Default/Portable installation StdLib
Posted: 14 Nov 2015, 23:58
Not really sure if this should be a poll or not, I(or a mod/admin) can change it later on if necessary. I would like to make a suggestion on including some core lib scripts w/ the basic AHK installation and ZIP download. By "core", particularly a function version of all AHK commands(only those retained in v2) and of course naming(and syntax) should follow that of v2(e.g.: FileSelectFile becomes FileSelect and so on..). Some pros and cons:
PROS:
PROS:
- Addresses some limitations/quirks. Like passing/forcing expressions etc. (e.g.: SetTimer(Func("foo").Bind(args*), -1))
- Scripts written onwards should be easier to port to v2
- Easier transition to v2
- I know there are still others
- Bloat, Installation size - they're just text files so this shouldn't be that big of an issue
- Portability - compiler addresses this or if compiling is not an option, it's easy to write a "release" script or a script consolidator
- Who'll perform the command-to-function port? - I'm willing to do this
