Strange.. try killing all other processes and see if you can find if one bad actor might be responsible for this.

Try this new version:


You'll still notice a little delay after the first item is launched, but after that they should all load right away.  That first delay is just an attempt to give a browser time to start from cold if not already running; if this isn't done then you can get multiple instances of the browser starting up unaware of each other.

ah well then it is farr, and i can fix it!

In fact, now that you mention it i think i remember why i put it in place -- to handle cases where the app, the browser in this case, has to be launched from a cold start, before you want to start feeding it multiple launches.

But let me see if i can't quickly handle that better.

That's a good question -- i think it's probably Chrome itself that's to blame for this -- that is, if you make a batch file 10 entries for to open chrome and open each url, the result will be the same.

I don't know if there's a better way to tell chrome (or another browsers) to open up a list of urls using a 3rd party tool.  The only way to do it MIGHT be by using a chrome-specific addon for this -- which i'll bet you can find if you look around.

Let me know if you can find a 3rd party tool that can open up multiple tabs in a browser quickly.

The define alias is in the Core_Aliases\Core-Linguistics.alias if you want to see what it looks like to learn how to make a similar one:

Screenshot - 12_25_2013 , 8_08_46 PM.png

Note: It may not make a difference these days, but internet urls should probably use $$u1 instead of $$1, since $$u1 will fix up any spaces and quotes, etc.

Note 2: If you want to make an alias to do what you want and share it with others, check out some of the alias zip files that others have shared on the forum, like one of my favorite ones, for tracking packages: https://www.donation...ex.php?topic=11333.0  -- doing so will let you create some icons as well, to make it more enjoyable for people to use the alias.

Just as an example, there's a built in alias in FARR called "define", which basically defines a number of web searches for a word you type.

Type "define urgent" and you'll see this:

Now if you hit Enter it will open the FIRST result -- or you can trigger the individual results you want.

Or -- and this is what you asked for - you can hit Ctrl+Alt+Enter to open ALL results at once (which in your browser should open each in it's own tab).

You could do this very easily using Find and Run Robot.  Once you created an "alias" to do this, you could share it with others easily as well.

Living Room / Ghacks.net website asking for donations
« Last post by mouser on December 24, 2013, 09:51 AM »
Ghacks.net is one of those independent websites that covers the free software scene, and has frequently featured DonationCoder applications and events.  It's one of our favorite websites.

Martin Brinkman, who runs ghacks, posted today that he is asking users who like the site to make a donation of any amount, which will entitle you to some special benefits on the site.

"What can be achieved however is to reduce the dependency on advertisement and search engine traffic. My hope is that it is possible to reduce it to a point where I do not have to worry about that at all anymore. Even if all traffic from search engines would die, I'd still be able to maintain this site and keep on doing what I'm doing."

We know how hard it is to raise funds from donations, so let's do our part to support ghacks and small independent sites like his -- go donate now!

Have you tried deleting or (better) expunging the file F:\Scripts\headphones.bat, and recreating it afresh, and then seeing if the error repeats?

that is a good idea.  :up:

I may have messed with the autohide in my form resizing behavior.
Can you go and UNCHECK the option to autosize form even when docked (see general options tab); see if that helps.

If that doesn't help, can you try to describe the problem in a little more detail?

in the final minute the sound alert for the Zeno continues to go off, even though I've set it not to go off after 60 sec

can you be more specific and elaborate what happens?

Remember that if you intend to use PBOL just for giving you Zeno alerts, you can keep it minimized in the tray at all times, no need to have it docked or visible.

The only thing to remember is that when you enable this feature, its always going to fade out all alerts.

I was thinking it might be nice to add a feature that would let you set some events whose alerts should NOT be automatically faded out.  If you enable the automatic fading you could miss an important event if you are away from the pc.
