FlaUI VS fsearch

If you are looking to automate this all through the GUI of each app involved then I suggest using FlaUI or some other wrapper around UIA

FlaUI

The best open-source library for writing UIA for native Windows desktop apps is FlaUI if you find the problem space interesting. I started learning about all types of UIA when I started at a company doing QA work. Now I worked on UIA because I learned from my experience how bad UIA support is in most applications, and I am disappointed that people who are disabled have that to look forward to, not to mention that if my hands were ever crushed or some other maiming were to occur, I would be depending on UIA as well. Since that realization, I have tried to get more developers interested in UI automation and its quality, not just because of its effect on others with disabilities but because it benefits anyone in our profession to have that safety.

Alternatively if you're into dotnet, FlaUI is amazing for automation and gives you a sane environment. I moved to it when I couldn't deal with AutoIT scripts anymore and it's everything I needed. https://github.com/FlaUI/FlaUI

I would suggest taking a look at FlaUI https://github.com/FlaUI/FlaUI

What comes to mind is something like this one: https://github.com/FlaUI/FlaUI I don't think it can do the "search image on screen" part. A smooth mouse movement is only a series of mouse teleports, so that should be coded relatively easy. If you really don't know where the image is on screen and it also does not have a id to search for then it will be a little harder I guess. Like making a screenshot and putting it into some image processing library? Probably there are easier solutions out there

Is it possible to control another program via code? This link says yes and the following is the successor of what they originally recommended: https://github.com/FlaUI/FlaUI.

If you're like me and have way too many tabs open and then get lost whenever you need to access that one tab quickly again, then this software might help you. It basically uses FlaUI to search for tabs in your browser instances and allows you to open the tab within a click. No need to manually click through all your browser instances. Kinda like the launchers everyone knows, just for browser tabs.

Hi, author here.

Likely the most significant benefit is the more powerful query language. For example you can also search by file modification date or size and use boolean operators. https://github.com/cboxdoerfer/fsearch/wiki/Search-syntax

Yes, FSearch is the one I use, but it's not as great, per FSearch's dev:

> However, FSearch doesn't automatically detect changes made to the file system and update its index then. This is on the roadmap (it's called inotify support) but it'll never work as smooth as Everything on Windows, because the Linux kernel isn't particularly good at reporting filesystem changes

Everything is comprehensive + instant + always up-to-date, that's so awesome a combo it's a pity it's Windows only

If you are new and wish a simple way to search, fsearch is a very nice tool.... https://github.com/cboxdoerfer/fsearch

You might consider grabbing the latest release at https://github.com/cboxdoerfer/fsearch/releases.

One other program I've been particularly enjoying recently is fsearch : https://github.com/cboxdoerfer/fsearch

If you don't need content indexing, Fsearch is an alternative. I've been using it for over a year now and it's been working flawlessly. Results are near instant and the db is in single digit megabytes.

But AFAIK nothing seems to use this, def not fsearch, they have an open issue - https://github.com/cboxdoerfer/fsearch/issues/26

Still remember those days of arguing on /g/ where linux longbeards stallman fanboys tried to say how this or that tool was good search... but I dont want to just find something, I want to use it that second, and I want the entire system indexed... after getting some webms to showcase that instant feel it got the message across, though later someone appeared with some dmenu trickery being similarly fast and useful... anyway Fsearch that appeared soon after me is the real deal.
