Running Program error

[viking2]

I am still trying to figure out how to get FiltaQuilla to show a notification window (see here: https://github.com/RealRaven2000/FiltaQuilla/issues/240).

I found a native Windows program that can send one message at a time; For example: C:\Windows\System32\msg.exe peter "hello" , where peter is my windows username, would open a window with text "hello". It works fine from the command prompt.

However, when I run it as a program in FiltaQuilla, I get an error: Applying filter Copy of test failed. Would you like to continue applying filters?

p.s. running C:\Windows\System32\notepad.exe works fine

I am still trying to figure out how to get FiltaQuilla to show a notification window (see here: #240).

Can you make a error console log? If there are no exceptions there, it may happen lower down at the filter service layer (which we Add-on developers have no access to) - the error message looks like it comes from there.

How to create the JavaScript log is described here:

https://quickfilters.quickfolders.org/bugs.html#createlog

(you can ignore the section on extra log detail by right-clicking debug, although this technique also works in FIltaQuilla - these are special debug switches that add detail, but I don't think it's useful here).

Here is what I get after editing the filter

FiltaQuilla [logTime init]

        }
TypeError: gFilter.searchTerms[i] is undefined
[qFilters-filterEditor.js:142:15](chrome://quickfilters/content/qFilters-filterEditor.js)

After I try to run the filter, I get:

Uncaught 
Exception { name: "NS_ERROR_FILE_INVALID_PATH", message: "Component returned failure code: 0x80520009 (NS_ERROR_FILE_INVALID_PATH) [nsIProcess.init]", result: 2152857609, filename: "chrome://filtaquilla/content/filtaquilla.js", lineNumber: 564, columnNumber: 0, data: null, stack: "applyAction@chrome://filtaquilla/content/filtaquilla.js:564:22\n", location: XPCWrappedNative_NoHelper }

EDIT: I figured out the issue; at the command prompt I need to use the syntax: C:\Windows\System32\msg.exe peter "hello"

However, in FiltaQuilla I need to add commas: C:\Windows\System32\msg.exe, peter, "hello"

I would like the message box to display the subject etc, so I tried this: C:\Windows\System32\msg.exe, peter, @SUBJECT@, @AUTHOR@ (p.s. I first tried @subject@ and that didn't work.....)

That worked :-)! I get the output in the message box, showing the E-mail subject and author!

The disadvantages with this approach is that:

1. I can only see one message at a time. I need to click on "OK" in the message box to see the next one.
2. I can not click on the message box to take me to the E-mail.

thanks, good job! But i have problems with cyrilic symbols in a subject. ) It's a next disadvantage with this approach. But i like it.

Can you please add a separate bug, maybe we can decode the subject properly...

There is shown the name of sender and a subject. The subject is "Hello! Привіт!".

right- but please don't piggy back new issues on existing bugs - make new ones so we can deal with them. This has nothing to do with the original issue, and I cannot close #254 that way.
