Parameters and jump list

11 Jun 2021, 13:17

I have AutoHotkey pinned to my Win10 taskbar, and I have a shortcut on my desktop that successfully runs an AutoHotkey script with five parameters.

But when I drag the shortcut to the AutoHotkey taskbar icon and pin it to the jump list, the jump list entry shows up, but the parameters get stripped off. So the script runs when I click on the jump list entry, but (as expected) the result is what you get when you run that script without parameters.

Is there a way for a pinned AutoHotkey taskbar icon to have scripts with parameters on its jump list?

I think you can use something like Jumplist Extender, this JumpList library, or (more advanced) build something based on the Windows SDK sample. I haven't tested any of these.

I have collected all my shortcuts in a folder and show that folder in the taskbar (on the Right side). Maybe this might work for you too

You could also just create a script using #include or Run and pin that.

Thanks for the links. I'm an AutoHotkey n00b, and have been doing some further messing around over the past several days, partly in connection with the issue in my OP (not to mention partly just as a learning exercise), and just posted a follow-up report here: https://www.autohotkey.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=76&t=91722

Thanks for the suggestion. As it happens, I'm a big taskbar toolbar fan, and give them a shout-out in the above-linked post.
