Just a little question, why i cannot load my scripts when, i say ti windows open my ah files with this tool? There sit always a empty script *ggg*

You are correct. QuickAHK does not accept (or look for) a file name from the command line. I never even thought of adding this option until you mentioned it. I think the primary reason this option was not considered is because QuickAHK is not an editor.

QuickAHK is not an editor? Wha???

It is a bit confusing. QuickAHK looks like an editor. It even has editing features like copy, cut, paste, and syntax highlighting. But it's not an editor, at least not in the traditional sense. All editing and execution is done in an isolated workspace. Think of QuickAHK as an AutoHotkey scratchpad. I use it all the time to test short scripts that I write and as a place to run the scripts that I download from the AutoHotkey forum.

There are several ways to get external scripts into the QuickAHK workspace. This includes cut/paste, the "Copy From..." command, and you can drag a script file from Windows Explorer and drop it on the QuickAHK window. Theses commands do not open the actual script file. The content of the files are copied to the QuickAHK workspace. In addition, the "Save" command does not save to the original file. It only saves the current workspace. If you want to save the current workspace to a real file, use the "Save As..." command.

I hope this information is helpful. If you still think that the command line option should be added, make a noise.

Comments, contradictions, recommendations, etc., etc. are welcome.

thx you for the information, is a great tool anyway.

As I've mentioned many times, I'm a PSPad devotee but there are many excellent editors out there that do syntax highlighting for AutoHotkey scripts. This topic has been covered several times before. Here are just a couple:
