Ok, I can now confirm that propsys.dll is installed with Windows Desktop Search. So if you're running Windows XP, you need to additionally install Windows Desktop Search (current version is 4) to use the FARR Windows Search plugin.

I don't play flash games. But I'll definitely read your blog. Sounds like an interesting experiment.

Being a programmer myself, I don't have a problem with paying for software that is useful, be that with money or some other kind of "contribution". I'm sure you put a lot of effort and much of your free time into that project, so why not ask for something in return.

I wish you good luck with it anyway! :Thmbsup:

Thanks guys! Kind of strange to hear this from people I 'know' only from their nick names ;). Nevertheless, it kind of feels good :)

Find And Run Robot / Just uninstalled FARR!
« Last post by phitsc on May 27, 2010, 05:31 AM »
yep, you read that right. It's gone. Wiped it off of my HD. All my plugins too! No more Win+Alt+Space (yes, that's what I had assigned it to). I actually went as far as 'secure deleting' the donationcoder directory!


But don't worry, I'll install it again when I start working on my new job next week ;)

Is there a way to set the due date at the same time as creating the task? Or must you create the task and then find the task to set up the due date?

I know how to set up the tag at the same time as setting up the task... for example:
rtm add task do something /tag:whatever

Ideas?
Hi Saturday24

Welcome to the donationcoder.com forums!

You can indeed set a task's due date at the same time as you create the task. This works just the same way as you did with the tag, i.e.

rtm add task some description /due:"21. May 2010"

note the " " because of the spaces.

The following is also possible:

rtm add task some description /due:tomorrow

Additionally, Farr RTM also supports RTM Smart Add (needs to be enabled in the options). With Smart Add enabled, you could do something like this:

rtm add task some description next monday

to set the task's due date to next Monday

You can find more about creating tasks in the help file. Select 'Commands' in the Menu on the left, then the 'Adding a task' link.

Hope this helps. Any more questions, feel free to ask :)

 :( Turns out I actually do link propsys.lib :( so I can use the PSFormatForDisplay function. Although the API help states Windows Vista to be the minimum supported OS I am actually very positive that the plugin runs just fine on my Windows XP machine :) Maybe because I installed WDS 3.0 separately. Or maybe because I have Visual Studio and Platform SDK installed.

Sorry to anyone who tried to find a solution to this problem :-[. And thanks to ecaradec for the hint  :Thmbsup:.

So I guess my current solution is to make Windows Vista the minimum supported OS for this plugin.

(I think I have never used so many smilies in one post)

@phitsc If this is a visual studio project : Sometimes includes can add libraries. You may try to add propsys.lib to "ignore default libraries" in project properties under configuration properties/linker/input/ignore specific library to force visual to not include it. If it can't link you'll know the name of the function and probably why it is included...
Ok, thanks for the hint ecaradec. I'll check that.

I tried to reproduce it but got the propsys.dll error on Windows XP Pro SP3. The dependency come from FARRWindowsSearch. I tried to add the propsys.dll into the plugin folder but it crash. It isn't very surprising since it is a vista dll. Did you link to propsys ? Or compile for vista which may have add dependencies to vista dll ?
I did neither. The plugin is running fine here on my Windows XP machine. I'm afraid I still have no idea where this propsys problem on some PCs is coming from.

Reasoning:
While FARRWebMetaSearch is a great idea, the purpose of this plugin is to use an offline version to eliminate the requirement of internet access.
Hmm...

phitsc?
It's not forgotten. Actually, Perry and me (well, mostly Perry :-[) have been working on a specification for a much improved version of FARR WMS. Unfortunately, when Perry went on his Lenten Journey (note: when, not because) my motivation to work on the project has gone down considerably (for various reasons. well, if you want to know ;), the two main ones probably being that I'll be working for a different company soon (which gives much to be finished in the old one), and that apart from Perry, no one seemed to be particularly interest in the plugin. A third one just comes to mind: the new specification makes this plugin not only much more powerful, but also quite a bit more complex.). I'm sure I'm going to pick it up again though, if only for all the work Perry and I (well, mostly Perry) have put into it already.

