AutoHotkey Community

I made Script Manager a program made in AutoHotKey for AutoHotKey to manage AutoHotKey Scripts.It uses mutiplie autohotkeys files. Like the exe2ahk,ahk2exe.It also comes with a uninstaller,Helpfile,and about 38 icons you can use for your program.If people like like the program I will continue to make furture versions. Please let me know if you like it.

This program is free you can download it from here

More info:
Script Manager basically is another way for editing AutoHotKey Scripts. Its like using notepad with extra build in features. In Version 1.0.0.0 You can Test any AutoHotKey script that you write in Script Manager's Editbox before you save it.What this mean is before you save or overwrite your original saved script you can push the "Test ahk" Button and it will create a script with what ever you typed into the Editbox and Run it. The "Test ahk" Button will then become the "Close ahk"Button until you press the press the X button on the program that is running or you press the "Close ahk"Button on the "Script Manager" window.

2.Script Manager comes preloaded with most of AutoHotKeys commands. Example Sleep,MsgBox,WinWait and So on.The commands will be displayed in a ComboBox in ABC order currently you can do 2 things with this. 1 you can copy one of the commands to windows clip board. 2.You can select the command you want and push a button Named "Get Command Help" and it will open AutoHotKey's Help File and Automatically type in the selected command that you picked into the helpfile's index area and bring up the help page of the select command.

3.Script Manager have a Options TAB where you can change the way Script manager works currently in version 1.0.0.0 there are only 4 options. 1. Make the Script manager window a liitle transparent where you can see what ever is behind it. 2.The option to use or not use word wrap when you are typing your program in the editbox. 3. The option to Automatically Add the current date and time of your Computer clock to the Script you save. 4.The option to turn off the display of the current File Version of Script Manager that you are using.When you Start Script Manager it displays what version of it you are using.

4.Script Manager also have a Compile-DeCompile TAB. This is were you can Compile your AutoHotKeys Scritps into Exe's that can run on any computer.You can also Decompile them back in to Where you can edit them. Script Manager Version 1.0.0.0 uses the exe2ahk and ahk2exe files to complete these operations. Script Manager has its on interface where you can enter a password to add to the script you are compiling if you want.And it also have a place where you can pick the icon you want to use for your compiled script.It also comes with 38 icons you can choose from.Some of them are AutoHotKeys icons with a different color instead of the defualt green H.You can also choose to use the defualt ahk2exe compiler.When you select the option ahk2Exe and pust the "Start"Button it will first ask you which Interface will you like to use. The two are "Script Manager" or Autoit-AutoHotKeys Defualt one.If you choose to use Script Manager's Interface that means what ever password you type into the password box of Script Manager will be the password it uses to add into your compile script. The Icon you select on the Script Manager window will be the icon it uses for your compiled Script. Next. If you selete the exe2ahk option it when you press the "Start" button. It will ask you what exe file will you like to decompile when you select the file it will decompile it into the same folder.At first i was going to have the option to save the UnCompiled script to a place of your choose but I ran into to many bugs so I removed that option until I can find out how to get it working correctly. If the compiled script is password protected all you have to do is enter the password into the password box on the Script manager window.And you also have the option to save the password so that when ever you start Script manager it will have that password Automatically typed in.

This Program comes with:
the exe2ahk file
A helpfile for script manager
A uninstaller
the 38 icons

Script Manager was made in AutohotKey
The Installer for script manager was made in AutohotKeywas made in AutohotKey

The UnInstaller for script manager was made in AutohotKeywas made in AutohotKey

The helpFile for script manager was made using Microsoft's HTML Help Workshop

I did not make icons either but I add different colors to some of them.

Although I haven't tried it yet, it sounds very useful. Thanks for sharing it.

I fixed the the shortcuts problem just redownload it and inistall

or
The program is located in [ Program Files\AHKSEDIT\SMAHK.exe ]

The Script Manager program speed has been fixed. When you download the program it will run more smoother now.Please Reply back about what you think of the program.

Could you give some more details, what exactly your program does, how and why? Maybe, with screen shots. Installing a program takes time and if we don't know what it really does most of us don't take the effort, and risks caused by possible bugs.

(Note from moderator: The new description has been moved to the first post in this topic).

