FARR Progress Report..

[mouser]

I'm finally getting back into some farr coding..

I've finished adding the "adaptive history" feature long requested by nontroppo (and well advocated for by bleak_xmas here).

I think i've also decided how to implement folder finding and keyword modifiers, at least for now, and am going to try to finish those and then release.  I think iwhen i release with these 2 major new features i will mark this as v2.

Then we can take what we've been calling v2 discussion as v3 discussion, which I think is going to require a rewrite with a new kind of interface.  The vista start menu search is going to raise the bar i think for such tools, and i think we need to come up with something special for the next version.

Farr is back in active!

I'm very happy

THANK YOU!  

                     

ps: Mouser: now that i see you talking about it, yes, adaptive history is for sure the biggest non-v2 (v3) request i have

Yeay for folder finding. Hopefully this works similar to the windows run dialog, in which you can type out the path to a file or folder, and have it appear as a dropdown list of potential matches as you type. WOOHOO!!!!

I'm not really good at picking up subtle hints like this, but I get the impression that you're quite pleased!

Because you guys have heard me promising updates for so long and gotten used to dissapointment i thought i should keep you updated here.

Folder-name searching is now implemented, but will need another day or two of tweaking before i release it.. I think we are going to have to play with it and see what works and what doesnt.  If nothing else it's a good experiment as we think about a more fundamental approach to this stuff.

So disappointed. I think mouser is just toying with us








Just kidding. Good job mousey, cant wait to see
