Is google desktop password locked?

#364623

if you mean encrypted then no it is not

#364643

No. i meant password protected. You said you're using Google Desktop v3.0 and it has a feature that can lock the search.

Password-protected Office documents (Word, Excel)

is this is option you are talking about? It is not checked off-

#364688

no it is not

Yes i tried the shorcut. But it's not what i want. When i open ssmenu.exe, i have a small icon that appears in my OB taskbar (so like in the windows taskbar), but in OB i can't tape anything whereas in the windows one, i can. Isn't there anything i can do ...

Maybe wait the next release ;)

hum, this seems to be the best spotlight clone, nice :)

but is there any possitibilty for me to edit the resources? (i'd like to edit the image!)

Another question: how can I apply shadow with winFX to the menu? would be nicer.

1. The only resource you would find is the icon and an arrow. All the gradients are drwan by software.

2. No, i'ts not possible :(

#365606

Is ist normal that SearchSpy won't display the file, e.g. "rose.jpg" until I type thoe whole word ROSE? In GDS the result "rose.jpg" will be displayed when typing "ros" without the "e".

Another example is "Battlefield 2" - it only will display the result when typing the whole thing, "batllefield" is not enough.

Is this fixable? Anyway - a GREAT Clone! :)

#366466

No it's not. At least it's not on GDS v1 or v2. That's because the results google desktop sends to the app are not related to these kind of querries.

With the new COM method to get results in Google Desktop 3, i hope It became possible. But I haven't tested yet.

#366533

Please let us know if you can tweak this - would be a great enhancement!

Hi,

i uninstalled the searchspy. However, the index process seems still running after some time idling.. Is there any way to stop this process ?

#366855

Tha's because you removed it with the indexex running. The indexer was causing simply to many porblems. that's why I removed it on 1.1.

You should run

killtask /im SearchSpyIndex.exe

and then delete the folder where searchSpy was installed.

#366862

SearchSpyIndex.exe is not found on my system anymore. There is also no task like this running. I deleted the Search Spy directory some time ago...

Is there any possibility to stop the indexing now, because its of coz useless now...

tnx for ur help.

#367226

Finally, someone makes one that doesn't use crappy old GDS.

Thank you!

Keep up the great work.

erm i dont know how to activate from objectbar...can someone upload a simple objectbar script that will run the program from its default install location?

i mean like spotlight.obbar sort of thing. i could edit an existing one, but i cant find any bars that just run a program.

#367993

Great, do you know I love you :)

humm ...

I really love SearchSpy, it's the best working spotlight clone at the moment.

But I have a few things to say:

spotclone.PNG

What kind of icon is it at the right in the file list? sorry it looks ugly ^^ so I'd really like to change it, and by the way: It looks as if you're using windows list boxes so I do not really have any hope that it's possible to kill those "windows dots" arround the selected item... or do you have an idea?

And I'd love!! to translate it into german :(

#368100

ok nvm about the objectbar problem i fixed it.

how much memory does the searchspymenu use? ive found that if i get a search with excessive results my page file climbs by 300mb!

#368179

Hello SpyGamer,

1. that is awesome what you have done for all of us (at least me) who are at the receiving end of your efforts

2. enjoying SearchSpy tremendously

3. i think i stumble upon a small BUG

a. start the search dialog box

b. type in h = ok

c. type in o (ho) = ok

d. type in t (hot) = it hangs and then after a few moment, it shuts itself out, gone from the process list also

tried different commbinations, indexing first, with capital HOT ot Hot or hOt or hOT = same problem

may be it is just me

cheers ...
