Well, It does work with BUFFY in the sense that it will read the save information coming out of BUFFY. That's 95% of it anyway.I recall seeing a post saying that MapFinder App 1.7.1 works with BUFFY-3.19.001. I guess it was naive to assume everything would work. However, everything in MapFinder App 1.7.1 could reasonably work without change by using the same INI format in the BUFFY module that what originally used in the HOF module.
I would have made a quick change but someone made a long list of things I need to do to make the utility better.
Yeah, that Google Destop/Browser search stuff is incidious. Just about anything you download these days seems to want to install Google stuff, too. I have mostly been successful avoiding it but I have had to de-install it a couple times and remove its changes to my browers setting.I didn't install Google Desktop Search on my PC; it was part of the software bundle that came with the machine; the only part of the software bundle I ever used was Vista itself.
I never used Google Desktop Search, so it was a shocking surprise that it ran instead of MapFinder when I first typed CTRL-ALT-G in BtS 3.19 with BUFFY-3.19.001. I actually typed CTRL-ALT-G several times, before it occured to me that CTRL-ALT-G was a shortcut for Google Desktop Search. It took about an hour to find the regedit instructions for disabling that shortcut; I thought it quite un-Google-like to have such simple thing made so difficult (tedious) to do.
