Folders bug
« on: September 14, 2007, 09:07 AM »
I wanted to browse my music folder but ...

"E:\Music\Club - House - Techno - Trance\"  didn't show anything :(

And when I typed "e:\music\club - " it showed my "Club - House - Techno - Trance" folder but when I typed the "H" it didn't see it anymore

i think this is a bug with the - characters being treated as keyword modifiers by FARR and stripped out.  it was posted about in the past and i think i can fix it, sorry i haven't yet.. look for an update next week.

Any chance of you fixing the bug with the %FARRDIR% variable having a trailing slash in it in this update as well? To better explain the problem, consider the following default search folder for FARR:
Code
%FARRDIR%\scripts

The problem is that FARR interprets that as…
Code
C:\Program Files\FindAndRunRobot\\Scripts
…instead of the expected C:\Program Files\FindAndRunRobot\Scripts. You are still able to launch the links, but the icons are broken because of this.
