Character Table Plug-In

[siouxdax]

I installed the Character Table plug-in into the latest version of FARR and I can't get it to work. From what understand, I'm to type "cc $ a" (minus quotes), and then be given a choice of accent marks and diacritics. No luck for me. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

Any help is much appreciated.

hi siouxdax
here, I just type "cc"
and straight away the characters show ...

[siouxdax]

When I type "cc" I get "accessory wizard", "accesibility", etc. No accents or diacritics.

I'm not the expert here but when you say install -
is the plugin in the FARR plugin folder?
.....\FindAndRunRobot\Plugins\Character_Table\ ... 

Did you restart FARR - there's other ways to reload plugins in options - but restart is the easiest to explain!

[herojoker]

Go to Options > Plugins, Updates, Fonts > Click to Examine and Configure Plugins...
Is the checkbox next to "Character Table" activated? If yes, click on the text and look whether there are entries in "Alias (override)" or "Regular Expression (custom override)".

[siouxdax]

Okay, "Character Table" is activated (has a check next to it), but there's nothing in the "Alias (override)" or "Regular Expression (custom override)".

Yes, it's there.

Okay, for some reason it's suddenly working! I don't know what I did, but it's smooth as silk now! Thanks you all so very much. It is much appreciated!

The reason it's suddenly working is because of what Tomos said -- you copied it in but FARR needs to be told to reload plugins or else be restarted.  When you opened up the plugin manager you caused it to reload the known plugins, which solved the problem.

Well thanks a million!

Every time i try to use this plugin i get a runtime error on FARR  "this application has requested the runtime in an unusual way..."

so click ok and get the encountered a problem and needs to close dialog box so i click for more info and i get this
AppName: findandrunrobot.exe    AppVer: 2.0.0.140    ModName: fscript.dll
ModVer: 1.0.0.7    Offset: 000187b6

As soon as i delete the character table plugin directory FARR runs again as expected.

Any ideas?  What is my computer missing?

Grorgy: try to install latest FARR version.

Check for (plugin) updates goes through the DCUpdater, which does not work for me because it won't go through proxy.pac proxies.

czechboy, I have the version which mouser put out to try and solve the office launching problems, which, by the way it seems to have done (at least for me)  , so im not sure what to try, I've deleted the plugin and reinstalled in all the different ways i can think of and while fscript.dll is present FARR wont start 

[Grorgy]

Ok I tried the clock plug in, it does the same thing so something in that fscript.dll is causing my computer havoc.

Hi,
then it might be a good question to ecaradec. Shall I write him, or will you do that?

[Grorgy]

well just to let you know, i have no idea what caused it, but for various reasons i was forced to reinstall windows and it works fine now, somewhat extreme way to fix it, its not what i'd do normally  but it was a happy coincidence