Ok I think i said everything I hope that helps.
I have been using AutoHotKey for about a year and a half or a little longer. I am not a professional at it but I try

My Email is mtfurious@hotmail.com
Contact me if you have any suggentions or see any bugs with Script Manager

It should be possible to resize the tool. The shown edit-window is to small for my feeling.
If you do not choose any command and search for help the annoying messagebox occurs, that help-file is not found. Maybe you could check if user search for a correct command.
You are always writing defualt instead auf default

It was a bit strange to see the tool always reloading on changing (saving) the settings. The supported settings wouldn't be difficult to get into the running system...
Especially the windowposition is always lost when changing the settings. (And the window moves visible over the desktop)

The general idea is very good (didn't check if syntax-highlighting is also supported, which would be great), but in some cases there are improvements possible.

I will read this thread with interrest, because it sounds good. Maybe you should add the ahk-source to zip-file, because little comments would help me to read the actual code. Next week I am at holliday, if you want I will have a look over sourcecode and tell you some improvement from my sight of view (I am also still beginner, but I wrote some scripts with over 6k lines of code, so I do have some tipps for beginners, but not the real expert-tipps).

Have a good night and many ideas and success for your script!

Thalon, with bad english as ever

Hello everyone in the new version there will be some add features and fix any bugs that were found in version 1.0.0.0 I have not tought of all the features i am going to add to the new of script Manager version 1.0.1.0 One of the updates will be changing the program size where you will be able to write your scripts in a bigger window size of your choose.

Script Manager version 1.0.1.0 is on the way. It will come with a big improvement over version1.0.0.0 The I should release the new version by Oct 30 or a little earlier. one of the biggest new features is that you can now resize the Programs window or It can be auto resized. Also added so far is now you can change the back ground color into any color you want. There are a lot more features also but Ill wait until release time to share that info. I have to make sure the new features will be as Bug free as possible.

I moved the above post here because new topics generally should not be created scripts that already have one. This is because it clutters the forum, making it harder for visitors to find a particular topic.

Thanks for understanding.

Here are my things which could be improved:

1) Installer:
I always like to know where programms are installed! In this case I had to search it (also with unknown name!).
Is it that hard to place it at a custom place? Otherwise I would prefer to have a simple zip-file to have more access about the install-actions...

2) The programm starts with the string #AllowSameLineComments in the DropDown (which is too small to hold hole text). If I press 'Get Command Example' I get following message-box:
I have it installed in C:\Program Files\AutoHotkey. There is a 'has to be' in messagebox. Wouldn't it be better to read registry for install-information? Would make the script more flexible!
Also Uppercase and Lowercase could be improved


3) After this I press Test AHK (For the Default msgbox-example)
Test AHK also doesn't after creating a file and also not after opening (all testet with the hello-world-example!)

4) After pressing Test AHK (and getting error-message) the button disappeared in GUI!

5) Pressing 'Enable Wordwrap' or 'Disable Wordwrap' results in and restarting programm.

6) View Settings:
If I choose other view-setting then normal I do not have any access about the gui-buttons any more (because not visible any more). It isn't a big problem, but a bit strange: I have more place, but less control.
Changing View to normal size results in restarting the programm! This is also a strange handling! (this is done always, also if already in normal size!)

7) If I open help (via menu) the first page I see 'The page can't be displayed'!!

It is strange, that the option 'Use Word Wrap' is immediately overtaken while all others have to be applied.
When I apply settings I get the following messagebox:


9) I am also not able to compile scripts:
But I do have all needed files in: "C:\Program Files\AutoHotkey" (path was copied from registry, which is correct)


In general it would be fine to apply changes without having the whole program restarting! It is unnecessary and needs some time...

Is it (one of) your first script(s)?

There have to be some extended tests and you should improve some main-parts of the script (like changing options). In this form it isn't attractive for me...

But head up! I like the idea and it's options, only the routines could be improved!

I don't know why Script Manager can not detect AutoHotKey on your computer. I alaways use %A_ProgramFiles%\ insted of C:\Program Files. The reason the program restart on Word Wrap is because it updates the editbox to or not to use Word Wrap. 3 Did you read the Help File. 4. This is like my 100 ed something Script.
