Well, it looks like that wasn't enough to fix the shortcuts, unfortunately I made a huge mistake and forgot to set the workingdir in both the installer and in Add2StartMenu.exe. It's actually funny in a way, I spent so long testing everything but I was always running the program directly since I had...

NOTE: I made a minor mistake in the v5 EXE installer. The shortcut still points to imkira3Keys.exe, it should point to imkira3KeysLauncher.exe, but this can easily be fixed by running Add2StartMenu.exe or re-configuring your shortcuts manually

Nvm I updated the installer

Alright, good advice

imkira3

Ah, well I linked to it up above, but it's about 5000 lines lol

I did and fact, and yes it worked but communicating with the big script I'm working with is obviously more complicated. There's something going on in that script I'm not seeing, but if small-scale tests work at least that's a start

imkira3

I don't understand then, why would the small-scale test work, but when I send it to this script, it fails to detect the keypress.

Like I said, I'm manipulating 1.0, not 1.1
This version here: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AutoHotkey/AutoHotkey-v1.0_Builds/master/Builds/zip/AutoHotkey104805.zip
And I did test it ofc or I wouldn't have asked lol, it's not working

imkira3

Does it work when sending #NumPad1 to a v1 script though? Does v1 script even support SendLevel? Not v1.1, I'm manipulating old v1 code

imkira3

I tried that, it's not working:

Code: Select all

SendLevel 1
Send "#{NumPad1}"

imkira3

AutoHotkey seems to be configured to ignore hotkeys from other running AHK scripts, so if 1.ahk was meant to trigger something on ^1 and 2.ahk did this: Send "^{1}" it would not be detected. Now I find myself in a situation where I need to communicate with a v1 script that is much to complex to edit...

imkira3

Lol yeah I figured. Oh well, no matter. This is a cool code though, I can't wait to figure it out. Probably the quickest and most discreet bosskey script I have ever seen, and the fact you can send windows from one desktop to the other is pretty great

imkira3

Ever get the sense that a code is just too big to edit? I feel like I could edit a v2 code of any size, but this v1 code is giving me a headache, v2 is way easier to read. I have here a MASSIVE code I have been editing built on one of the original v1 releases. Not even 1.1, it's so old I had to use ...

Your script works great! I adapted it just a bit, this puts the shortcut directly on the Start Menu. No absolute paths are used ;) it's perfect target := A_ScriptDir '\PotPlayerPortable.exe' linkFile := A_AppData '\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\PotPlayerPortable.lnk' workingDir := '' args :=...

imkira3

Lol yes I will, thanks this sounds like EXACTLY what I wanted. I'll put this in the main directory of PotPlayerPortable and users can run it each time an installation takes root. Portable programs are just convenient because you can copy all your settings without touching the registry or the appdata...

imkira3

Yes! That sounds like what I want, so i can do something like this?

Code: Select all

FileCreateShortcut "A_Variable1" "%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs"

Can I use variables in the other arguments too?

imkira3

Well okay, but the point is simple lol. I just want to create a shortcut without absolute paths. All I know is the file name, PotPlayerPortable.exe, and that it will exist in the same directory as the ahk script, wherever that may be. Neither AHK nor VBS support this type of shortcut creation, they ...

imkira3

In a nutshell, my entire question is about relative path ---> absolute path conversion. I need a method for it, and if I can append variables like A_WorkingDir to outside files then maybe I can make one.

imkira3

Lol you misunderstand, I meant if I used a compiled ahk file to create and run a .ahk file... you would need AHK installed for that, so instead I'll use a compiled ahk file to create and run a .vbs file. And I know about FileAppend, but how to append a variable? That is the point of the whole questi...

imkira3

This is why I am using VBS as a middleman. I could use AHK to create an AHK script and do the exact same thing. Difference is you wouldn't need AHK installed for VBS I suppose
