Re: Run ahk scripts with arguments? Topic is solved
What you could do is use #SingleInstance off , the script would have a condition that checks if the script is already open. If the script was already open, then the 2nd script would send a message using PostMessage to the 1st script. - If the 2nd script has command line parameters, you send them to ...

@Helgef: Variables and Expressions https://autohotkey.com/docs/Variables.htm#Operators For backward compatibility, command parameters that are documented as "can be an expression" treat an isolated name in percent signs (e.g. %Var%, but not Array%i%) as though the percent signs are absent.

Lucky I memorised the documentation so I don't have to look it up.
Btw I use Internet Explorer 11, which browser do you use? In case for some reason certain browsers were affected earlier than others. Cheers.

Mozilla Firefox: Save Image As... using s not v
Internet Explorer has 'Save picture as...', with accelerator key s. Mozilla Firefox has 'Save Image As...', with accelerator key v. This equals confusion. Ordinarily in Mozilla Firefox if you press s, you get Set As Desktop Background..., which is undesirable. I'm trying to write a script such that ...

So did you get the script to work?
Btw have you checked if these methods handle transparency properly? Cheers. (I believe I had some issues in the past.)

Re: Finding the latest folder in a directory with a 6 digit name Topic is solved
I've made some slight changes: - Reset vLatest to 0 before we begin, just in case you used vLatest in a different loop earlier. - Use && instead of a second if, although if twice would also work fine. - Use comma instead of && when assigning vLatest and vName. vDest = C:\Test vLatest := 0 Loop, %vDe...

Re: Downloading files to variable or file Topic is solved
- vData is binary data. If you create binary data within the function, and return a pointer to it, that data gets destroyed when the function ends. In general, ByRef is one of the best solutions for handling binary data in AHK v1 and v2, although AHK v2 is making normal variables capable of handling...

Re: Ensuring script remains reliable whilst making it run faster
This is an issue with programming generally. You want to confirm when an action is complete before moving on to the next action. If you're too quick, that messes everything up, if you're too slow, you are waiting unnecessarily. This applies equally to slow and fast computers. For copying, see ClipWa...

It appears that there are two options for retrieving the z-order of windows, EnumWindows (apparently preferable) or GetWindow. From what I can see, you can set the z-order by repeatedly bringing a window to the top of the z-order, or by repeatedly activating windows. There may be a more advanced sol...
