Mouser, thanks for the update.  I use the portable version. The link in the first post is for the installer.  I hacked the name and the portable version seem to be there.  Downloaded and it is the right one.  I'm assuming you build both but don't have the portable link in the post for some reason?  Am I right?  Can you make the portable version "official" in the first post?

Thanks again.

Version 2.107.02 - Sep 21, 2012 - Beta

* [Feature] Built in replacement vars (e.g. %WINDIR%) now accept lowercase version as well (%windir%)
* [Feature] Environmental replacement now performed in search box text.
* [Feature] New option to use generic icons for folders when directory browsing -- speeds up win8 browsing and in cases where custom dynamic folder icons are used.
* [Feature] Added auto-completing environmental variable listing feature/alias; type % to see list of all environmental variables.
* [BugFix] Last selected alias file was not always remembered between runs.
* [MinorChange] Right-clicking on a result to bring up context menu now stops any running search.
* [Improvement] Small improvement in caching item icons for faster display of updating search results.
* [BugFix] Fixed crash when displaying dates on files whose file timestamp is after year 9999.
* [Feature] You can now tell FARR what to do when you hit enter and there are no results showing, by setting the new option on the Launching Files tab (this used to require creating a special noresults alias); FARR will remind you of this the first time you hit enter when there are no results.
* [Feature] Added shellexec special virtual launch string command that simulates typing a line into a dos command console (e.g. supports arguments and will launch executables on the system path); changed default run alias to use.
* [Feature] First experimental attempt to have CapsLock trigger for FARR preserve caps lock state.
* [Feature] New experimental tweak option on Display Options tab, labeled "Speed up display by avoiding lookup of some icons"; disabled by default.  Enabled if some search results cause a pause in your FARR when displaying them.
* [Change] Removed Ctrl+Alt+O shortcut, as it could conflict with some diacriticals.
* [Improvement] Improved speed of large directory listings.
* [Change] Default options are now to show 100 (previously was 30) entries in directory browsing mode; and not show more by default (previous was to do +sall) on directory browsing.
* [Improvement] Huge speedup in displaying results in some cases.
* [Feature] New alias options to show certain aliases only on certain versions of windows (used in control panel alias).
* [Feature] Brand new Windows-8 updated control panel alias (cpanel), created by DC member Josh.

mouser:
Huge thanks to Josh for creating a totally new replacement control panel alias (cpanel) from what FARR used to have.  This one includes a big update for Windows Vista/7/8.

Type: cpanel to see the control panel list, then filter away.

It's brand new so their are likely to be a couple of issues with an occasional control panel items, so report any issues.

Huge thanks to Josh! 

Josh:
My pleasure! I am happy to help. This is a tool that, with these updates, has become indispensable to me.

A note on the control panel list. It is hard coded to the control.exe procedural calls. With Vista, .cpl files slowly went away and were replaced with namespaces. Right now, I am focused solely on adding the core control panel applets found in XP, Vista, 7 and 8. Applets like NVidia control panel, AMD Control Panel, SiSoftware Sandra or Everest, etc. will not be added as not everyone has them and I have no way to detect their presence in FARR.

Another note, the icons are NOT EXACT MATCHES to the icons in the classic control panels. If someone has an icon of decent resolution (32x32), please send me a pm with a link to it and what applet it replaces and I will update the alias for mouser. Additionally, if some are found to be missing or not working, post to a thread in the FARR forum and I will look into it. Be sure to let me know the control panel applet name so I can l look it up.

Please pass any feedback so we can continue to improve this tool and capability. I will be adding admin tools (msc file) and a separate alias file for active directory management (ADUC, Sites and Services, Federated services, DNS, DHCP, etc). So look for that in the next beta release.

Bring on the feedback!

Josh:
Also, a thank you to mouser for putting up with my constant nagging to get him to add some of these features :)
