I know this has come up before, but I just wanted to add my two-devaluated-U.S.-cents worth.

I think it would be nice to be able to turn off the compiler's UPX compression from the GUI rather than having to rename upx.exe to disable it. A reasonable place for this would be an "off" option in the compiler's "Compression" menu. And if you add a command-line option for this as well, I will give you my first-born kitten.

(In case you're wondering, the UPX issue recently bit me with an update to my anti-virus software -- documented here.)

Add a "compile no UPX" option to shell menu:
Code:
; Modified by [VxE] from code by Yek-Toho-Tua, bragging rights reserved.
Pth := SubStr( A_AHKPath, 1, -14 )
FileCopyDir, %Pth%Compiler, %Pth%Compiler_noUPX
FileDelete, %Pth%Compiler_noUPX\upx.exe
RegWrite, REG_SZ, HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, AutoHotkeyScript\Shell\Compile_noUPX\, , Compile (No UPX)
RegWrite, REG_SZ, HKCR, AutoHotkeyScript\Shell\Compile_noUPX\Command, , "%Pth%Compiler_noUPX\Ahk2Exe.exe" /in "`%l"


I think I'm just going to start pasting this in every "zomg some AV sez AHk is virus LuLZ!" thread I see.

VxE,

Nice tweak. But you sorta reinforce my point: if the issue comes up often enough, why not make the solution part of the UI?
