Find And Run Robot / Re: Add alias to the context menu

« Last post by ertwro on August 24, 2023, 11:54 PM »

Dear @Nod5,

Thank you for sharing your script. Your kindness is greatly appreciated. I had previously created something similar, but was hesitant to add more scripts to my Windows startup folder or, even worse, to start and close them manually. I noticed that FARR has a scripts folder and was wondering if it could be used to automatically launch a script when FARR starts and close it when FARR is closed. For now, the closest solution to what I am looking for is adding QuickLook to the toolbar, which I dislike because it requires the use of a mouse. However, at least I do not have to manually close, autostart or launch anything.

Best regards,

Find And Run Robot / Add alias to the context menu

« Last post by ertwro on August 13, 2023, 01:12 AM »

Hi, Mouser. I enjoy greatly your software after all these years. Recently I've started using QuickLook, app in windows that allows me to see a preview of a file by just pressing <Space> in my keyboard. While I would love to add a hotkey like {Ctrl + [0-9]} or space, I've added the following alias to farr to use it in the search list but I do wonder if there's a way to integrate it in the context menu?
Regex: ^(.*)\sql$
Results: C:\Users\ertwr\AppData\Local\Programs\QuickLook\QuickLook.exe "$$1"

Thanks in advance

Find And Run Robot / Re: #filecontents FILEPATH -- how does it work?

I've not had the opportunity of testing it fully but so far is working super well with batch, vbs and even my bash scripts . I can't wait to try so many things!

Yeah, I've been reading and trying some stuff but as you told me there's no easy way to do what I want just with #filecontents and launch string/commands. Tried to circumvent this by using pipes but found out that Windows doesn't use fifo files per se and uses sockets in the form of \\.pipe\whatever.

Hi, I'm the person who asked about this feature in the #donationcoder chat.
I just looked for software similar to dmenu or rofi from Linux but on Windows and out of all the alternative FARR is by far the best. The main thing I was missing was dmenu's greatest strength: receiving stdin from a script and displaying the output as a list in the FARR window and if possible using that to run scripts (stdout). Something like the following gif:

    When I found the Special/Virtual launch strings/commands and #filecontents offered this capability I got super excited, but when I heard it was gonna get implemented as a new function I threw my hands up and screamed "yes!". I'll stay super tuned.
