hello hal world

[hector]

i have succseffuly launched and bought hal, given it a new  brain based on the hallsuperbrain and it is working perfectly.... my question/s:

the hal is on my computer in my office i would like to be able to open a program (like it does already on my computer) on a difrent computer in the office.(the office is connected on a network) is their a way to get it to do this action ie: hal open "paint" on  "office computer 2" i realize that the locations would have to be specified manually? any help on this? is their a plug-in that allows this?

i would also like to be able to manually specify what to open when i type in a certain text ie user: open latest photos hal: ok (then hal searches key text open latest images and runs something like this: if commandText@"open latest photos" then run:documents/images/LatestPhotos; cmd+a(select all files) enter(open files) ; or something im not a programmer so im not able to do this myself but i am able to specify what to open i think.

if you can help me find these solutions to my problem that would be wonderfull..... thank you in advance il will have my eyes constantly pealed for forum replys

Welcome to the Hal community hector,

your first request is possible, but you would have to have a plug-in built, I do not know of any plug-in currently that will open a program on a different machine connected with in your network. I'm not saying one is not built yet, just that I have not seen one.

for your 2nd request go to http://www.ultrahal.com/community/index.php?topic=5323.msg32725#msg32725
here is where you can find a plug-in to open pictures.

Edit: you may have to modify the plug- in's code to change the file types from video to jpeg,  giff etc. it been a while since I looked at the code. (code can be viewed and modified in note pad) if you need any help I can try and help. I am not always on so reply might take a day or so.
