LaunchBar Commander / Re: Suggestion: Search option

« Last post by AbteriX on November 29, 2009, 12:03 PM »

M> do you mean a way to use LBC to search items on the lbc dock?

For example here on superboyac screenshot
i want to type 'laun' and wanna see a list of all items containing 'laun' in the name.
Instead of opening all sub-menus to find all items containing 'laun' .


M> what i was thinking instead was to let FARR know about LBC items..
I on my own didn't want to use two tools to find one app to start 
But i can understood your idea, it is just not handy for my (portable) kind of use.

General Software Discussion / Re: Text editor with filtering of lines

« Last post by AbteriX on November 27, 2009, 04:53 PM »

I need a text editor that can do filtering of lines in view like dopus. If you have ever used dopus you know that you can filter the visible files by typing wildcard masks (e.g. *txt) ...etc

What I want is something similar but for lines in text files, using regex/wildcards/characters. Almost all editors (ultraedit, pspedit, notepad++) have this feature in find and replace, with ability to list output in separate window ...etc but none do it in place. 

This is basically useful for when i need to find certain types of lines in files and edit them. Visually narrowing the file from a bunch of lines to just a few entities that I'm interested in quickly to edit is very appealing and necessary!
Especially for log files, xml files ...etc.

The key difference is I want to have it in-place (i.e. in the editor window itself).

I know what you mean, i wanna do the same in the past to, but...
Perhaps its just an habit of use?
Basically in HippoEDIT you can "Highlight" and  "Bookmark"  all lines containing 'popup'
so you have an visual filter of---  and in "Bookmark Output" an clickable list of all matched lines.


With VIM i would just do an search and jump with 'n' and 'N' through the matched lines.

LaunchBar Commander / Re: New arguments other than %file%

« Last post by AbteriX on November 20, 2009, 02:58 AM »

One more vote for adding %clipboard% 

But not only for Arguments but for "Application/Command"-field too.

Also placeholders like %Para1% for the "Application/Command"-field would be handy
to be prompted by an inputbox
to execute the "Application/Command" with different parameters on the fly.

LaunchBar Commander / Re: Hotkey commnads via icons

« Last post by AbteriX on November 20, 2009, 02:49 AM »

Or maybe better provide an %arg% parameter.

I think about using this %arg% in "Application/Command"-field.

If LBC find %Arg%, the content of the Arguments-field is saved as temp file with an extension given after %arg%
and the placeholder "%arg%.ext" is replaced by the name of this temp file
and the "Application/Command" is executed with this expanded command.

That way i could use
Application/Command: cScript %Arg%.Vbs //B //T:20
execute: cScript %tmp%\xfgskxnnkj.Vbs //B //T:20
or
Application/Command: AutoHotkey.exe [Switches] %Arg%.Ahk [Script Parameters]
execute: AutoHotkey.exe [Switches] %tmp%\iudshjbbf.Ahk [Script Parameters]

LaunchBar Commander / Re: Hotkey commnads via icons

« Last post by AbteriX on November 19, 2009, 06:28 AM »

Maybe you can use the "Arguments:" box at "Application/Command/File/URL" Tab for this issue?

Just add an feature to save this Arguments as temporary file in %tmp%
and give this temp-file as parameter to the app defined in "Application/Command"-field.

After executing delete the file.

LaunchBar Commander / Suggestion: Search option

« Last post by AbteriX on November 18, 2009, 04:08 PM »

Perhaps you also can add an search-for-an-item option?

I imaging an field to joker-search for an item from current LBC-dialog. (I don't mean the LBC config dialog)
The search should show all matching items from the dialog
and also search all sub-items
and all files from folders-items.

If it is difficult to implement this into the dialog, then this could be an button to launch an search dialog.

LaunchBar Commander / Suggestion: Explorer-like-tree layout

LaunchBar Commander / Re: Never Show Tray Icon / run&close

« Last post by AbteriX on November 18, 2009, 03:47 PM »

Ups  sorry for the late reply, i forgot it.

M> If i added a commandline argument to run LBC (and optionally specify a .mcf file)
M> and close after you launch an item or hit escape, would that do what you want?
I think it is not wise to launch LBC in different modes.
Just an another button while in non-docked mode would be nice: the [X]-button could close LBC completely (my wish),
and an new to add [_] minimize-button could do what the [X]-button does right now: minimize to tray.
 
