AutoHotkey Community

Amun is a windows hiding program that allows the user to make rules based on hotkeys and hide specific windows with these hotkeys.

Amun allows total confidence in the privacy of your computer, as all chosen windows may be hidden at the press of a button.

I will answer any questions how anything is done, and please report any bugs you may find. Thanks!

The entirety of this program is written in AHK.

A big thank you go to Sean and tonne on the ahk forums for help with this.

Also special mention to Adam Mustill, Nick Kindrat, Hannah Babiker, Eleanor King and Richard Fong for beta testing.

Thanks to SoggyDog, Thalon and TotalBalance

Changelog:

v1.45 - Fixed bugs with hiding windows getting added to the hidden list. Fixed bug with number of windows not showing on tray tip. Fixed error message due to attempting to turn of hotkey that had not been previously set.

v1.44 - Completely rewritten source code. Target mode cursor has been changed. Application is now portable for usb disks

v1.39 - Fixed problem in installer where under some circumstances multiple gui may be present. Added the option to shut down old version if running in installer. Fix speed issue in main program, where windows will hide/show slowly if main window is open and mouse is hovered over it, due to wm_mousemove

v1.38 - Target mode would no longer work when the field was currently empty. Renaming from ctrl, alt, shift to ^!+ would be overwritten and give error when unchecking a rule. Fixed spelling mistake in help file.

v1.37 - Fixed problem where icon would not be shown if old icon location no longer exists. Improved icons

v1.36 - More visual improvements. Improved context menu on main listview and hidden listview. Improved icons. Updated help file. Added minimize to tray on startup. Improved speed and size of code. Removed toolwindow as there was a z-ordering bug that would send amun 1 back in the z-order when minimizing a window in front of it.

v1.32 - Added context menu to main listview and hidden listview. Fixed uninstaller, where some files will not be deleted. Fixed small bug, so [ and ] cannot be used in names as they ruin the ini format. Other small cosmetic changes.

v1.30 - Correctly informs user if an existing hotkey is present with same name as new one, and also gives the label of said hotkey.

v1.29 - Flickering should be prevented on a windows reappearing. Main window now says CTRL, ALT, SHIFT instead of ^,!,+ respectively for ease of use. Installer uses temp folder for less restrictive access rights. apparent startup of program should now be halved

v1.26 - Hiding windows from the hidden list updates the number of hidden windows as well. Number of hidden windows better handled for system tray hover. Removed sleep after hide/show as it appears unnecessary now. Improved appearance of splash screen on installer. Installer ads to windows add/remove programs list in control panel.

v1.25 - Added new List Hidden feature, allowing the user to view all currently hidden titles, and be able to show/close them individually. Added option to go into standalone Hidden List without main GUI from system tray. Updated help file. Added option to show all hidden windows on program exit. Small fixes with GUIs owning in installer. Small bug fix on hovername on system tray updating itself if unchanged on new version.

v1.23 - Main window restores better from tray. Show Number of hidden windows is enabled by default on first startup. Closing The about box handles correctly.

v1.22 - Fixed a large issue with Hide new windows not working correctly. Added an About giving credit. Added the ability to see how many windows are currently hidden on tray tip.Amun cannot hide itself now. Also added a complete help file!

v1.19 - Who would have though that one " in the wrong place would make such a diffference? That's what happens when you're in a rush to release. Now the desktop doesnt get hidden with every rule!

v1.18 - Made it so that if you select the desktop in target mode, or type Program Manager as a rule, then it will hide your icons on the desktop rather than the entire desktop. Fixed the antifreeze tooltip to not say enabled by default. Fixed minor bug where image of sys tray icon will not be shown in the options window. Also slightly altered icon for the installer/uninstaller so a difference can be made between the main program.

I always like seeing your work.. Always very professional.

It is a little more than disappointing that you never release any code, though.
It's kind of pompous... "Hey, look what I can do. Bet you'd like to know how I did it."

Further, you've asked for bug reports, so;

In Options, there is an 'Enable Anti-Freeze' checkbox that is NOT checked, but the tooltip for that checkbox says it's enabled by default.

Disappointed as I may be to never see code from you, keep the apps coming. They are very good.

Haha! I'm Sorry SoggyDog. I don't mean to come off that way. Ask about any sepcific feature and I would be very happy to give code how that part is done.



Ha. yeh. I had it enabled by default, but then decided that most people wouldn't need it by default so made it off by default ill change the tooltip accordingly. thank you very much

I'm still waiting to see your Installer/UnInstaller code from the last time.


Glad I could help.

Does anyone have Adam Mustill's e-mail address?

I haven't talked to the guy in years...my e-mail address is nurmotec_com@hotmail.com

Why?

it cant hide windows media player, it just opens another instance

I could not recreate this problem. I tried all versions of Windows Media Player. Download vesion 1.22 of Amun and let me know if you still have the same issues. I'm not sure how a second instance could have been opened.

Thanks for your comments.

latest version still opens another instance of windows media player,but i think i know why.

try using it in mask mode using the corporate mask,using it without a mask works fine.

im using windows media player 9.00.00.3250 spanish.

I installed vesion 11, and switched to skin mode. do you mean that after you hide it in skin mode, then make it reappear, then it brings back the main window and the skinned window? If so...then Amun is acting correctly as WIndows Media Player creates 2 windows, but just hides the main one. Upon showing the window again, Amun retrieves both.

Is this a request to change this behaviour, to only be able to filter out the second window (as this currently cant be done as they have the same name)?

Nice script! Why not show the source?

Don't capture me again!!

Thank you very much!

I am not showing the source as this script has requested and paid for and also has been widely used by others now. I am planning on selling this once it is out of beta phase, for a tiny tiny amount (and free for anyone that submits a bug report)

I am all for the AutoHotkey community however and as stated previosuly will give any single part of my code out if someone asks how a particular function has been achieved.

With effort, you can always extract the source from the exe. It is not very fun, though.

cheeky!
Surely no one would need the source if they have the program and I'm willing to say how any part was done
