Arjen, can you check what version # it says you are running in your about box?

I just noticed that the window transparency setting doesn't work anymore. It actually works only when I move the slide, but once it's set and I close the Option window, the FARR main window goes back to its normal opacity.

I've noticed this behavior when the skin pack is installed. Without it, transparency setting works ok.

Hi Mouser,

First off, I think V2 is really wonderful. I really appreciate the addition of phrase search and the directory modifiers. Those are two great features (IMO).

I was playing around and discovered the following:  When using the arrow  keys to navigate folder structures in the results pane, the focus switches back  the search box after pressing one arrow key. For navigation purposes, I think it would be better for the results pane to maintain focus, so that the user can keep stepping through the directory hierarchy, rather than having to hit the down arrow to get focus back to the results pane. This fits in the realm of being a minor annoyance, but I think maintaining focus (if not hard to do) is the way to go.

Also, I note that when the path you are navigating contains a "-", that the part of the path after the "-" gets parsed out and appended to the end of the path string in the search box. IMO, this is a minor thing, and I'm not sure how you'd fix this without changing the "-" modifier to a character that is not acceptible in folder or file names.

Thanks again!
Bob

Actually, that made me find something too. When navigating through folders, if you select a folder and press TAB, the name of the folder is copied to the inputbox, and the focus stays on the results and the only result is that same folder. I think that doesn't make sense. Either the focus is returned to the inputbox, or the other folders and results for that folder should come up.

So "Select,Tab" should do what "Select, Right Arrow" does now, and "Select, Right Arrow" should have the same result, but leave the focus on the first entry in the results. "Select, Left Arrow" is the same, but the first entry is the parent of the previously-selected item?

Makes sense to me!  :D

I'm thinking, too, that plugins and aliases should appear to the user as if they were folders, probably stored and organised in something like LBC's .mcf  files.