And ESC-key to remove LBC from memory as addition option would be nifty too.
(i want to drop my "launchTool-and-close" request now, i think i didn't really need this)



M> are you planning on actually having it docked to the screen with this configuration?
No, not docking, just start LBC and pop-up an dialog - chose an item, or two or three - close LBC.

But...
i can even imaging to decide  now-or-then to dock LBC for an moment till i want to launch the next tool.... and close LBC then (via context menu).
Wouldn't be that nifty to decide at start-time if i want to dock... or just pick an item and close LBC.
But that is only an "nice to have"... not an really request.


I want to use LBC on an USB-Stick --- e.g. from an button on an file manager menu-bar.
I feed LBC with all my tools and point to folders with an lot of executables, like Sysinternals or NirSoft tools.
Like PStart-Tool or like that does (that gives an other idea... i will open an new post for that)
So i plan for this issue not to let LBC run the whole day and let the tray-icon wait for me.


M> like what you would really want is to show a menu or a pop-up square box of icons or something,
Right.

M> centered on the screen or at mouse.
Good addition.
"centered on the screen"  would be enough for my habit of use.


Thanks for the "open ear".

General Software Discussion / Re: text editor question

« Last post by AbteriX on October 29, 2009, 02:55 AM »

I downloaded hippoedit, while it has "find all" it doesn't allow me to "select all" and copy all selected

-kalos (October 28, 2009, 11:09 AM)

As i show you in my above post: you can redirect all found lines to an new document/tab.
There you can select all (CTRL+A) and copy it to the clipboard (CTRL+C).

Right now the file name and position where this content was found is included in the output too.
But here one can simple do an rectangle block selection and delete this before CTRL+A/C.

General Software Discussion / Re: text editor question

« Last post by AbteriX on October 28, 2009, 10:12 AM »

Hi kalos,

EmEditor can't do that? I was thinking this is an such common task every editor should be able to do that?

I use www.HippoEDIT.com and he does it (see picture).
You can collect to "Output pane" or to an new document.


Well, there is room for improvement, but the author knows and will do this.
If you have more question you can ask there in the forum too (without he hassle to register first.)

What is HippoEDIT?

HippoEDIT is an Text Editor for programmers, coders, admins and power users (English)

HippoEDIT is a powerful, fast and easy to use text editor for Microsoft Windows, primarily targeted at power users and developers. It has a modern and lightweight skinable user interface, multi-tab environment, seamless web and help browser, file and project explorer, external tools integration, and many more features. HippoEDIT is implemented with a great attention to usability guidelines, so it is equally suitable to both novice and experienced users. User interface is highly customizable and adoptable to current programming language. The editor comes with pre-defined syntax highlighting for C/C++, Java, Perl, PHP, Pascal HTML, XML, XSLT etc. Syntax definitions are inheritable (C->C++, C# or XML->HTML, XSLT) and embeddable (JavaScript, PHP and CSS in HTML). To facilitate the source code editing HippoEDIT provides more than 160 integrated commands with customizable keyboard shortcuts, code auto-completion using syntax dictionary and statistical information, real-time code hints with best guesses from editor and sophisticated code templates engine with big set of built-in tags. Source code outlining, current scope and change lines indication, mismatching brace highlighting, indent guides etc. greatly help in code analysis and navigation. Clipboard ring, full support of text and files drag & drop, transparent usage of different clipboard formats to paste syntax-highlighted code into other applications, or paste highlighted code as HTML back into editor smoothly integrates HippoEDIT in your work environment. Other features include powerful search and replace, support of different text encodings, WYSIWYG printing and previewing, syntax specific code formatting rules, and more.

