I am a portableapps.com user. I wanted to get AutoHotkey onto the start menu and started work on it, only to find that someone else was much further along the path already.

The portable apps UI and install system is a nice way to present and use apps on a usb stick, and also helps to give programs such as AutoHotkey exposure to the wider community. If you are interested the developer is looking for beta testers.

That's strange. I've been using AHK as a portable application for a while on my USB flash drive, with no problem. To run script, I just run a batch file that looks like:

this is really great, i will definitely install it in the future, just don't have a need for it on my USB at the moment.

I've never actually tried the portableapps suite (or whatever it's called). I just download individual programs from there. Somebody should tell them that their splash screen needs a makeover (or an option to remove).

autohotkey is already portable, there is no meaning of building a portableapps build.

agreed, autohotkey is a portable app without being a portableapps app. I think that having autohotkey on the portable apps site would give the program even more exposure and attract more good developers.

And I like the portable apps UI

Have you try dragging the script to AutoHotkey.exe?

No, I have not enabled drag and drop for any of my copies. What is your point?
