Actually, I bet you use an extended character set $:-\$

The primary language is English (United States) in the Regional and Language Options.

I think this is because am using the latest beta of FARR and not the stable version.

Perry Mowbray · « **Reply #202 on:** August 18, 2010, 05:41 AM »

Did it work in the pervious verson of FARR?

sri · « **Reply #203 on:** August 18, 2010, 05:54 AM »

I have installed your plugin only after upgrading to the latest beta.

IainB is on WinXP http://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=17415.msg210765#msg210765 but his problem was a little different in that FARR crashed.

CyberEvil's problem seems to be that FARR isn't executing the executables's? ...and Sri's, at this stage, seems to be similar...

At one point I was thinking that CyberEvil's problem was a unicode issue... but I'm not so sure now as in the last test failed without the use of parameters...

sri · « **Reply #206 on:** August 18, 2010, 02:23 PM »

@mouser or anyone else: I am on Vista. Uninstalled FARR, deleted C:\Program Files\FindAndRunRobot\, reinstalled. When I ran FARR, my earlier settings and user aliases are still present. How do I start with a clean slate?

What is/are the folder(s) that contain FARR settings?

mouser · « **Reply #207 on:** August 18, 2010, 02:32 PM »

on vista and win7, they are somewhere in the My Documents/DonationCoder/FindAndRunRobot directory; exit farr and delete that and you should be back to a clean slate.

yeah, maybe a problem not having permission to launch it, either that OR timezone is looking for the executable in the wrong directory. maybe add some error checking to see that the file to be executed is really where you think it is?

OK, maybe the current directory is different on different OSes? I'll get CyberEvil to check...

If it was permissions, the OS doesn't complain?

Got same problem on Win 7 - all times are same and no settings window?

timns · « **Reply #211 on:** December 07, 2010, 06:26 PM »

Are we in trouble with this plug-in? I have similar problems on my Vista machine here:

- Cannot get into the settings (FARR just closes)
- No times are downloaded into the Data folder

Perry Mowbray · « **Reply #212 on:** December 08, 2010, 03:28 AM »

I've got an update to put up tonight... sorry everyone: I did fix it and sent it to someone to test but it didn't get past that...

Ah! Good man - I could really use this thing... wish I'd discovered it years ago.

Sorry for the delay in posting this... I was expecting feedback and it never came and I forgot

I think I've fixed the current path bug (thanks CleverCat), but would appreciate feedback (as it was never apparent on my machine)

New version in the first post of this thread and on my site if dcUpdater hasn't downloaded the new version for you..

Please let me know if that fixes it for you too...

CleverCat · « **Reply #215 on:** December 08, 2010, 12:30 PM »

You're welcome!

See what happens when you co-operate with a really kind Coder!

Yes it's working now. Just one minor thingie:

Options screen is squashed:

(Although the tips tell me what the items are, so it's perfectly usable)

Really nice utility.

EDIT: the Up/Down buttons don't seem to work properly

Yes, AHK seems to have some issues with it's window display on newer OS's (I think, otherwise I'm open to suggestions). Next edit I'll slide it down a little more...

Up/Down is used to move the item up or down in the list. You double click to edit, then you can Up & Down to your heart's delight... at least that's what I can do here?? Is that not working for you?

No, not really. I can move the bottom-most item up just one step, then it gets 'stuck'

Other items seem to be movable, but I can never get anything to the top slot, nor move the top one down.

No biggie - I have just edited the ini file instead

That's cheating!!

Can you edit the top row? Or is it just the Up/Down not working (that doesn't make sense) Maybe it's AHK's layout problems???

Hi, can't get this to work. I get a dialogue box on first run that says"No records extracted. ... Please see Dayname_log.txt & adjust the ini file.

BUT, no such file exists. Tried typing "tz" then selecting timezone redownload. Just get recurring dialogue box. I have FF as my default browser.

Nice app; would love to get it working :-)

Hi, I can not get the Timezone Plugin to work. I have tried everything: I get a dialogue box on first run that says "No records extracted. ... Please see DayName_log.txt & adjust the ini file.

BUT, no such file exists. Tried typing "tz" then selecting timezone redownload. Just get recurring dialogue box.

Cool app, I love how fast it is; I would love to get it working!!! I even installed it on my Laptop, just to make sure that it wasn't my machine; I have the same problem. :-)

sls_trader · « **Reply #222 on:** December 19, 2013, 04:20 PM »

Same Error for me too on Win7:
"No records extracted. Please see DayName_log.txt"

I've tried forcing a data download on each launch, changing the .exe settings to always run as administrator but cannot resolve it.
Is there a way to download the data manually from TimeAndDate.com?

I had this working on my XP machine and am suffering serious withdrawal without it now in Win7 :-(

This might be of use, so I shall mention it:
I recall that the FARR plugin TimeZone was very good but I uninstalled it as it stopped working for me (on Win XP), and I never went back to reinstall it after that. I think it worked OK with Win7 though. I might try it on Win10 now that I have recalled it.

See discussion: Re: FARR Plugin: TimeZone [Update version 1.4.2]

EDIT: 2017-08-12 2012hrs: Nope. Cannot get FARRTimeZone to work. It installs OK (from a .ZIP file), but the all-important Options settings page seems to be inoperable. The user has to stop the FARRTimeZone process before that page can even be accessed.
Maybe that might have been why I gave it up years ago; not sure.
Maybe it has been abandoned? The author (@Perry Mowbray) doesn't seem to have updated/fixed the proggie since v1.4.2 - 2010.12.08.