HippoEDIT ist ein Text Editor für Programmierer, Admins und Power-User (Deutsch)

HippoEDIT ist ein mächtiger, dennoch schneller und einfach zu bedienender Text-Editor für Microsoft Windows TM,
gemacht für Power-User, Administratoren und Programmierer aber auch interessant für jeden Benutzer und für jede
Art von Textbearbeitung. HippoEDIT hat eine moderne Oberfläche, welche auch durch Skins angepasst werden kann.
Besonders nützlich sind die Möglichkeit mehrere Dokumente zur gleichen Zeit zu editieren (Tabs), eingebetteter
Web- und Hilfebrowser, Datei- und Projektexplorer, die Einbindung von externen Tools, und weitere tolle Möglichkeiten.
Bei der Entwicklung wurde auf eine optimale Unterstützung des Anwenders Wert gelegt, so ist HippoEDIT sowohl
für Anfänger als auch für Fortgeschrittene geeignet. Seine Oberfläche ist vielfältig anpassbar und stellt sich
auf die gerade verwendete Programmiersprache ein. Der Editor bringt Syntax-Highlighting für C/C++, Java, Perl,
PHP, Pascal, HTML, XML, XSLT und weitere mit, diese sind einstellbar und eigene lassen sich einfach selbst erstellen.
Die Definitionen der Sprach-Syntax sind vererbbar (C->C++, C# oder XML->HTML, XSLT) und einbindbar (JavaScript, PHP
und CSS in HTML). Um die Arbeit beim schreiben von Text und Quellcode zu erleichtern, hält HippoEDIT u.a. mehr als 160
integrierte Kommandos mit einstellbaren Tastaturkürzel, Code Auto-Vervollständigung aus Keyword-Listen sowie aus
dem bereits getippten Text, Syntaxhilfen als Tool-Tip, sowie eine ausgefeilte Templates-Engine mit einer großer
Auswahl an flexiblen Platzhalter bereit. Weiterhin sind Code-Folding, Marker zur Anzeige der aktuellen und der
modifizierten Zeile, Klammeranzeige, Anzeige der Einrück-Tiefen und noch viel mehr Hilfen die Ihre Produktivität
steigern werden enthalten. Weiterhin sind Funktionen vorhanden welche den Code analisieren und z.B. die einzelnen
Module im Code in einer Übersicht zum schnellen Navigieren anzeigen. Für Viele interessant sind auch das Vorhalten
mehrere Zwischenablage-Einträge, volle Unterstützung von Datei- sowie Text Drag-&-Drop, Unterstützung verschiedener
Zwischenablage-Formate für Im- und Export von Text oder Quellcode z.B. als formatiertes RTF oder HTML. Nicht zu
vergessen die umfangreiche Suchen-und-Ersetzen Funktion auch über mehrere Dateien hinweg, verschiedene Encodings,
WYSIWYG Druck-Funktion mit Vorschau, Syntax spezifische Formatierungs- Regeln, und und und...
Hinweis: das Programm sowie die Hilfe sind nur auf Englisch verfügbar. Dies stellt aber normalerweise kein
unüberwindbares Problem dar. Eine deutschsprachige Unterstützung steht jederzeit im HippoEDIT Forum bereit.

Ich benutze HippoEDIT als IDE für VBS VBScript scripts editor.

LaunchBar Commander / Never Show Tray Icon / run&close

« Last post by AbteriX on October 19, 2009, 07:57 AM »

Hard to search for this so i just ask:

1.)
On "Docking Bar > Miscellaneous" i need an option like " [ ] Never Show Tray Icon"

I just want to start LBC, start an tool, and close the bar which should exit LBC completely and not minimize to tray "only".
That would help too, being working on other pc with Thump-Drive, run LBC, and don't forget it is still running while going home.

2.)
I could even use an feature like run-and-close: start an tool while trigger key (Ctrl ?) is pressed and exit LBC at once.

313

LaunchBar Commander / Re: Export LaunchBar_Cmmander mcf file to text or xml

« Last post by AbteriX on October 19, 2009, 07:41 AM »

I could need this too, since LBC didn't insert relative paths (..\Tools\Tool\Tool.exe) on d&d as f.ex. PStart does.

+1


Maybe an option could be implemented like "[ ] dropping insert relative path"

Sorry, now i have an another question, if you have still fun to improve eStopWatch:
I don't know if this is possible/easy to implement,
but now i miss an /GetFocus parameter to give eStopWatch always (and every sec again) the focus to catch the F9 stop-press.

Right now, if the other app is fully loaded, this app get the focus and i have to click on eStopWatch first, no matter if i have set the onTop option.

thanks for sharing.
For my use i have a few question.

Will there be an option to
- store the config files in the same folder as the exe?
- start the exe  and let it start counting immediately too? To use in batch to start it with an another app and count the start time)
