Thanks for the input, now I guess I shouldn't put a lot of effort on #1, atleast for now.

That's democracy in this forum these days - very few voices (exactly 2) trigger big decisions ... ;-)

You might have a look at Jeeboo - which seems also to be written in AHK. I personally like this design (big icons ...). But it seems to be at an dead end ...

1. Why closed source - whatever part of it?
2. Which AHK version is/will it be written in?
3. Will it have Win9x support if answer #2 is "Basic"?

As for your poll, if I were to use this app I'd need both #1 and #2. But then again, I'm using Total Commander too, with a bunch of plug-ins that do about everything but french fries.

P.S. If you're gonna use AHK_L for this, maybe it'd be best for a mod to move this topic to the dedicated section.

I know.. but that's all the data I had to go by! Anyways, we can ofcourse add that feature a little down the line.

I didn't know about Jeeboo, it definitely looks great, though it looks like its at its beginner stages right now.

1. So that (atleast initially) nobody says to me "Rajat, you big dummy, is that how you code?!"
2. I'm writing it in AHK_L, but not sure if I've used anything that will break it if run on basic version.
3. I probably used some 'XP and above' commands in the code. Sorry

Nevertheless - it works great and very relyable for me now. (I only use fixed keywords lists ... no parsing for exe or something like this. And I use it in a productive environment as my main tool ...).
You might have seen, that it seems to be a stillborn child since the developer does not show any response since more tha 6 month now...

The outcome is more important than the coding manner, in my humble opinion. Anyway, it looks like I'll have to build my own - dunno if this life will be enough for all projects I started or have in mind.
Thanks for replying.

haha... i guess i am getting a knack for making your life tougher. But let me clean up the mess I'm making these days.. then I'll open it up.

[Drugwash]

Nah, no worries... I'm used to a tough life already. And there's too much on my plate to start delving into this one right now. So take your time, don't mind me buzzing around.

P.S. Am I the only unfortunate human that has a hard time staying logged in when posting, changing topics, opening new topics in another tab, etc? This board has become a mess! I know one thing: if it ain't broken, don't fix it! And it wasn't broken. Darn!

Update on development. The added pics should explain better the current status.

[Uberi]

Looking great so far!

Can't wait .

[Rajat]

Thank you
The basic functionalities are almost done. I am working on making the plugin/extension platform more robust, but still rather easy to add to. And I am the worst guy at documenting my code, so I have to counter that too.

By the way, I always wonder... how do most people document their code? Right alongwith when they've had a great thing buzzing in their head and they just want to churn out the amazing function? ..Or is it when its complete and working well, then you write comments around it?
What works better?

[fragman]

I recommend writing in some short sentences of what the code is supposed to do before actually writing it. That way you already have some comments at the start and can also follow your concept better or modify it if required.

[Rajat]

hmmmm... That's truly good advice. I will try this from now on..

[Rajat]

As part of testing the plugin architecture, I quickly tried to create a Clipboard object + Clipboard actions plugin, and it was easy as candy
About 50 lines of borrowed code from tidbit's script made it quicker for me


By the way, can anyone also comment on whether this Light color scheme better or worse, compared to the Dark one?

[Uberi]

I love the light scheme, hope it becomes default.

[Rajat]

Thanks for the input, I'll probably make it default. And either way, even if full blown theming might not be part of initial releases, the switch between Dark and Light themes would be easy.
