Thank you so much for your continuous work on AHK, Chris!

I'm too old to believe in Santa, however I got a couple wishes that hopefully would come true:
1. Keep AHK compatible with Win9x (I'll be using Win98SE or nothing at all)
2. Allow for scripts with spaces in their names to be launched (currently there's an error stating 'script does not exist')

So far my scripts run correctly with the new beta. Keep up the good work and good luck with all of your projects!

I have been given a helping hand in the mean time (thank you, corrupt!).

Since I had not installed AHK using the installer but only manually associated the .ahk files with the exe, the commandline for file opening missed the parameters.

Explorer > Tools > Folder Options > File Types (tab) --> AHK file --> Edit --> Actions > open > Edit. The field called "Application used to perform action:" should be "C:\Utils\AutoHotkey 1.0.47.06\AutoHotkey.exe" "%1" %* (path to the exe will vary according to AHK's location).

Thanks corrupt for the help and apologies for the inconvenience.

while testing the new beta, i stumbled upon this issue, which at least should be mentioned in the ahk help-file (i also think this is a buggy behaviour on direct text assignments in forced expressions and the smart comma handling, but at least mentioning it in the help file resulted to post it into wish-list instead of bug reports):
msgbox documentation update

additionally maybe a workaround as suggested by lexikos in this thread about trapping focus and rendering the gui unusable ([code-a-pit] a very annoying standard windows behaviour) can also be build in into the 1.0.48 release

besides i did not expirience any errors yet.

I just tested it with all of my scripts and everything worked great and ran faster!

1000 thanks for 1000 max hotkeys

I would like to ask a simple question – Would a file that is converted from .ahk to .exe also run faster by upgrading to the new Beta version pre-v1.0.48 or it would have no effect on compiled exe files in terms of speed?

Also if I were to upgrade to the Beta version pre-v1.0.48, must I rename the downloaded file as Autohotkey.exe or leave the filename as AutoHotkey-Pre-1.0.48-new2.exe

[Lexikos]

In order to compile a script with the beta, you would need an AutoHotkeySC.bin based on beta source code.

You do not need to rename the exe.

[Laszlo]

Lexikos, could you post such an AutoHotkeySC.bin? It would be very nice to provide the speedups to people, who don't have AHK installed.

[Lexikos]

Only Chris has the beta source code, afaik.

[Icarus]

Judging by the lack of bug reports for the beta, it may be safe to assume that official release is coming soon.

A question:

"To achieve full benefit we should avoid setformat."

If we use setformat the speed will be the same, slower or still a bit faster than before?
