - http://www.reasoft.c...oducts/reaconverter/
Price ranges from $25 to $99 (ouch!)

I look forward to hearing about the best free one from other members..

Find And Run Robot / Re: New FARR v2 Icon Design Needed

« Last post by mouser on December 21, 2006, 04:42 AM »

nudone the artifacts on your round running mans are a bit distracting to me..
could you attach your original squarish one above, i kind of liked that one.

ps.
confirmed i have added the ability to select from a few preset icon images, so users can choose
included so far are:
original
nudone's enhanced
tuckndar's purple
hamradio's F
nudone's F Key

so here is your change to be immortalized forever in farr by submitting an icon.

ps.
i'd say my favorites are (in no particular order)
hamradio's F, nudone's F Key, TuckNDar's Purple

for those who like the running man, tuckndar's looks pretty nice in the tray i think.

Living Room / Re: adding SATA to a non-SATA motherboard

« Last post by mouser on December 20, 2006, 12:52 PM »

if you have a 5yr old motherboard, perhaps the answer is to buy a new motherboard (or new computer?).  I realize that's easy to say and not so easy to afford, but at some point trying to upgrade these things is more trouble than its worth..

I will contact clickbook makers and see if they want to offer a discount as well;
it would be really nice if patteo or someone else with familiarity with fineprint wanted to do a little mini-review of clickbook, to explore which areas they each excel in, etc.  Patteo are you sure you don't want to write such a mini-review?

NOTE:
this is why those of you sitting on your credits should be sending some to patteo and other reviewers like him, to encourage more such reviews.
