FARR plugin: FARR Most Recently Used 1.0.0

<< < (7/18) > >>

phitsc:
The idea being that they would be merged into the 'My Recent Documents' result list? Yes, that would be an idea.

right, which would also let people who always wanted their office files shown in main mru list do that, and add any such entries to the main mru list.

I was also thinking about a modifier that would list all of the configured applications mru files. I think that would serve the FARR filtering idea better.

that would also be a good idea; you can do that by deteced when user types mrua
and return a result list like
mru office | restartsearch mru +office
mru foxit pdf reader| restartsearch mru +foxit
that essentially lets you make a menu of choices for the user that farr will present

To follow up on mouser's idea. What do you guys think about the following (the aliases being examples)?

mrum - list only 'My Recent Documents' (what mru with no program modifiers does now)
mrup - list MRU items of all configured programs (what mru with all program modifers added would do now)
mrua - list everything (mrum and mrup combined)
mru - list a combination of mrum and user selected modifiers (definable in the options dialog)

mouser:
i like it  :up:

the only thing that might be worth considering would be making mruc do what you say mru would do, and leaving mru for a simple alias "menu" that would essentially show:
mrum - list only 'My Recent Documents' (what mru with no program modifiers does now)
mrup - list MRU items of all configured programs (what mru with all program modifers added would do now)
mrua - list everything (mrum and mrup combined)
mruc - list a combination of mrum and user selected modifiers (definable in the options dialog)

mouser:
another idea:
if user types clear at end of search, it could clear the contents of the specified mru list.

e.g.:
mru clear
mru +office clear

just an idea -- not saying it's worth implementing.

Yes, I was thinking about this as well, although I think 'mru +clear!' would make it a bit safer (and allow searching for files containing clear).

phitsc:
0.2.0 is available. Only a small step, but I hope in the right direction. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get rid of the simple directory check for UNC paths. While I found a way to improve this for My Recent Documents, that improvement made MRUs for programs worse. So I just left it how it was for now, waiting for a better idea of how this could be improved.

I've mainly added file existence checking for local files. UNC paths are currently never checked, it just takes too long. I just noticed that Vista doesn't even seem to check local files for existence for the Recent Items list.
