Big Oops! ... thanks for binging that to my notice... I've fixed it. and i'm really sorry for the trouble it might've caused.

_________________

I had reported th problem of %A_MyDocuments% not working. New docs did not show up when %A_MyDocuments% was set to scan every time.

Actually it was working, it just doesn't scan sub-folders. It seems even after adding #n it still doesn't scan the sub folders (at least not for me). No problem though I now have it set to scan just the folder I update to regularly.

Thanks, Eric

the last '1' in the second loop makes sure that searched folders are recursively scanned...(somewhere around line 350).

just check that there's no \ at the end of folder name... like using %windir%\ instead of %windir%

Rajat, this is great! I love the script! I have replaced Launchy with 320mph immediately.
Some thoughts:
1. You could add a parameter to the ini file to specify the application Shift-Enter is opening the folder with (I prefer Total Commander).
2. The extension-list is a little too permissive due to the simple IfNotInString parsing. Files without extensions or with extensions like .e are included into the list, that clutters it too much.
3. If my text matches an entry in the recent list, that should be the first item in the result list (this way i can simulate search in the recent list).
4. Maybe Page-up and Page-Down could be implemented as well.

Keep up the good work, and thanks again!

good idea... should help ppl not using explorer.


i take it as bug... will fix it.


isn't it already so?


to move in the list?.. though i feel just typing anything from the apps name would be better, it might be useful for some.

thanks for the suggestions and comments! will work on them soon.

Definitely Thanks. I was about to make some changes for myself, now I will rather wait for yours! Sadly no. I have "Play Dink Smallwood" in my recent list, and by writing "dink" into the search line, I get dink.exe first. (I indexed my Program Files folder with 320mph)Well, this was only a wish in the cluttered list we talked above. No big deal.Rajat, you are a treasure.

PS: while we are at it:
5. Ability to turn off the bottom hints. If I dont close the gui but just alt-tab away, the hint stays on top annoyingly.

PS 2: 6. Maybe a #NoTrayIcon would be nice?

thanks for the example... actually the way the results are presented is as follows:

- items with names starting with search querry
- items with search querry anywhere in their names
- items with search querry anywhere in their whole path

now lets say the first category above covers 50 items, then among those 50, the top ones will be from your recently used items, then from your always scanned list and finally from the on-demand scanned list.


how about replacing the tooltip with a more conventional method... i'll put it the same way as the text that displays the no. of search results.


that sounds good! ... the tray icon is anyway useless for this script, especially when compiled.

thanks for all your suggestions!

Ah, I see. Actually this is good enough for me, because when I start to type "play", i get "Play Dink Smallwood" at the first place. Which is great!

No big deal for me, I completely deleted that part from the script, as I dont need that info at all. But the idea is good i think.

If I want to add more areas for it to search I'd need to edit the .ini



Right? Just insert the area I want it to search in the Path List area. Like E:\My Music|E:\My Videos

hi wOxxOm,
I'm planning to do something like this (but simpler) in my version as this is a really good idea (i'm sorry i got so late to this!)... i'll completely write it on my own but will keep your quote above, in my mind.
thanks! (and hope you don't mind)

I've found an interesting bug, but could not find the reason why this is happening:
I have these files in the start menu:
For some strange reason, typing "total un" lists only the Help.lnk file, and none of the others.

Hi, I haven't proven it, I think that's not a bug, it's a feature. There's one exclude-list

Everthing with these words is not listed...and it's good. 320mph is a programstarter and I want to see all programms without the uninstall-infos.
You're entries are subentries of "Total Uninstall".
Perhaps that's the reason.

But as I've said, I haven't proven it
Ciao
Micha

Thanks you are absolutely right. I forgot this list, which indeed is very useful, only in this case I got confused.

Uh anyway to remove it from the context menu (besides the registry..if not then what registry entry do I need to remove). Cause I like to have my context menu (the one that comes up when you right click a file/folder) neat and tidy.
