Hi Yuta,

If you want a folder only version, you only have to strip extensions to simply "dir" and no other file extensions. That will do the trick.

By the way, new versions are on my site now:

Hello there. Great script! On my machine (Vista unfortunately) Firefox bookmarks are currently opening in iexplore.exe.

How can I get the script to open these in Firefox? Or even better, in a new tab in Firefox if an instance of Firefox is already running?

Firefox is set as my default browser and default opener of html files.

Cheers!

the latest version of nDroid won't work right for me. I'm using winXP, and what happens is that ndroid behaves normally when I first push capslock+a, but

whenever I type a search string into nDroid, an nDroid taskbar item comes up (with no window visible on screen attached to it) this only happens once nDroid starts to show results (i.e. i can type at least two characters before it happens, and maybe 5 if i type fast).

As long as the taskbar item is open, nDroid ignores all keyboard input (but not mouse input) even if I use the mouse to place keyboard-focus (caret) in the nDroid screen. The taskbar item can be closed by pressing escape.

Anybody know how to fix this?

hi folks - I'm still finding nDroid to be useful to me, (a million times better than windows search!) but not as useful as I would like it to be. I set nDroid to search through a fairly broad spectrum of files and folders because otherwise it won't find everything I want to quicklaunch with it. My computer runs quite slowly whenever nDroid is updating its index. (if I could by-default include subfolders and then exclude subfolders that I manually list, that would be awesome; also ideally I'd like to be able to make the re-indexing run slowly so that other processes would run nearly at full performance while nDroid updates).

The other problem I have is that the bug I was experiencing before (see previous post) is still there. It seems not to happen all the time now but just intermittently.

Where's Rajat? Doesn't he use his script anymore? Did he find something better?

You could try different settings of SetBatchLines at the beginning of the indexing routine so the script won't hog as much processing power.

E.g. I would try from "5ms" to "1ms" and if that doesn't work, try anywhere from "1" to "20".

But only do it on the indexing subroutine/function so it's still snappy when filtering files.

@infogulch I don't recall the source of nDroid every being released (the succesor of 320mph). If you go to the nDroid website the forum is riddled with spam so I guess Rajat doesn't have the time to work on it at the moment. Fures provided a nice adaption of 320mph with some faster searches, good starting point to develop things a bit further for those interested.

Oh. I didn't know the source wasn't released.

I guess that tells you how much I knew about it before I posted...

Thanks for all of your hard work in updating 320mph. I think that this is a very worth successor to Rajat's original.

For anyone reading this, I used his most recent version:
http://wfures.eqnet.hu/my_ahk_updates/my320MPH.ahk

I had to right click on the icon and choose "Full Scan Now!" to get it to make the index.

Just splendid work, though. I got pretty excited about Redstone a while back, but I find your code loads easier to understand.

I'm curious if anyone would be up to adding a special addition to this program so I can use it in my 911 call center? I'm no programmer, I'd much rather be on a call with a suicidal

By itself, it already does great at finding files and folders we might be looking for.

What I'd like to add is a grep function that would go search in a txt file I have that has a ton of info in it, very similar to how a program like baregrep would work, but without all the regexp stuff - I don't need it.

If I could wave a magic wand, I'd like to hit a hotkey and start typing what I'm looking for, then have the filename results show up in one window and the grep results from this txt file show up right below it.

So for example if I type "k9", the top would return any files with K9 in the name like normal, but another section below would also return any line that had "k9" in it from my txt file.

As a 911 dispatcher, any chance we get to speed up how long it takes us to look something up is a huge bonus. I'd be willing to paypal some beer money to anyone who wants to work with me on this

Thanks!

Just to be sure: that is really a txt file (which you can open in MS Word for example) and not a MS Word file or PDF? (access to WORD/PDF is difficult)

Ya, its got some sensitive information or I'd just paste some of it, but its literally a .txt file with each separate thing on its own line. So I have officer's info, vehicle radio numbers, call out procedures, 1500 spanish phrases, every pay phone location in the city, etc in it

Something like 3k lines and I'd be adding another 8k lines or so of fire dispatch info if I can get it the way I want to be able to share with other people without a huge learning curve

OK, let's say it would find keywords in the given txt file.
It probably can indicate the 1st x letters (say, 30) of the matching line.
What kind of action do you want if you select and hit enter over this match?
Open the txt file and jump to that line?
Or even better, grab the text from the matched line and show the full text of the line in a msgbox?

Hi,

my320MPH (my version of Rajat's script) uses smart indexing - it monitors user activities and stops indexing when you use the computer. It continues indexing when computer is idle for x seconds (you can set up the value for yourself). Consequently, you dont feel the indexing slowing down anything.

cheers,
fures

@fures, will you update your version to include a preview feature?
