I don't know why this happened but when I changed ExitApp to Process, Close, Columbus.exe in the Exit command, Columbus closes immediately without any problems. Is the Uninstall command coming back any time soon? I really need it sometimes when I used a computer other than my own. Thanks.

fischgeek wrote:Nice work on the script. I like your UI style. One question/feature request though. Is there a way to add a folder to the list (like the current drag and drop feature), but also have all of that folder's contents added to the quick search too? I would love to add my autohotkey "playground" folder and be able to quickly search that without opening Windows Explorer.

Thanks again. Didn't think I was going to use it when I tried it out, but I find myself using it more and more.

Edit. I see this has already been requested. My only change is that you don't limit it to just .exe extensions but rather give the user the capability to include their own list of extensions or for the time being allow .ahk as well. If you're not up for it, can I get the source and maybe I can tweak it - the link on the front page only shows your update log, no source.

Thanks!

Run1e wrote:Also, the GuiDropFiles function isn't limited to just exe files, you can add anything you want. It's just that adding ahk files adds the AutoHotkey.exe file, not the ahk file itself.

FileSelectFolder, targetDir,,, Select a folder to add .ahk files to Columbus
if (ErrorLevel)
	ExitApp
Loop, %targetDir%\*.ahk,, 1
{
	if (A_LoopFileExt != "ahk")
		continue
	IniWrite, %A_LoopFileFullPath%, %A_AppData%\Columbus\items.ini, %A_LoopFileName%, dir
	IniWrite, C:\Program Files\AutoHotkey\Compiler\Ahk2Exe.exe, %A_AppData%\Columbus\items.ini, %A_LoopFileName%, icon
}

I'm not looking to keep track of libraries. I'm just looking for a quick way to launch my scripts; ones I don't use very often, but need on occasion. My implementation works for adding .ahk files to your launcher, and I've created a scanner to keep the ini up to date as well. This all works smoothly for me, just need it in the script -- Thanks for the source btw! I'll send you my implementation if you're interested.

I can add a shortcut. Verify that it is there. Next day when I restart my computer some of the recently added shortcuts are gone... not all, some

Any idea what that could be?

everything works fine (as before) until I close and restart .
then they are gone again...
