AutoHotkey Portable 1.0.47.6 Development Test 3 + AHK add ons

Instead of 3 launchers, why not just do what I did for my NSIS portable, and make the exe a passable parameter through [AppName]Portable.ini. This saves on space.

See the Hint: section in this topic.

To do this, you will also have to change

	CheckRunning:
		Sleep 1000
		FindProcDLL::FindProc "${DEFAULTEXE}"                  
		StrCmp $R0 "1" CheckRunning
		Sleep 100

to

	CheckRunning:
		Sleep 1000
		FindProcDLL::FindProc "$PROGRAMEXECUTABLE"                  
		StrCmp $R0 "1" CheckRunning
		Sleep 100

When ever i try to install this, i keep gtting any error about corrputed file. Can someon help me?

I'd say that maybe make 1 launcher that lets you choose which ones you want to open.
Oh, and I think that There should be just an AutoHotKey.ini with multiple sections, looking like this:

[AutoIt3WindowInfoSpyPortable]
AutoIt3WindowInfoSpyDirectory=App\AutoHotKey
SettingsDirectory=Data\settings
AutoIt3WindowInfoSpyExecutable=AU3_Spy.exe
AdditionalParameters=
DisableSplashScreen=false

[AutoScriptWriterPortable]
AutoScriptWriterDirectory=App\AutoHotKey\AutoScriptWriter
SettingsDirectory=Data\settings
AutoScriptWriterExecutable=AutoScriptWriter.exe
AdditionalParameters=
DisableSplashScreen=false

[SmartGUICreatorPortable]
SmartGUICreatorDirectory=App\AutoHotKey\smartgui
SettingsDirectory=Data\settings
SmartGUICreatorExecutable=SmartGUI.exe
AdditionalParameters=
DisableSplashScreen=false

[AHKCompilerPortable]
AHKCompilerDirectory=App\AutoHotKey\Compiler
SettingsDirectory=Data\settings
AHKCompilerExecutable=ahk2exe.exe
AdditionalParameters=
DisableSplashScreen=false

# The above options are explained in the included readme.txt
# This INI file is an example only and is not used unless it is placed as described in the included readme.txt

Okay, I'm not exactly fulfilling what you asked of me for the testing, but here it goes:

• MUI.nsh doesn't have to be included because it comes with every NSIS installation, however GetParameters.nsh has been modified by John, which is why it's included.
• I seriously think a multi-launcher like GamePack Portable would work best for this (because not everybody wants certain things on the menu).
• You need the GPL notice in the readme.txt

I hope that this'll become official, as well as NSIS portable, so we have more development tools.

Just a pointer, you could get some ideas from the script on AHK forum,
Portable Autohotkey

I like running autohotkeyportable.exe with my hotkeys defined in the autohotkey.ahk file because I can edit and reload the script more quickly than compiling a script into an exe.

What I don't like is the message every time I start autohotkey that says "The sample .ahk script will be copied to the my documents folder...blah blah blah". Is there any way to suppress that message?

What's the status of this is it ready for release?

Keep up the good work this could be great once its finished!

None of the downloads work

Autohotkey has been updated if this is still being supported.

This may not be the right place to ask this, but I have downloaded this and I am interested in creating a program, but I haven't a clue what I'm doing. I'm looking for someone that would be willing to provide some help, or at least maybe show where I can find a tutorial or something. Here is the background of what I want to do (I'm thinking it should be fairly simple):

Twice a year my colleagues and I have to take an exam. A bibliography is published several months before the exam that lists the references used for the upcoming exam. Every time a new BIB is published, I download all the references (which usually there is only maybe one or two new ones, with maybe a few that have been updated). For the most part they are all .pdf files. What I would like to create is a GUI that will allow you to select the exam cycle, at which point you would be provided with a list of the references. Then you can select the reference you would like to study and it will open (preferably to the chapter/section/page listed in the reference). There are a few other things I would like this to be able to do (like an easy update system since I would have to push this out 2-3 times a year), but that is the basic idea right now.

I had an HTML version that worked fine, but it was a pain in the neck to update and used ActiveX.

Like I said, I may not be in the right post, so please feel free to move it. If anyone has a clue how I might get started at doing this, please let me know. I'm sure once I'm started and get a clue how to use the various programs (AutoHotKey, SmartGUI Creator, NSIS, and what not), then I'll be able to figure out how to carry on. Once again, thanks for any help.

Okay I know this might sound awfully needy, but when I create an app I often need somekind of settings, icon files, etc to go with it. It's really not easy to add you script to autofind the pam drive and the average user will hate doing that so here's what I suggest. In the data folder include a subfolder named scriptsettings. Then when ahk portable is ran move that folder with the script. That way the script can simply look in that subdirectory when it's ran. Second suggestion would be to create a .ini that the launcher edits each time ran. the .ini can stay in the scriptsettings folder and can have a value for the PAM drive. Several launchers do a letter change in files and it isn't too difficult. That way if the person wanted to launch/open something from the drive they just have to read the letter from that .ini. Anychane you'd be willing to do so?

If not would you mind if I took this over?
