Thanks for doing this, mouser. I've learned a lot, not least that I'm miles away from using FARR to it's full power

But this is certainly much appreciated.

Btw, about the last screencast with the Search Behavior Options tab, some of these options have moved to a different tab, called Folder Browsing, in case anyone was wondering

mouser · « **Reply #5 on:** September 04, 2009, 08:38 AM »

thanks for the nice words. yes it's true about the options moving around a bit since i made that video.. the video made me realize i should split things up a bit more. i guess i will have to come back and doover some of these videos eventually.

Hmmmmm, my typos are usually way sneakier than that!! They usually end up being a word in the dictionary. The spelling checker doesn't flag 'em. After I post I read it over and find "I never had a problem with that." is all of a sudden "I never had a problem width that." Worse than the magic sock in the dryer!!

At least you check your spelling, rather than examining magical incantations.

The way I figure it, if an incantation ain't magical, then what the spell good is it?

edit: (couldn't resist lame pun - or is that a redundancy?)
