:shock::? It'll sound 'better' (more familiar) for Germans to say "Titans Makro Recorder" instead of "Macro Rekorder von [engl.=by] Titan", the later is ~ that you own it, instead of that you've developed it. :wink:

FormatTime, SD,, ShortDate

FormatTime, FileNameTimestamp,, '%SD%' - HHmmss

FileSelectFile, file, S19, %A_MyDocuments%\Macro %FileNameTimestamp%.ahk, %FileSelectFile%, AutoHotkey Scripts (*.ahk; *.txt)
I've used the above lines to label the recorded macros with a 'localized' timestamp instead of your static format. 8)

@ Alan (Stancliff)
you can use CTRL+C to copy the text from an Error msg to paste it to your/a thread. That'll be easier/quicker as if to use a screenshot.

Hi BoBo,

You are right to have pointed that out, and I quite sympathize. Unfortunately, the dialog box did not copy when I used the <ctrl><c> key, nor could I select the text with my mouse. So I took a screen shot and compressed it into a GIF file of 11 kb.

I just did not want to type out the message by hand.

Thanks BoBo.

ISO date is international :p However ShortDate is much easier to read so I'll that for the next update.

Alan Stancliff, the Hwnd option requires at least v1.0.46.16+ of AutoHotkey so could you'll need to get the latest version.

Edit: v0.11a released.

Titan,

In the German translation you can't see the hotkeys for starting and stopping the recorder as the fields they are shown in are a little bit too narrow. Only "STRG+UMSCHALT+" (="CTRL+SHIFT+") can be read. I guessed that it should be "S" (start) and "E" (end) and was right.

Thanks, I've increased the width of the control for the next version.

Hasso is right. For that reason I've tweaked 'my own' release with a fix scaled width. Another option: chnage it to become CTRL+ALT+E/S.

What I think is even more confusing is the ToolTip advise: "Press ^!E to stop"
If you're not to familar with AHK (might be one, if not the main reason why someone will use the TMR), why such a user should be aware about the meaning of AHKs special keys notation??

^ = CTRL/STRG
! = ALT
^!E = CTRL/STRG+ALT+E

If they are major changes do you mind posting them so I can merge it with my script.

Good reasoning, and it should be quite easy to map symbols to words. "Ctrl" -> "Strg" is the only required translation right?

Unfortunately not. There are even worse ones:

CTRL+ALT+CAPSLOCK
STRG+ALT+FESTSTELL
or
CTRL+SHIFT+CAPSLOCK
STRG+UMSCHALT+FESTSTELL

do you mind posting them so I can merge it with my script.

Well, I'm afraid I can't do that! :lol: (just kidding, stay tuned ...)

Choose CTRL+ALT+SHIFT/STRG+ALT+UMSCHALT.
Once you'll press the (additional) CAPSLOCK/FESTSTELL key, the key combos alias will toogle from German to English and vice versa.
And btw. the ToolTip appears :shock:.
I guess the Start-Button has been triggered also that way, by mistake.

STRG+ALT+UMSCHALT

...
The closest thing to German I came to after school was the new album from Rammstein :lol: Anyway I've added the translations to the list so you'll see them in the next release. I aim to finish the module for Control commands as well, although I have really limited CST so I don't know how long it will take.
