AutoHotkey Community

Hi,

I'm using autohotkey to start command shell, and I've noticed that after I update PATH the shell doesn't pick up the changes. Investigation led me here:

http://serverfault.com/questions/8855/h ... -rebooting

and indeed, after I restarted autohotkey, new shells do pick up the changed PATH. If the comment about WM_SETTINGCHANGE is true, I think it would be a great idea to use it.

PS: I'd submit a patch myself if I could find the source. Is there any way one could participate, a github tree or something? Thanks!

Yes there is a repository here https://github.com/Lexikos/AutoHotkey_L

Automatically updating environment variables may cause unintended behaviour with existing or new scripts, especially with scripts that modify their own environment variables. Your scripts can react to WM_SETTINGCHANGE by using the OnMessage function, if necessary.
