AutoHotkey Community

Hello, I've been having a problem getting a certain program to work properly.

I use a program called PopSel by Horst as a simple program launcher.

I use
#MButton::Run C:\Program Files\PortableApps\popsel\PopSel.exe
in order to get it to run with a win-middle click.

Here's the problem—the hotkey works alright, but for some reason, I'm unable to access text files in the popsel directory. (it has a function to access text files within its directory)

If I just open the executable in its folder, or use a windows shortcut, it works fine and I'm able to access text files. However, it only works for autohotkey IF the script is in the popsel directory. I like to keep all of my hotkeys in one script, but when I try to launch it outside the popsel directory, autohotkey doesn't seem to "find" the text files.

There must be a simple line of code I'm missing. Any ideas?

Well, I've found a quick solution actually.

Although I can't launch the executable directly, for some reason everything works peachy if I launch a windows link to the executable.

ie. #MButton::Run C:\Documents and Settings\Vic\desktop\PopSel.lnk

Works for me.

If that is the case, the following would work:

Thanks a lot! More convenient than my shortcut approach. I'll remember that tip.
