I think it's great that you plan on actually doing this, I've wished for this forever.  

Those using FARR primarily as an application launcher are well served by this, but there are times when people would like to have the option of using an index for super fast search of complete hard drive contents

This seems to me an odd thing to say, although I must be in the minority. I think it is the other way around. If I am searching for files (for which I currently use Locate32), I will tolerate some lag in search results, but when I am launching applications, I don't want to wait for several seconds before I can press Enter as I currently have to do in FARR.* That's the great thing about Launchy, the instant I press a letter, I get the match instantly so I can go ahead and press Enter as soon as I hit the letter if it is the right app. Launchy of course is not as powerful as FARR, but I try to run both and it is hard to get in the right groove with FARR because of this, and wondered if I can set up a somewhat Launchy-like configuration for FARR.


*This is fact is one source of irritation I have with the Windows 7 start menu, compared to using FARR and especially Launchy, is that I have to wait several seconds to make sure I am launching the desired application and not an unwanted Windows file search. FARR's delay isn't as much as the Windows 7 start menu's, though.

I can't even transfer folders with large camera files across my home network because the destination computer will go into sleep and then the transfer times out. And I don't want to have to turn off power save mode or run mouse wiggle programs!

Try TeraCopy for transferring files across your home network. One of the features I really like about it is that it can do a checksum hash comparison to verify that files copied accurately.

In your situation, if the transfer fails partway through, just start it over again, and when/if it asks you if you want to overwrite existing files, select the "Older Only" option. Any files that were successfully transferred the first time will not be transferred again. And any files that broke partway through will fail the checksum validation and you can then "Clean Up" the list (remove all successful transfers from the list) and tell it to copy over the files that failed checksum validation, this time telling it to overwrite all of them.

I can try it, but do you think Teracopy will be able to resume partial file transfers? Since these are LARGE files, if all it does is start a file copy  that failed from the beginning of the file, I think it would just time out again.

FWIW, I tried adding the line using Sigil, but the displayed results looked no different in Lucifox as well as in EPUBReader.

Sigil seemed to do the wrapping with or without the CSS line.

-ewemoa (June 18, 2011, 09:28 PM)

I didn't check to see what the wrapping looked like in Sigil, because it was irrelevant for me. I only wanted it to wrap in Stanza. So I resaved it as a different filename (should have saved it as a different title too to make it easier to find) and transferred to the device via iTunes.

Fortunately for me, the one edit I needed to make I was able to find with Google. This would be rather annoying for multiple edits.

If I want to watch these screencasts (and the ScreenshotCaptor and the FARR ones) in bunches, what would you suggest? Will you consider putting these on Youtube, that would be one way to allow it. Maybe I can watch these on (now-outlawed) Youtube channel on Roku (I have hope there will be an official one soon).

I may try some of the ones I hadn't heard of.
My favorite PDF Creator feature is that you can pause the print monitor and then combine outputs into a single PDF.



I guess that's what Priit means by print aggregations.

PDFCreator's command line options could also come in handy for someone.

(I either need to train myself not to use Quick Reply, or image attachment needs to be added to that feature. I'm sure it's the former.)

EDIT: Sorry the above link was a bit off topic. You didn't really ask for other batch file resources, did you? I will check out the link you gave. It's very handy to be able to use functions in batch files.

One big advantage of batch files is you don't have to install anything, so you can use them in restricted environments (i.e., work).

The creators of ePub explain it all.

Mobile interface is not hard if there is mod available for SMF that redirects opera mini or mobile browser users to that interface. Such mod doesn't affect PC experience.

I kind of thought that too, I am wondering if there is something like TouchBB except the problem with that product is that is is tied to phpBB2, phpBB3 or vBulletin, and deal killer, it currently only works on iPhone/iPod Touch (it does require its own app on the device). So it will be interesting to see if it evolves further to work on more devices and forum platforms, to be more generally useful . But the point is, it is apparently pretty easy to install on the server, maybe there is other stuff out there like that. Or instead go with a style sheet that targets mobile devices, although maybe that's harder than it looks.

Stanza
iBooks

The ebook is Modern Perl, which is provided by the author in epub format as well as PDF. Notice how Stanza cuts off the long lines, which is a known issue with Stanza. However iBooks is painfully slow on my iPod Touch and is generally considered inferior for good reason. Yet it wraps the whole line and displays it.

I am also giving Calibre, an ebook manager, another shot lately. When I attempted to use it before, getting ebooks from my computer to Stanza was painfully unreliable*; now there are two new options for iOS sync including sending ebooks them via iTunes and that is actually 100 times less painful and actually works. If you do it that way, however, iBooks sees the epubs and Stanza doesn't (on iOS, the app kind of owns the documents it opens, kind of like Palm OS 5 which I thought we were evolving away from.) iBooks is painfully slow, but at least it is not cutting off lines like the ones shown above.

* With the caveat that I was a little slow to figure out I needed to reserve an IP address for the iPod Touch and so I may have contributed to the unreliability of the initial method.

Which oddly I can't find on the PC version of Read It Later even though they both use the same account.

For comparison, I selected the same and right clicked and added to Evernote from my PC and pulled it up on the iPod Touch.


Much more readable than Read it Later Full Web Page View on the same device (two fingered spread-to-zoom gestures notwithstanding).


And of course RIL doesn't let you select the actual area you want clipped, which is seemingly related to its pickiness about articleness.

LOL, I was going to say I have seen bogus recommendations from Newegg before and they I think the Newegg recommendation system is kind of random and not representing handpicked recommendations. I was going to make an edit to say that in this case, I think even a handpicked recommendation might have missed this incompatibility. I am very glad no restocking fee was charged to you.

Evernote using the Firefox add-on. I used to use Read it Later until I got annoyed with it crying about a page not being an article. I am trying to remember to tag Evernote clips as "unread" when I am using for the same purpose as Read it Later. You might want to look at Shareaholic too, which can clip to a customizable variety of web based services.

There's a Firefox 5 in beta already? I may have to check it out, although I hate when addons are broken.
