[bug report / feature request ?] dynamic search folder

[nitrix-ud]

it is possible to have dynamic search folders by using the following trick :

you set a user variable dynamically (for instance using autohotkey : Run, C:\Program Files\FindAndRunRobot\FindAndRunRobot.exe -launch "setuservar Pixos.projet_www=SomeProject")
[MyVariables]
projet_www = C:\_web\www\SomeProject

Then you use the %uservar.Pixos.projet_www% variable as a search directory like virtual folder name (%PROGRAMFILES%, ...)
Works fine, BUT the variables are randomly refreshed, most of the time they are not.

in the options, the user variables reflects the change everytime, but most of the time FARR searches with the "previously set" folder

@mouser
is this a bug ? or do you have to create a new command line command : go[searchfolders]reload ?

Cheers, Nitrix

i can make farr re-cache the search directory locations whenever a user variable is set.

[nitrix-ud]

i think that would work 

or you could add a re-cache command line option

as you prefer

Hi mouser
any news regarding this issue ?

i'd would love to see a solution coming  

[mouser]

i'll try to post a new release this weekend with this functionality and a few other bug fixes.

[nitrix-ud]

that would be wonderful !

Thanks mouser 

[mouser]

ok done and will be in next update tonight.

[nitrix-ud]

wonderful !

hey mouser,
just tried the latest beta release 2.87.01

it does not resolve this issue...
maybe that's normal since it does not say so in the release note, when will that be available ?

[mouser]

try using this launch string: recachedirpaths
(in the same context you would call setuservar)

[nitrix-ud]

great mouser

that works !

thanks for pointing out that i didn't document it.
