It has been 3 days since Contro's last post, so I am starting to worry: Has there been an accident.. No, I don't believe that, there are so many questions to ask...

Are you using portable farr or the installer version? Do you customize your ConfigDir.ini file?
It sounds like maybe it's trying to save settings someplace it doesn't have permission.. If you change other options are they saved on a program exit and restart?

I still have the issue where aliases that run things with parameters doesn't work in Win8.1

is it all apps or just web browser apps?

New official release:

Version 2.223.01 - Apr 28, 2015
  • [Feature] A new "Quick Search Words" tab in options allows you to specify quick search word replacements; here you can quickly specify words that have alternate meanings when typed into the search box.  Start each line with a search word, followed by = and then the replacement text.  For example, if you would like to be able to type "ff" to search for "firefox" you can specify that here as "ff = firefox".  This just makes it much easier to do certain simple things without using aliases.  Note that replacements will only be made on word boundaries ("ff" will not match "eff").
  • [Feature] On History Options you can now choose to have FARR automatically add all applications that you launch outside of FARR (that have foreground windows), automatically added to FARR launch history; this makes them visible in main window on display, and makes them faster to find.
  • [Feature] New option to require search words to match on left hand boundaries of words (whether contiguous enabled or not) -- can be useful in reducing spurious matches.
  • [Feature] Added field where you can test how FARR will resolve a path with environment or other special % replacements, on Tweaks and Debugging tab.
  • [Change] If only one result is being shown in directory browsing mode, FARR won't autoswitch into small report display mode; this is nicer to look at when using an absolute path to a file and makes clearer when there is a unique result in directory browsing mode, and makes it more convenient to use the Quick Search Words to specify an explicit file path.
  • [Bugfix] Non-contiguous scoring had a bug which might allow some results to list which should not (though it would give them a very low score).
  • [Bugfix] Using spacebar to toggle checkboxes in the hotkey, searchfolder, pattern lists was not saving changes.
  • [Bugfix] Launched *folders* were no longer opening on Windows XP.
  • [Bugfix] Using Ctrl+# or Ctrl+Enter to launch apps should keep FARR window open AND focused, regardless of FARR window behavior configured on Window options tab.
  • [Bugfix] Some users on Windows 8 were not seeing large icons in results.

I have two comments after reading your postpartum writeup:

1. It's great fun to read these things and to experience the process vicariously.
2. Writing such things is such a good habit to get into for those serious about becoming good coders.
3. Participating in these kinds of projects that force you to conceive and then complete something "finished" with a real deadline is again such a great skill to get into the habit of.

In summary: great work, keep it up.

Clipboard Help+Spell / Re: Quick paste popup menu: minimize content
« Last post by mouser on April 28, 2015, 01:57 PM »
Can you be a little more specific about what you would like to hide, im happy to entertain adding more options to add things.
You can customize what CLIPS show in the quick paste menu by editing the "Quick Paste" group in the main group tree, but that won't hide other special items, and it sounds like you already found how to hide most of those in the "Quick Paste Menu 2" tab.
I've probably added new things to the quick paste that aren't listed in the Quick Paste 2 tab, so if you can remind me which items you'd like hidden, i should be able to add the option to do that on that tab.

Thanks Iain.

I've re-uploaded a new version, which should show as version 2.222.03 -- i'll make sure to update the version #s from now on so we can be sure we are talking about the same version.

I'm interested in two things: First, whether the large icons show in this version on Windows 8, and second, how it looks on high DPI setting where options panel is normally too small in prior versions.

Screenshot Captor / Re: LATEST VERSION INFO THREAD - ScreenshotCaptor - v4.10.0 - Apr 28, 2015
« Last post by mouser on April 28, 2015, 11:23 AM »
v4.10.0 - April 28, 2015
  • [Improvement] Selecting multiple files with Ctrl+Click from thumbnail panel and dropping on current image now works better because it will ignore the case where the current image is selected.
  • [Improvement] Selecting multiple images with Ctrl or Shift no longer triggers loading of selected images.
  • [BugFix] No longer will query pale moon browser for current url even if option enabled in capture tab, since the browser does not respond with info.

Note: I am not pushing this to the update checker yet, since I pushed out another update so recently and the changes are not that important, but i just realized i haven't been updating the middle version# field that i normally do (4.x.0) and instead have been updating the build # (4.9.x), so thought i should correct that.

