A minnor update. Enter is now used and the memo mode is now active

jgpaiva · « **Reply #76 on:** June 12, 2008, 04:43 PM »

Oh, i hadn't noticed that.
It's interesting.. I search for "d\ga\tm", and Timer comes up, it really shouldn't.. I'm not sure if the regex would solve it, though, because i added that regex as a custom regex and then Timer stopped working as it did normally.

I guess mouser could give us some explanation?

czb · « **Reply #77 on:** June 12, 2008, 05:04 PM »

Yeah it seems as a bug. I have already given notice to mouser and he said he would resolve it

So let us hope

i think this might be a bug in fscript matching of keyword. i'm passing the buck to ecaradec and see if it comes back to me

I have tried talking warning and I have got "unknown exception" several times and suddenly now it works fine again. I have no idea why this happends but I have included try catch statement so in case of any error you will not loose your alert message

Thanks. I'll experiment with that!

tm settings
gets me a never-ending series of settings windows. Have to kill FARR to stifle the little blighters...

Having spoken messages enabled no longer causes the message window to fail, though :

same here! definitely a problem.

czechboy and i might have to talk to see if this is a bug with the new FARR system or a bug in the plugin.

i suspect the problem may be with the way that farr now signifies an Enter being pressed after a search string is set programmatically.
the solution may be simply to add the ability to add a \n to a string when you specify an alias action of "restartsearch" so that plugin/alias can choose whether to trigger the hitting of enter after setting the search string. if you don't understand what i'm talking about that's ok, this is only for the heavy alias users and plugin writers to be concerned with.

It was my mistake. I do not know how it happened by forgot to save and upload the latest version... now it should be fine. But to be sure pls check it

thanks

i think there was also something farr was doing wrong that is now fixed. new version of farr+timer have no trouble with settings.

czb: you might want to make timer (and any other plugins) not launch settings until user hits enter, and just display in output that they should hit enter to launch settings dialog now that the Enter method works. just an idea.

[edit]
Just had a spoken message for the first time ever, too!.
This is almost as good as an Amiga.

Talking about timer (just peeped into it) :
Why can't I make an ALIAS like " tm in 60 tada " , work (I doesn't create a timer)

jgpaiva · « **Reply #86 on:** July 15, 2008, 11:16 PM »

Hi echo!
I think you're looking for "dosearch", "restartsearch" or "dosearchontrigger". They're documented on the help file, under "Advanced Use -> Special/Virtual Launch Strings".
An example would be:
dosearch tm in 60 tada
The three different keywords are aimed at different situations, so just try each one and see which ones fits best

echo · « **Reply #87 on:** July 16, 2008, 05:27 PM »

mytm2To my surprise
dosearch helped

It might be only me , but I wouldn't have guessed it from the HELP . Why are aliases so different from UNIX aliases ?

Thank you for the assistance

jgpaiva · « **Reply #88 on:** July 16, 2008, 05:28 PM »

The aliases aren't designed to replace a search by another search, they are designed to be used to launch other programs. Only when you add one of those I mentioned do they work like you'd expect with an unix alias.
Probably, the name isn't very adequate

A minnor update. Enter is now used

Enter doesn't work for validation

.
Typing a period is not intuitive and very puzzling for a new user (in the video the period is hardly visible

)
Otherwise a great bravo for Timer

I'm not saying Timer plugin don't work. I'm saying that it works but with period key for validation and not with enter key (XP SP2, French keyboard).
My bad English for sure

ATTENTION czb:
The web still has the old version of this plugin (and google translate plugin)!
Share the latest version with the world please.

Now it's OK !

alexey_r · « **Reply #96 on:** September 22, 2008, 12:41 PM »
