Neat, I think imgur and github.[com|io] are at the top of my list haha

Yeah those two (three) seem reasonable. Maybe start with that and if people later ask to whitelist some other image host decide that case by case.

Do you remember which exact key up/down sequence was the trouble? Is it that you typed slow and had a finger lingering on the control home row mod longer than necessary and triggered a (assuming ⎈=d) ⎈↓ l🡙 ⎈↑ while typing dl (which during regular typing would release d before releasing l ? One pote...

Thanks for your work on this. Haven't tried it yet but I'm interested in using a AutoHotkey implementation of home row mods. Another software implementation is Kmonad https://github.com/kmonad/kmonad . Then there are custom keyboards with the QMK firmware of course. With all other home row mods alte...

Thank you. A bit related to the SplitPath wish here and SplitPathObj() example function there https://www.autohotkey.com/boards/viewtopic.php?p=488898 and the .SplitPath() method of Descolada's String.ahk library https://www.autohotkey.com/boards/viewtopic.php?t=108272 Its been years but from memory...

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AutoHotkeyScript\ShellEx\DropHandler] @="{86C86720-42A0-1069-A2E8-08002B30309D}" That's the same drophandler that causes dropped files to become 8.3 short filepaths in A_Args on the PC I tested. I don't know why the same thing doesn't happen on your PC. And yes I still have pytho...

Python developers implemented their own drophandler for Windows https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42818369/python-drag-and-drop-broken#comment72845379_42869472 {86C86720-42A0-1069-A2E8-08002B30309D} is the standard EXE drop handler that we used to use. It has problems with Unicode filepaths, so St...

If dropped files become filepaths with 8.3 short filenames or not depends, I think, on the drophandler rather than on the Windows Long Paths settings. The drophandler {86C86720-42A0-1069-A2E8-08002B30309D} ( CLSID_ExeDropTarget ) seems to convert paths with spaces or unicode characters into 8.3 shor...

Marium0505, yeah that could be a middle way. I hope there is some phpBB plugins or code snippet to block the [img] tag. That can whitelist [img] tags for the imgur.com domain. And apply only to post creation or edits at times after the code is enabled, to avoid breaking older posts that hotlink. Mor...

I see that you also hotlink images in your signature

though to the old ahkscript domain

neogna2

I noticed a user was hotlinking an image in their signature. That means anyone viewing any of the user's posts connects to a third party site to download that image. That is a possible means of tracking users on the forum. To prevent that I suggest removing the ability to hotlink images in signature...

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/timezoneapi/ns-timezoneapi-time_zone_information#members says that member "StandardDate" is "A SYSTEMTIME structure that contains a date and local time when the transition from daylight saving time to standard time occurs on this operating system" ...

One type of objection to the Try() wish would be to ask for use cases and for each use case suggest either an existing better way to do it or a better wish. For the Try(ControlGetText) use case an alternative wish could be for a ControlExist function that returns 0 if the target control isn't found....

neogna2

Use WindowSpy to examine if the window has any other distinguishing features that can be used with WinActive . ahk_class? Visible text (for the parameter WinText)? You could also try ControlGetText or similar commands to check if the active window has certain controls. For that you may also need to ...

Thank you teadrinker I suggest renaming the thread title "class AsyncStdoutReader: Asynchronous non-blocking stdout reading" to make it easier to find through forum search. For context some links to previous functions and discussions of issues with them that teadrinker's class attempts to overcome S...

Thanks for describing the general case for Try Catch and for suggestions. The nice-try link was fascinating. I suppose this kind of wish/discussion crops up in many languages. Try Catch is often useful and Lexikos makes many wise design decisions. v2 throws more errors than v1, a difference that mad...

Wish: Try(expression) with no catch block. Instead return 1 if the expression executed without error and return 0 on error. Benefits: shorten code and use Try() with precision on steps inside larger expressions. Current code where we want to proceed on non-error but have no need for catch Try a catc...

Helpful comment, thanks, I've updated my text above based on it.

I think FileCopy preserves the Modified timestamp but updates the Created timestamp to the time of the copying. As a workaround write a function that reads the original Created timestamp, copies the file and sets the Created timestamp. https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/v2/lib/FileGetTime.htm https://w...

I don't know any easy way. A messy, imperfect way is to inside the function create an error object e := Error() , read its script line LineNum := e.Line , read the script source (assuming it is uncompiled) Source := FileRead(A_ScriptFullPath) and parse the source text to find the first instance of W...
