AutoHotkey Community

I have not added a version number just yet. I am very close to releasing the source and exchanging the old version for this one and I will have normal updates with version numbers and updates inside the program.

I know it may not look like much has been done, but I had to re-write a good portion of the code. New Source

New Features:
All settings are saved to XML now.
Colors are a bit more customizable.
Source code is available. (keep in mind that there may be some colorful language)
Working on updating the context sensitive help so that it can be easily updated.

As always tips, suggestions, help is always welcome. I will be releasing updated information as I can.

Update:

Basic upload functionality working.

For some reason when I select the debug option it gives an error. Any reason why?

Also, is the empty space below the menu supposed to contain a toolbar? Or is there another purpose for it?

1) yes. I have not ported the code over yet. I am working on it but a friend called and wanted me to root his phone for him, and another friend wanted me to stop by and we went out to eat.

2) Actually the space below the menu bar is supposed to be a tab control. The open programs in the xml <lastopen><file> should be a | delimited list of the last opened files. Sometimes the list starts with a | and it kills the tab control. I will work on that.

Thanks for the bug reports I will do what I can to correct them.

Update: 01:51EST 2/25/2012

Debug has been re-added.
Basic uploading is working but it does not ask for your version information yet. I will be adding that soon.
Hopefully bug #2 reported by Uberi has been cleared up as well. I will work on clearing this up a bit better in future releases.
Re-added Highlight Matching Brace
Added: When entering a "(" it will search in that line for a matching set of (). If one is found it will add it after the matching set otherwise it will just add a ")" immediately after it.

Update: 3:17EST 2/26/2012

Smart parentheses: should work better.
Simple brace: Inserts a } right after you enter a {
Create matching brace: The program attempts to find the matching area of the program to insert the } after {

Sorry it has been a couple days. I had a 24 hour bug and several requests for my time. Anyway, here is my Latest Beta

It has everything that is in the post above plus folding (remembers fold points between sessions).

If there is a feature that you want me to work on that is not available yet in the menus let me know. I want it to be ready for full release soon but I do not want it to be less featured than the last.

Variables system working. You can add custom variables to each individual script so that you do not have to keep typing "my_custom_long_variable" every time you want to put it into your script. It will now come up with the list of commands when you start typing it. Just Select Window/Variables and add whatever you like.

Latest Beta

Added:
Close files (I know it should have been there a while ago, but I wanted to get other things in first)
Variables system is more stable.
Remove Current Segment is now available.
Drag/Drop opening files

Replacement Text

for some reason I can not log in from my computer but I can upload. latest version fixed highlight of context sensitive help. and some other fixes.

I've just noticed something strange...

The .ahk file you've linked to is resulting in a 404 FILE NOT FOUND error. It seems that case sensitivity is an issue. Lowercase is invalid, while uppercase works perfectly. Anyone else find this to be odd? Why should the case matter?

Works:

Doesn't Work (404):
http://www.autohotkey.net/~maestrith/script%20writer/script%20writer.ahk

Thank you so much! I forgot that I was getting ready to move this file over to the main directory and it is capitol....


Latest Version

Thanks TheDewd! I will be adding the auto download and everything to it soon.

Please give me some time to iron out the bugs. I am sure that there is something that I have missed so please let me know what it is and I will do my best to iron it out.

Latest version

I will be working on getting the plugins back into the script but I first need to make sure that they are compatible with the new structure. I am also going to be doing my best to integrate my Basic GUI Creator into the program as well. There is quite a bit of code that I will probably have to change to make it work so please be patient. Thanks again for trying this out and any help (bug reports, feature suggestions, a hello) feel free to send them to me here, PM, or to scriptwriter@maestrith.com. I will do my best to reply as quickly as I can.

I have run out of ideas. If anyone has an idea on how to make the project better in any way, either with code or just a suggestion on an addition, please feel free to send me a message or post it here. Thank you to everyone who uses this program. I just want to make Autohotkey a little easier for everyone and if anything that I have done here or with any of my other programs has made it easier for you to create then I have accomplished what I set out to do. I have never required, nor do I intend to start, that you give me a mention if you use my code (it would be nice though but if I gave you a different way to think about a project that you are working on, just send me a message. I like knowing that I have made a difference in someones life for the better.
