simple file (dll) searcher

<< < (2/4) > >>

mouser:
My Find and Run Robot (FARR) tool is perfectly suited for this kind of thing.

You would add a search folder entry pointing to your vstplugins folder(s), specifying that it should only display .dll files, and add a keyword like "vst".

Then to search for a dll in that folder containing "sam" you would hit the hotkey to bring up FARR, and then type "+vst sam" and it would instantly show you all matching dll files with sam in their name.
You could also create a custom hotkey so that as soon as you press it, it would launch FARR with the "+vst " part pre-filled in, showing all vst .dlls and waiting for you to type more to filter.

spacedad:
thanks,that is working,
is there a way to prevent the folders from showing up in the search,so just the .dll's show?

spacedad:
when i searched for 'midimon' 'nf_midimon' didn't show up.

spacedad:
sorry,yes it is finding 'nf_midimon',it was hidden.
had to press pagedown.
now need to figure out how to get all results to show without having to press pagedown,and without showing the folders.

spacedad:
and that was easily fixed in 'folder browsing' and 'display options' settings.
(sorry to keep answering myself!)
this is a great app,thanks very much! :) (just donated a small amount)
