AutoHotkey Community

[JDN]

I uploaded about 35 of my favorite freeware packages. Most of them are utilities. You can download almost all of them from the AutoHotkey network where I uploaded them.

I hope you will take a look at the list of these packages. There is a link at the bottom of this post.

As as the very large files go, I didn't want to store them on AutoHotkey.net, so I put links to their own home pages so you can go there and download them. You can find the list in the following link:

i personally feel that is abusing autohotkey.net

You certainly have the right to express your opinion.

You did see that I said I refrained from uploading the very large packages? I figured it would be best to only use a small amount of space.

But, please tell me what do you consider to be an appropriate use of AutoHotkey.net if it's not to upload things that can be shared with the other members?

I'm not sure if you are correct or not. I'd like to hear from Titan on the subject.

If he feels there is any problem, believe me, it will be no trouble to remove it all in just a few seconds.

I spent some time working with Firefox and seem to be doing OK now.

It did screw up my Favorites menu somehow it listed one of my lower level menus on the main level. But that is not a big problem.

So far, it sure is a lot more convenient than IExplorer. I'll have to do some more work with it to come to a final opinion though. Thanks very much for your comments.

This one is really nice. Although, it's a 16bit application so it's sometimes a bit flaky in XP. Works fine in the 9X series though. I wish someone would take the source for this one and make it 32bit compliant. The author originally had plans for this, but for some reason changed his mind. Lack of time I think.

a great idea/topic

knowing about excellent softwares is the most important for any serious pc user/programmer

but forums are maybe not the best way to define infs about it

forums are good for interacting and exchanging infs
but not so good for define infs

some structured site might be better for this (like wiki)

so it'd be possible to structure/group infs
and to compare advantages/disadvantages

such infs would be much more usefull
and help you to choose right/best software for your needs
