can you explain how you are launching that command?
-mouser (May 20, 2009, 02:33 PM)

Using :

Run console command: $$1 $$2 | showmemo Output:;;; appcapappendmemo $$1 $$2

on my farr if i run that command, i can do exactly as you wanted -- hit escape to terminate it and then start my new search.

It's working on my work PC, it might didn't work for me because I haven't updated yet to the latest release at my home PC.
Speaking of which, is there way to update a portable version of FARR using DcUpdater, w/o DcUpdater installing FARR?

Is there some way to display the command-line output via showmemo without first putting any other memo text?

If I use the showmemo command without any text then FARR autohides when I run the command:

showmemo;;; appcapappendmemo ______(command line stuff)______

If I add some text to show then FARR shows that and then appends the output from the later command-line action:

showmemo some text here;;; appcapappendmemo ______(command line stuff)______

Another thing: in cases where the command-line output only contains linebreak separated file/folder paths it would be really cool if there was a version of appcapp that automatically displayed the results as a regular FARR results list ("appcapappendlist" would be a good name). Does that sound like a good command to add to FARR? It could potentially bypass the need for plugins in many cases. An alias that operates on some external tools with clever command-line arguments and other FARR commands might be enough.

yes definitely i was thinking the same thing.

question:
in the search directory entries, do you actually have them listed as "N:\"
or is it more like "N:\Program Files\" , i.e. specifies a directory which also exists on C:.

the reason i ask is that i thought i coded it so that it never reassigned just a plain drive letter.
-mouser (May 20, 2009, 09:13 PM)

I only have them listed as M:\ and N:\ - just the root directories/drive letters themselves.

mouser, what about that?

mouser · « **Reply #258 on:** May 21, 2009, 11:07 AM »

you can use updater to check for updates, and go to dcupdater options to tell it not to run the installer but just download it for you.

djbobo · « **Reply #259 on:** May 26, 2009, 03:25 AM »

mouser,
Is it possible to use keypad keys to launch only in conjunction w/ alt, ctrl and alt+ctrl?

CatamountJack · « **Reply #260 on:** May 26, 2009, 07:34 AM »

Mouser - thanks for the fix on the changing root drive letters in search folders! Much better now :-)

Yikes - another update! You've been burning the midnight oil mouser...

CleverCat · « **Reply #262 on:** May 27, 2009, 03:31 AM »

When I check for update it says I have 2.60.02 and I need to update to 2.61.01 - but I have 2.61.02 installed?

mouser · « **Reply #263 on:** May 27, 2009, 03:33 AM »

you cant possible have 2.61.02 installed.. it doesn't exist.

Hi,

Just wanted to point out my confusion about the FARR upgrades & their dates. I think it was last week that for the 1st time I downloaded & installed FARR. The "About" screen showed that to be version 2.61.02. Today I downloaded what's supposed to be the latest version, dated 5/25/09, and now the "About" screen shows it as 2.61.01. While downloading the software last week, did I accidentally step through a portal into the future and retrieved a version not yet hatched by the Mouser? If so, will I be able during my next connection to a donationcoder server to step even deeper into a future where Find-And-Run Robots will have taken over the entire global network, finding and running down the last pockets of human resistance? And which of you will then join the crusade to stop the Mouser before his creation unwittingly ushers in the Great Quaternary Cenozoic global extinction?

PS I just noticed that this version issue was pointed out before, but I'm too lazy to rewrite the above ramblings. So what's the resolution? I also noticed that on the donationcoder main page the latest versions are not correctly shown; FARR is shown as 5/19.
BTW, thanks a lot for the fine program; nice work.

mouser · « **Reply #271 on:** May 27, 2009, 01:59 PM »

i think what must have happened is i accidentally labeled 2.60.02 as 2.61.02.
so then the version after that was 2.61.01, leading to all the confusion.
ill release 2.63.01 this week and that will clear up the problem.

v2.61.01 is most recent version.

mohaqeq · « **Reply #272 on:** May 27, 2009, 02:06 PM »

Thanks. If we use DcUpdater, will it correctly identify the latest version even if mislabeled?

mouser · « **Reply #273 on:** May 27, 2009, 02:08 PM »

thats a good question -- try the updater, see what it says.
if it says you have a newer version installed, right click and say to install anyway.
if it lists your version correctly as ~~1.60.02~~ 2.60.02 then it will offer to download update and confirm my theory about the mislabeling.
