Exporting FARR result list using snagit TXT mode

[wjamoe]

Currently there is no option to export the results from the FARR window. I would have loved that option.
I tried to retrieve the data using ahk and nirsoft sysexporter, but could not get the info from the TNextgrid.

Snagit in txt capture mode helped to accomplish this task.

This works with very old versions of Snagit too [it is not freeware]

You first want to limit the number of columns and it is probably best to use small icons, each file on a separate line:

Start FARR options
 Program Options > Settings > Display Options
 Report Columns
   switch on/off extra columns
 Result Display style
   (.) small icon Report
Save FARR options.

Start a FARR search

Start Snagit config.
 Put Snagit in TXT capture mode
 Select the output format (file, clipboard,..)
Start selecting

Choose the FARR result window.
All visible lines from the file list will be copied.

Now you can use the file list in other programs to sort, journaling or create batch files
e.g. for backing up these files, etc...

Don't forget to restore your FARR display options and Snagit settings afterwards.

Mouser,

That would be much appreciated.

That could be useful, but it would seem to be a chore to ask you to do it if you don't need to - it is only necessary now because of an intermittent requirement and one apparently cannot already access the FARR output pane using (say) SysExporter (though Snagit apparently seems to work to some extent).
I would be interested to learn/understand why that is the case. CHS seems to be in the same boat.
Playing around with SysExporter just now, one can see/copy all the installed items (not just those currently displayed) in Windows Update, and the files listed in xplorer² similarly, so why not similarly in FARR and CHS?

It depends whether the UI control is simple windows base control (like a common simple listview), or a more complicated custom control like a grid (FARR, CHS).

Thanks for reminding me about this feature request however, I will add the ability to copy all results to clipboard.

[wjamoe]

Mouser, that would be great!

By all results do you mean all shown results, or really all results (multipage)

Ah, I see. Thanks for the explanation.

@mouser

thanks for implementing this feature

  rightclick on farr results list, copy to clipboard

Sorry I missed the update (apparently in 2018)

One additional request though, can you please add separators between the results, e.g. cr-lf ?