I'm guessing that it's palemoon's doing -- for some reason opening that page when a request is made to get the current url of the browser.

What used to be a very useful function, getting the current url of browser, has lately become one of the many victims of the (often justified) desire by browser makers to be paranoid about security.. So because of a concern that letting a 3rd party get the current url could be a security risk, it's becoming hard to get the current url of browser by a 3rd party tool.  It's a reason that if you are primarily concerned with grabbing web page screenshots and need the urls for them included as meta info, you may need to use a browser addon.

However, i will certainly put palemoon on an exclusion list so that SC does not even attempt to get the browser url any longer.

i wonder if same thing happens with recent firefox screenshots..

« Last post by mouser on April 28, 2015, 03:00 AM »
2.38.01 - Apr 28, 2015
  • [Feature] New option to start sniffing immediately when program is started, even in advanced mode.
  • [BugFix/Feature] New option to better handle the "Also Find" text.  In previous versions a url would be excluded if it did not match url filter type (multimedia vs all), even if it contained an Also Find keyword.  You now have an option (enabled by default) to always include results that match the Also Find keyword, even if it does not match the url filter type.  This is most useful when restricting search for multimedia urls but also anything containing the keyword.  Tip: Use ; character to separate multiple keywords.

  • [Feature] Added option (tweaks tab) to not obey programs (like password utilities) that put stuff on the clipboard and mark it as to-be-ignored by clipboard tools.
  • [Feature] Added option (tweaks tab) to go to TOP of grid list when selecting new group; improvement to keeping selected row visible and focused when adding new clips.
  • [Feature] Added option to control frequency of automatic clipboard re-establishment.
  • [Feature] Added hotkeys to print the last clip, and to re-establish clipboard chain.
  • [Feature] Added new sorting/ordering option to the text modification/transformation dialog to reverse the order of lines.
  • [Feature] Added new sorting/ordering option to the text modification/transformation dialog to randomize the order of lines.
  • [Documentation] Added better help to clipboard re-establishment options.
  • [Documentation] Added better help for those who encounter Database Error 11013.

FlipSuite and Flipbook Printer / Re: 12-up?
« Last post by mouser on April 28, 2015, 12:31 AM »
Hi Jason,

First suggestion, play with FlipSuite as it has some more recent options for laying out cards.
You should be able to fairly easily create a 12-up layout.. Now as for rotating the video.. that may be more problematic -- i honestly don't remember the issue coming up before.. It might be as simple as defining the page layout as landscape (ie changing the page dimensions).

Living Room / Re: 10th Anniversary - long time member check-in thread
« Last post by mouser on April 27, 2015, 11:51 PM »
A long time ago (6+ years I think), I stumbled upon DC while searching the internet for free software. I was never a very active poster but there was a point in time that I read every thread voraciously. It was soon after that Mouser made the programming school and I was hooked into doing the C++ exercises and getting a very cool first exposure to programming with some encouraging pushes from Mouser and other DC'ers. Because of the programming school I majored in CS in College am now am a full time developer in downtown Chicago. I also grew up, got married, had a kid with a second on the way..

What a wonderful and amazing update to read.  Huge smile here.  :)
I remember your programming assignments quite well -- you were one of the few people to complete an entire stage of 10 assignments.
There's just nothing more to say but how happy I am to read this and hear from you  :up:

Can I get you guys to try the latest beta and let me know how it looks now.

regarding:
in large icon mode, no icons whatsoever are shown in the result list. In small icon mode icons are shown correctly.

can i ask you guys to try a couple of things:
first, turn OFF any custom visual font/size stuff height stuff on the Font Overides tab -- it may be that it's cutting it too short to show the icons because of the height?
and second, if that still has no effect, can you try messing with icon size at the top of the Tweaks and Deugging page, making sure to completely exit and restart farr after you change that value.

let me know if the latest version looks any different.

WordPress just released a critical security update that fixes the 0day vulnerability described below.

The WordPress content management system used by millions of websites is vulnerable to two newly discovered threats that allow attackers to take full control of the Web server. Attack code has been released that targets one of the latest versions of WordPress, making it a zero-day exploit that could touch off a series of site hijackings throughout the Internet.
