Is there any way to set the modified date/time of a symlink to a file using FileSetTime (or any other function for that matter)? To be clear, I'm trying to change the date modified of the symbolic link itself - not the target file. If this isn't possible, is there some way to set the date modified a...

mmmax

I simplified the script quite a bit, added checking for the selections being a file or folder, and make the symlink a junction for folders. Also added a check that the destination folder for created symlinks exists, and create it if not. Here's the final script to create symbolic links from any sele...

If I'm understanding correctly what you are wanting to do with seeing your command in the cmd.exe window, couldn't you just echo your command to a cmd.exe, append "&&" cmd.exe /k to that, and then run your command? It won't win any style points from the judges, but something like this: Run %Comspec...

Try: #Requires AutoHotkey v2.0 PID := 0 Run(A_ComSpec, A_Desktop, , &PID) WinWaitActive("ahk_pid " PID) ; Send 'mklink ' args.value ' "c:\users\myusername\desktop\' copiedfilename '" "' fullpathtofile'"`n' Send 'Dir C:`n' MsgBox() ExitApp It seems to work on Win 10. I understand the concept of usin...

First off, I solved the main problem with the syntax of the mklink command ( #solution ). However, I would still really like to know how to get the cmd prompt window to show the commands sent from ahk instead of just the result of the command running . Using /k still only shows the following: Juncti...

I only see the following when using /k, without the command passed to the cmd.exe: The syntax of the command is incorrect. Creates a symbolic link. MKLINK [[/D] | [/H] | [/J]] Link Target /D Creates a directory symbolic link. Default is a file symbolic link. /H Creates a hard link instead of a symbo...

I'm trying to get the cmd window to display with the input it receives so I can see why this isn't working.

Hallo, here this works: #Requires AutoHotkey v2.0 $^#!t:: { FileAppend "Text" , "File'name'" ;the filename has ' symbols in it A_ClipBoard := "File'name'" Timestamp := FileGetTime(A_Clipboard , "M") MsgBox(Timestamp) } Interesting. I've never used FileAppend like that before. I'll try this solution...

mmmax

Not at my PC now. But the only other symbols I can think of that might've caused an issue were commas and hyphens, which were both also in the filename. I tried RegexReplace to add the ` escape for all of the aforementioned characters and assigning that path to a new variable. Still the same error. ...

Every time I try this, or parsing and using A_Loopfield in place of A_Clipboard in the FileGetTime argument: $^#!t:: { send("^c") ClipWait(1) ;waits for the clipboard to have content Timestamp := FileGetTime(A_Clipboard , "M") MsgBox(Timestamp) } If the filename has any ' symbols in it, I get this e...

I'm using an Apple USB keyboard with my PC (can't beat the feel of the keys, even with other "flat" PC keyboards I've tried). I've remapped the Windows and Alt keys as follows: #HotIf !WinActive("MacBook") LWin::LAlt LAlt::LWin RWin::RAlt RAlt::RWin #HotIf This seems to work fine/as expected when us...

@mmmax Were you able to get this to work? Mind sharing your final code?

Yes. The code in my previous post is what I'm using now.

The help file doesn't really address this, so I have to ask: will winhide prevent windows from showing up in the alt+tab switcher or Windows task view so that, as far as the user can tell, the window is gone?

mmmax

Not sure why this happens, if it might just be unique to my setup, or if this is a known issue. But googling for a solution failed, so here goes. I generally use the thumb buttons on my mouse to navigate forward and back in pretty much every application, and have ank script to support this as needed...

#HotIf WinExist(hWnd) F4::WinActivate(), Send('!{F4}') #HotIf Ah yes... !{F4} ... so simple it's almost embarrassing that I didn't think of it. 😣🤦‍♂️ Well, now it's official: I really do need to get more sleep, instead of staying up all night tinkering with various passion projects and ahk scriptin...

I have tried numerous ways of closing the window that is opened by the ListHotkeys command. But so far, whether I do so by name, by ahk_id, uniqueID or PID, either with WinClose or WinKill, the AutoHotkey64.exe process that is running my ahk script is also killed. There must be some way to close the...

are you maybe talking about the StartTSCounter() function? I can see where I'm calling that from two different WM message functions, since sometimes the screensaver or system lock occurs independently. but even there, the first line of that function is: if not TSCounterRunning{ Maybe you could point...