To get back on topic: yes, I think FARR WMS with a local file in an appropriate format could well be up to the task intended by the original poster.

phitsc, mouser recently brought up the idea of a general-purpose chm search tool, and we came across:

http://www.citeknet....abid/64/Default.aspx

Do you think that this IFilter (or something similar) combined with your Windows Search plugin might result in anything interesting?
I've installed this and let Windows Search index a directory with a chm file. It doesn't seem to work, not even using the Windows Search Deskbar.

This plugin would be EXTREMELY popular in my honest opinion. It will add alot more functionality to FARR (as if FARR doesn't already have enough functionality - thanks mouser :))
Exactly what I thought about my own plugins :D

Looks useful. Did one of you guys check if it already works with FARR WS? I didn't know about IFilters, so thanks for the hint :)

hi phitsc,

I know this isn't a precise indication, but farr seems to track the problem to fscript.dll (in the \FSubScript folder). That's what a dialog says when farr is restarted.

I already updated the fscript.dll (all of them, in all plugins folders) to version 1.9.0.0 (the last one, it seems). Maybe should I downgrade to a previous version.

What version do you use?

Thanks!
FarrWindowsSearch does not use the fscript.dll

Maybe a conflict with another plugin using fscript.dll

That sounds more likely. You mentioned two different exceptions though. So the other one could still be a FarrWindowsSearch problem.

hello, is it possible to also display results from network folders? i do have all my network drives indexed in the windows search and they display like a charm, however when i use the plugin in farr, i do get only local results.
I'll check.

... I needed Google search (strange that nobody has asked for that yet?), especially with calculator and converter support - that is, I wanted to be able to input "50 eur in usd" and get the answer from Google. "50 km in miles" works too. ...
The reason for this is that there's s.newave's GooglePlus plugin that covers google search (and in a very sophisticated way). Not sure if it can do conversions and stuff though.

Anyway, I'll gladly include your google search in the next Farr WMS release.

It is perhaps beyond my current AHK capabilities to quickly implement your suggestions -- however, I now have more motivation to learn about how these things might be done :)
I wasn't suggesting that my suggestion could be implemented quickly ;)

FARR Plugins and Aliases / Re: CHM2Alias
« Last post by phitsc on March 02, 2010, 05:56 AM »
It does indeed!

Concerning ideas of making it simpler to use. I'm dreaming something up:
- "Start" CHM2Alias
- It presents me a list of all .chm files in "Program Files"
- The ones which I have already "created/installed" are marked somehow
- I can select a few of them and press the 'Create / Update' button
- Each one also lists the group alias name which I can change right there

So when I install a new application or update one I'll just start CHM2Alias again and select the new app / the app I updated and press the 'Create / Update' button again.

As a quick improvement I would suggest to name the group alias name without the 'chm' at the end ;)

Still get the same error when the CHM2Alias.exe is in a path with spaces. Without spaces it works perfectly.

And it is very cool! :Thmbsup:

A more automatic way of creating, installing, configuring and especially updating such an alias file would obviously be desirable ;).

Alias file creation worked fine now on my home PC with Windows 7 (with your updated version).

It's not in the combo box though once I copied it into 'C:\Program Files\FindAndRunRobot\AliasGroups\MyCustom' and I can't find where the myaliases.alias file is either (to copy the file there). Maybe a Windows 7 issue. I'm too tired to look for the problem now. I'll check it out tomorrow on my Windows XP PC (in the office) and I'm sure I'll find out where to place it on Windows 7 later.

Have hh.exe in my c:\windows directory. Dropping FindAndRunRobot.chm onto CHM2Alias.exe gave me the following error:

[CHM2Alias.exe]
JavaScript main() returned: Execution of main failed: undefined.

I now have an empty directory called 'radA6319.tmp' in the CHM2Alias folder as well as a debuglog.txt file containing the following:

Mon Mar 1 13:08:17 UTC+0100 2010: e.message: undefined

I also tried Notepad++'s .chm file. Same result.

by the way: any reason to order any of these books on 'The Pragmatic Bookshelf' instead of Amazon? they all seem to be cheaper on Amazon (sometimes as much as 30% or more). Well, unless you have a 40% coupon. Or you want the paper book/ebook bundle.
