Download the current version of foo_run

Enjoy

looking forward to trying this -- much like foo_openwith, no?

thanks!

Nifty. Cheers. :]

Thank you very much!

Here's a search string for Wikipedia to help:

Thanks! I've been waiting for something like this since the first 0.9 version came out!

It would be great if you could add an option like the old "Call the command once per group (rather than once per file)." from foo_openwith.

this is great news, though i would like to see some features from foo_openwith ported over to this. like organizing services into submenus (using '/' like 'web/all music'), support for multiple files per one execution, preview, etc.

Is the download link broken for anyone else? I can't even find the server!

Thanks for this plugin. It's really usefull.
As a small request: ability to sort items.
A small "bug": in "explorer "http://www.allmusic.com...." explorer it's really useless in there, the http address by itself would be enough (will open that URL in default browser - Opera in my case)

My contribution: code for using this plugin with total commader

Done!

Thank you

Works just fine here.

yes, sorting, separators, groups ... that all would be very nice. i'm already using this plugin for cover art downloading and nfo viewing.

Which code are you using to download covert art?

i use this:

actually i'm using it together with that cover art downloader by david dl, here.

thanks!
finally i can search coverart from within foobar

And it works fine for me this morning. Hm. Curious.

Thank you!!!
The idea of plugin is great!
in addition to other wishes:
will be fine to add option "add from file".

Very very nice..

Adding a shortcutkey to a runcommand doesnt work?

it does, though it would show only 'run service' in the list ...

Very nice plugin

YOU ARE MY GOD FOR NOW

Edit by moderation: please refrain from using unnessecarily large font sizes.

this one is very nice indeed
Thank you

Are you sure? Tried different keys but i still cant make it work.. :/
Not good

It works here as well. The issue that the assigned shortcuts list only displays "Run Service" will be fixed in 0.9.2 beta 5.

Well, It's good to know that, thanks foosion.

This is one of the few plugins I've been impatiently waiting since I switched to 0.9. Really makes things a lot smoother, thanks!

I love this. Was missing Messer's foo_web with 0.9 I can't get it to search for anything but the first word on Amazon. This is the string I was using for foo_web:

Try this instead:

Unless I messed up, that should replace all the spaces in the artist and album names with plus signs.

Thanks, it works

This is an awesome port, so many things you can do with it

I have a request concerning the context-menu-entries of foo_run.
Could every command be implemented as for example "Run:Cover", so that you don't only have the "Run"-entry which then extends to all you commands?

somehow a little more nifty string for 'Open Directory'

How is supposed to be different from merely?

well I was wondering that too...
These were the default codes and I remember that I've tried something like 'totalcmd.exe %_path%' and didn't work

Anyway it works now ... both ways

I've just released foo_run 0.3.1. Changelog and download links are at the first post of this topic.

Edit: Thanks to all for the nice feedback

Here's my generous contribution:

Mr QuestionMan
"C:\Program Files\Mr QuestionMan.exe" "$substr(%_path%,0,$strrchr(%_path%,'\'))"

Thanks Florian.

Florian, thank you for working on this component. Have you seen my post?

Sure, but I have no idea how to achieve this with the foobar2000 SDK (except for putting all entries in the root menu, which would be very ugly).

Would it really be ugly? Since you don't have to add the root entries by default. Rather add them, if the user wishes so.

Ideal situation:
- have the run-menuitem, as it's now (added as standard, if the component is installed)
- have the run:"Item"-menuitems available in the commands list (however not added to the context-menu by standard)

What do you think of this idea?

thanks for this great plugin mate

"Allmusic Artist" etc. is absolutely suuuuuper!

Also a thank you from me

2 suggestions
- add a move up/down option
- I guess it's in principle the same, user 'm-z' asked on the first page; in 0.8.3 I used foo_openwith to send files to mp3gain, now only the first of the checked items is send to this program

That's what the slider simultaneous runs is for...

Hi!

I want to run a programme. The command must contain the path of the 2 files which i have selected in the playlist.

C:\WINDIFF.EXE path_1 path_2

is this possible?

Thank you!

I don't think so. 'Simultaneous runs' opens x instances of the program, so when the slider is at 10 and I mark 10 songs, 10 instances of mp3gain open, each with one song, but I would like those 10 songs in 1 instance

Just out of curiosity, why would you need mp3gain if foobar2000 can do exactly the same for quite some time now?

What if I want to play my music on a DVD player, in my car, my hardware mp3 player....in these cases foobar does not do "exactly the same" thing as mp3gain, or did I miss something?

I think you did

Right click>Replaygain>Apply to MP3 data

Indeed...thanks for the enlightenment
So now I'm wishless and happy

Hello,

I like foobar2000 and foorun. But many of my files have ac3 which sounds better in Winamp than in foobar due to the plugin "Valex's AC3 decoder forWinamp". Is there a possibility with "foorun" to play ac3-files directly in Winamp. I have added "Open with Winamp" and the path "F:\Programme\Audio_Tools\Winamp\winamp.exe".
But this opens Winamp without playing the file.

Regards

Robbi
