Very nice!
One thing is that the keys in toolbar.properties are inverted. "rows" should be "cols" and "cols" should be "rows".
Also, even when I set the number of rows ("cols" key) to 1, the toolbar still sticks out a little of the status bar height. Any way to keep it in the status bar only?

Edit: Also, the horizontal scrollbar doesn't properly represent the space needed to scroll. For example, it shows a lot of slack even though I don't have any lines going off screen.

Thanks a lot

I've been using the notepad++ until now but this thing is FANTASTIC
it can autocomplete the parameters while you're and all that
thanks I needed this.

suggestions
1. ability to insert the image, sounds within exe (yes I did try that ladiko's compilor but it gives me error)
2. ability to create colorful buttons in GUI

nice,

some ideas (not listed in priority):

-a regex sandbox
-multi language interface (for the current tools, scite etc)
-ahk compiler in portable mode (yes, it is possible)
-replace auspy with ahk window info 1.7
-replace the macro recorder with some better solution (maybe titan's one. a keylogger like, recorder with timings seems to lack)*
-a debug mode calling debugBIF() (in the fly without adding into the source, calling the debugger only over the test execution)
-a "stdlib" downloader like a pseudo package system (would require a good index)
-a wizard for some commands like imagesearch and running cli apps (that would be simple and would help a lot of new people)
-winapi+dllcall+struct related tools (skan's, heresy's, lexikos' etc. msdn is a must)
-possibility to add other programming languages in scite in a wizard or something (hey, I miss my default scintilla supported languages! also note scite is using lua and doesn't comes with a lua editing highlighter? wtf.)
-autohotkey.net connect through ftps and svn (portable tortoise!? <- lol its a joke)*
-source compare (diff, merger etc)*
-hex editor (okay, this is not very important)
-global settings saver (for saving current data in the tools fields)
-bundle monospaced font (come on, we all love monospaced fonts)
-hints and tips for some commands (not like an annoying assistant like the cliipper, but something useful for non experienced people)
-special chars sandbox (a fast visual tool to test asc, visualizing extended ansi etc)*
-a visual keyboard mapper (like osk, but only to visualize keys and or a interface to set remaps/add hotkeys. it could be a good VK/SC mapper too, you know, the ahk built-in one is sorta hidden from newbies eyes)*
-the possibility to add third party tools at the scite4autohotkey flying toolbar without much efforts (a config panel to manage the order and add more tools. Eg: winspector, spy++, winid etc.. we use them often! :)
-autohotkey.com announces window (gets the news from the site, obviously optional and should check how old is the news, could be handled by rss)
-autohotkey forum PM's lister (gets the new pm's received loggin in the forums and alerts user)
-autohotkey irc client (a very quick chat window for ask for help, discussion etc. well, the ansi mode could be easily handled with the tcp/ip functions)*
-a better integration with chm, possibility of fast queries over the "intellisense" like highlighter (autocomplete is not enough)*
-support for layout profiles (by example, winapi tools are shown by default in the advanced mode, the tips and hits a newbie mode etc)
-cursor list (a sandbox to setcursor, pre-visualize cur, ico. this is not very useful but it would help a lot some gui people)
-versioning system with backup (this is secondary but it would be very interesting, well it would be useless with svn support, but there are still many people offline)
-autohotkey.net pastebin manager (I wonder why its not there yet)
-words/commands/functions etc counter (woah, I thought scite had it)
-skan's custom gui editor for pseudo skins (as previously requested the image attacher, why not it too?)
... more coming soon

problems noticed in v2 final stable:

-it uses the launcher as reference to load other apps, so relative paths are ../ like. (very bad for a portable code, make it recognize autohotkey.exe path!)
-SmartGUI creator doesn't bundles with the manual.htm file
-the size of the toolbar background is big and white: covers horizontal scroll also is bad for other color layouts (oh thanks hezzu, didn't know it was possible, but hey, why default looks so ugly?)

*: important and lacks (good) solutions.

Hi k3ph ,

[genmce]

Very nice!
I like it very much.
Thank you!
FR - perhaps it is there already.
Is there a way to have two files up and open to compare.
Notepad ++ has a dialog on right click that lets you send to different pane.
And lock them so I can scroll down to see diffs.

Thanks alot

OK, I couldn't figure out any way of "permanently" inserting space between the existing toolbar and tabbar, but I've had success with SetParent. Here is an extract from my copy of toolbar.ahk:

Ok, thanks Lexikos for showing up in my thread , here are my responses:

[tank]

FYI, when I try to perform a web install I get an error message:

Can't download the file!
Make sure your Internet connection is active then
try to install the program again.

I took it's advice and tried again, rebooted, redownloaded install app, but still no go. Not sure what's up as there's nothing special about my PC's setup. It's Windows XP with one network connection and nothing else seems to have trouble. The web install worked fine on my Vista laptop.

I downloaded the data file independently and then ran an offline install and that worked so I'm good to go, but I thought I'd let you know.

Thanks for your efforts. Nicely done!
