FARR Plugins and Aliases / Farr Alias: Ixquick & Startpage Search

« Last post by lanux128 on March 12, 2012, 11:57 PM »

This is an alias to search using Ixquick and Startpage. They pride on being the most private search engines at the moment. To know more about their services, this post by Edvard may be helpful.

install info
download the zipped file and extract the contents into Farr's sub-folder '\AliasGroups\Installed' or into '\AliasGroups\MyCustom'. Windows 7 users might need to check in the "My Documents" folder instead of the app folder.

if Farr is running in the background, you may need to open the Options dialog once for Farr to activate the alias.




usage info
to use the alias, simply type sp, ix or ixquick followed by your query.

tip: use Ctrl+Alt+ Enter to open both websites at the same time.

credits
thanks to [user]Edvard[/user] for the high-res icons.

General Software Discussion / Re: big preview icons of pdf files in the "open"/"save as" winxp dialog box

« Last post by lanux128 on March 10, 2012, 03:56 AM »

i'm not sure how to activate it since i use the portable version. but here is an excerpt from their webpage, which might explain things..

The download file contains two installation files – one for the viewer itself and one for the Shell Extension for viewing thumbnails in Windows Explorer. Installation of this extension is optional, but you might miss if you don’t know it is there.

Screenshot Captor / Re: "Auto Copy Selected Area?"

« Last post by lanux128 on March 07, 2012, 10:25 PM »

this is one way of doing what you wanted..

1. Go to 'Preferences' > 'Post-Capture Options' and check 'Copy Image to Clipboard'.
2. Right-click on the tray menu and choose 'Grab selected Region'.
3. Now you can draw as you did in Snippy and once you let go, the image will be saved in clipboard.

DC Gamer Club / Microsoft Flight Simulator - Free!

« Last post by lanux128 on March 04, 2012, 01:42 AM »

found it via Gizmo's, this is a great piece of news for flight sim fans!

... It has a new name (just Microsoft Flight), and it's free. In its new incarnation, you play it as an online game, and the adventure takes place in and around Hawaii.  Other planes and environments are, or will be, available but these will be optional paid-for extras.

Before you can play, you'll need to download the Windows client for Microsoft Flight.  From my testing, this seems to work best from Internet Explorer.  Also, note that you'll need a decent games-spec graphics card in your PC, so check the requirements on the web site carefully.  It also requires Windows 7.
