Re: AHK Studio
Hello, folks,
Converting AHK-Studio.ahk into AHK-Studio.exe. Error occurs with recent versions.
I had a question about converting AHK Studio into an executable. Previous versions, I would just compile the ahk script to convert it into an executable. But, now a compiling error appears which I have no idea what it means because I am a newb programmer.
Why do I want an executable when I can simply double-click AHK-Studio.ahk?
I would like to make AHK studio into an executable so that I can add it to my program launcher, KeyPirinha. KeyPirinha only launches EXE files located in the start menu.
Now, if I want to launch AHK studio, I have to look it up via my search engine and then double-click it. Easy, right? Instead, I always launch KeyPirinha, my launcher, start typing ahk..., then stop as I remember that KeyPirinha won't work, click out, start my search engine... You get the idea. I can't stop myself from always first launching KeyPirinha.
Can someone tell me how to convert AHK-Studio into an executable? Also, if you can explain how you did it, it would be great because then I can do it myself with future versions of AHK-Studio. Perhaps, the developer can just include an EXE form of AHK-Studio?
Changing the Title of this Very Well-Programmed Editor
I know that this will first come to a shock to the developer of AHK Studio and he might feel insulted. Please don't. I would like to respectfully propose that you slightly alter the title of the script. Why? Well, I use AHK Studio a lot but it's not really a studio. Saying studio suggests that the entire environment is used to edit everything. I keep forgetting the name, AHK Studio because I'm stupid. I agree that names should be unique so when you search for them, you won't get a million hits. Studio is indeed a unique word. File Changer, for example, would be the worst. Wait, The File would be the worst.
I actually changed the name of your program to AHK Studio Editor on my computer but it's a pain because errors occur and I have to change so many files when a new version comes out. Can you change the name to something unique but more apropos? Maybe like Magical AHK Editor? Ok, that's lame but I'm sure people here can think of better names.

Re: AHK Studio
You could write a small script that just starts the editor as a script. Then you can compile this starter script. So you can find/use it in your program.
And this small script can have a name of your liking so you can find it better.

Re: AHK Studio
AHK Studio "Should" compile itself. Alt+M Compile AHK Studio.

Re: AHK Studio
I just tried compiling Studio, Alt+M Compile AHK Studio{Enter} and it worked. I'm not too sure what's going on with your version ![Sad :(](./images/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif)

Re: AHK Studio
Hi, maestrith
These characters (ç é ã ô ) are not being displayed correctly on the DebugWindow().
Is there a way to fix it?

Updated. Should now work. Thanks for the report!

Re: AHK Studio
Maestrith,
I finally figured out why it wouldn’t compile. I was using Alt-M as a hotkey for something else so that interfered with the compile process for ahk-studio. (I think there is an authokey script floating around that suggests using Alt+M as a hotkey to insert mathematical symbols.) Strangely, I don't think it interfered when I compiled other scripts but I may be wrong. (I have already changed my hotkey.)
Don't worry about it. It's not a big deal. Thanks for your help! Appreciate it!

Re: AHK Studio
Haha....you're quick on the quips. Good one.
By the way, are you a programmer in terms of work? You must like to make pretty and practical things. Anything else you are working on that you'd like to share and that's interesting?
I actually would love to program new stuff but I have almost zero experience as a programmer. There are so much stuff I think that tech is missing. So many good ideas that aren't being made. Instead we get sites like Jet.com that was terrible and bought out for 3 billion. Totally don't understand.

Re: AHK Studio
Currently I guess I am technically a programmer. When I started in 2005 I was not. AHK is the first, and until recently only, language that I took the time to learn. I still don't know everything and am constantly learning. Keep at it and you will be able to solve any problem you might have!BannerStore wrote: ↑03 Jul 2020, 08:18Haha....you're quick on the quips.

Re: AHK Studio
So, you make AHK programs for work! I didn’t realize you could do that. Good luck!
For me, I realize that I'm going to stop learning AHK intensively. It's so much work and effort to figure out the smallest things. If I was at school and I could take courses, I would definitely learn but learning here and there is too difficult for me since I don't use it that often. eg. I'll try to make a program 2 weeks later and I'll have forgotten all the basic functions and syntax already so I have to relearn it. Then, it takes me a few hours a day for a week to make a very, small program. It's A LOT more efficient if I just pay someone and not deal with the aggravation even though I like the mathematical precision and logic of programming.
If you are ever up for wanting to build or discuss a new language, OS, productivity saver, etc, let me know. I'm trying to form a group of people who wants to do it for fun. And, if you know of any sites where I can find people who are interested in stuff like this, please let me know. Thanks again.

AHK-Studio.exe produces an error.
Oops...I did it again. I'm not that innocent.
The last time, I had tried to compile AHK-Studio.ahk to create AHK-Studio.exe and an error dialog appeared.
This time, an error dialog appeared when I executed AHK-Studio.exe. I have attached a picture of the error dialog.
*In case people don't remember, I have to use AHK-Studio.exe to use AHK-Studio because my program launcher (KeyPirinha) only recognizes EXE files.
