When you get the taskbar sized and shaped exactly the way you want
it (the quick launch toolbar, DQSD and the 'rest' of it) you can
right click over the taskbar and check 'lock taskbar/toolbars' (or
something like that) to prevent them from resizing on you.

Re: [DQSD-Users] Can I have Merriam Webster be the default dict?

2005-01-06 Thread Kerry 




Hi Kim:

You were right but now it's behaving differently than before when I had
XP Home and before ServicePack 2 . What I just did to get it to work is
dbl click on the word Search to the right of the vertical  DQSD sizing
bar. What happens is the Search icon jumps to the far left (touching
the Quick Launch's vertical sizing bar), revealing a very large search
field. Then the >> chevrons are displayed, which when I click
them the DQSD menu appears correctly. The calendar displays correctly

With XP Home I'd size search field so that the day, date and time fit
exactly in the search field and, the chevrons would be at the right end
of the search field. 

When I selected "Check for update" I got the exact same error massage 
"DQSD failed to parse on-line version information. 
Error message: The download of the specific resource has failed."
I did the "Check for update" procedure twice with the same results.

Thanks, I'll be so pleased if I can get it working as it did before I
upgraded to XP Pro and Service Pack 2.

With aloha,

Kerry

I think you're clicking the wrong chevron. DQSD's is pointing the other way:
">>". However, it only becomes visible if the search field holds a certain
width, so try making it wider, and it should appear just to the right of the
input box. I believe the one you're trying is the one that displays all tray
notification area icons.

  
  
I also got a desktop 
message "DQSD failed to parse on-line version information.

Provided you get the menu showing, can you try and click "Check for
update..."? I think you may have run into a temporary error, but I want to
make sure.

Cheers,
Kim

[DQSD-Users] new tinyurl.xml search

2005-01-06 Thread Brent Beardsley 
Hi all,

Kim wanted me to post this newest version of
tinyurl.xml which selects and copies the tinyurl into
the DQSD text box instead of popping up the tinyurl
webpage.  Should save a few mouse clicks and
keystrokes.

Enjoy,

Brent

Reading the posts I was thinking I was doing too many clicks to get the url
by having to go to the tinyurl site when redirected by dqsd. Since I don't
use IE (at this point i'm not sure what anyone would) I had a search, and
there is a great extension for firefox, http://tinyurl.com/4wfte right click
in a page and select the tinyurl which is then copied to the clipboard. Also
found a very useful copy as plain text extension from the same author.

You can control DQSD just about any way you could want. To override

overwrites the existing mapping. Add this to localaliases.txt, on
it's own line:
 dic|mwd %s
This will change the behavior of "dic" to search the Merriam Webster

Hi Monty,

I tried pointing directly at search.htm using a file:// URL, but that didn't
work. It requires a http:// URL, for some reason.
I think this is all supported by the fact that the current DQSD host is part
of IE or the shell.

It's in the help for the search (?multi), though it should probably
have a full page devoted to it:

MultiSearch
Perform multiple searches with a single command line expression.

superMultiModeEnabled can be set to true in localprefs.js to enable
super multi mode which allows different sets of searches to be done
(ie: multi search1 /firstParam; search2 search3 /secondParam)

superMultiModeSepChar can be set to a character in localprefs.js to
determine the split character for the super multi mode the default
value is ; 
Usage:

planes on altavista and google.

With over 300 searches you can easily expect to spend a year
learning each search, and making your own. I've committed over a
dozen searches I've made to DQSD and my own 'localsearches' folder
currently has 15 searches in it - most of them are for different
sites I work on, and I have a 'tester' search specifically for
helping to create new searches.

I think we ought to do a 'search a day' type thing where the fine
points of specific searches are detailed so people know what's
available to them. Is anyone interested in that? I'd cover the
searches I use myself first, of course. ;)

2005-01-06 Thread jean-marie winters 
Hi Brent
this  one did the trick.Shawn, I already  got that little secret 
uncovered. Where did you get that information about the syntax for that 
multi ? Trial and error or is there a place to look in ?
Both of you thx for the problemsolving
