AutoHotkey Community

Version 1.0.20 removed the AutoHotKey Branding:

"Version info (which can be seen in Explorer's file-properties dialog) is now omitted from compiled scripts. This change reflects the fact that scripts are owned by their authors and thus should have as little AutoHotkey association and branding as possible. An author can add custom version info by using a free utility such as ResHacker."

I downloaded ResHacker and tried to add Version Info, However I had no luck.

Even if I Open my.exe File with ResHacker and save it without changing anything, I receive an Illegal Operation Message.

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks In Advance

You should have a .bin file in one of the folders. RESHACK that

Sorry for the misleading entry in the changelog. I thought ResHacker could easily add a version resource, but it doesn't seem so. Even editing an existing script's version resource with ResHacker seems to damage the target EXE file (probably because it's compressed with UPX).

Thanks Chris

I've updated the installer with this change. I've tested it with ResHacker and it seems okay.

Instructions: To customize the version info of your compiled scripts, use a utility such as Resource Hacker (freeware) to edit the AutoHotkeySC.bin file. Note that ResHacker will corrupt compiled scripts, which is why only the AutoHotkeySC.bin file should be edited.

The AutoHotkeySC.bin file has a bunch of icons in it. Can you list the purposes for them somewhere? Also, if I just delete a few of them, will it cause errors?

This seems like an even better way to have custom icons, especially if I all my programs use the same ones.

This also makes me wonder if an option to overwrite or keep the existing BIN file could be added to the installer. I don't know a lot about programming. Maybe it's a bad idea.
