AutoHotFlow - Simply draw your applications
Re: AutoHotFlow - Simply draw your applications
Yes I did. I just tried it again. The program in the c:\ProgramFiles\AutoHotflow. If I disable "Run as adminstrator" the error above happens again. Not necessarily a problem now, as I can just run it in Adminstrator mode.
Re: AutoHotFlow - Simply draw your applications
Hey everyone!!! This script creator is pretty dope.
Couple of questions. Both already asked and one not answered....the other solution didn’t seem to work.
Big thanks to Bichlepa for all this hard work!

1: The flows can't be converted to ahk scripts and therefore can't be executed standalone. The flows are saved in the folder "Saved Flows" as ini files. Sorry.
2: You can write to and read clipboard content using the actions "Get clipboard" and "Write clipboard".

Re: AutoHotFlow - Simply draw your applications
I always found this pretty neat,kinda like flowgorithm but for ahk. I suppose i never knew this cos i assumed it was somewhat of a code generator... So i'm really only wondering why didn't you implement it as a code generator, the 'Generated Scripts' folder made me think it was,and your comment above seems to state otherwise...bichlepa wrote: ↑18 Nov 2018, 03:12@wsimon98

Just curious,cos it would have been much easier to write & maintain,and the editor btw is master piece .
At the very least consider adding the ability to execute flows from shortcut AND/OR hotkey, which i imagine would make this awesome tool more useful,as easy as it is,the only reason why it's never transcended tickling my curiosity is because it's less of a Visual Editor and more of a Visual Wrapper,i.e I Use Gui,Msgbox,InputBox,... generators because i'd rather not deal with some details,code generation would extend your tool to at the very least a Script Logic Visual Editor,just something to consider, i never bothered porting your editor my self cos it's just so integrated into the main script.... Cheers & Awesome Tool.
live ? long & prosper : regards
Re: AutoHotFlow - Simply draw your applications
How to call function and continue with execution when function is done?
And how to compile the script?
When I click on script I can not even run it without run it from AutoHotFlow app.

Re: AutoHotFlow - Simply draw your applications
Good news! I was able to solve the annoying crash problems and the project will continue now! I think the tool has enough features for a first release, so I'm going to work on int. For this I need to do bugfixes, documentation and some refactoring. Stay tuned!

Re: AutoHotFlow - Simply draw your applications
@blue83 I'm sorry, I've overseen your question. I acutally don't understad your questions, can you please give some more details? To make it clear: AHF is not a script generator. You cannot export and run anything without the AutoHotFlow application.
@CyL0N Thanks for the feedback. In meantime I made the Editor less intergrated than before. If you want to reuse it for a script generator, I will help you with that.

Re: AutoHotFlow - Simply draw your applications
Good news! Version 1.0.0 is out!
Finally, I finished the first stable version of AutoHotFlow!
It's big difference between this release and the old pre-release. It is much less buggy and much more perfomant.
Check it out!

I also implemented a modular concept, it will be possible to create extension modules which contain a set of actions, conditions, loops and triggers. I'll create soon a template project for that. It will be pretty easy for AHK coder to implement more elements.

Re: AutoHotFlow - Simply draw your applications
this is really impressive
Re: AutoHotFlow - Simply draw your applications
@bichlepa
Very impressive, including your tenacity to stick with developing this.
Something to note about this, is that the tool you created (starting from years ago) is somewhat like what is presently used in RPA tools like UiPath. Except AutoHotkey would be easier to use overall. Seems like this would be great as not only a standalone, but as part of an AutoHotkey RDA/RPA application as well.

Re: AutoHotFlow - Simply draw your applications
@bichlepa, I echo @SOTE's sentiments.
Thank you! Very much looking forward to seeing this evolve. And very much looking forward to seeing your extension template! Maybe users could add Chrome.ahk and Selenium extensions. That would really put AutoHotFlow in RPA/RDA territory.

Re: AutoHotFlow - Simply draw your applications
I have a partially working AutoHotFlow "Action" created to run Python scripts. It could be easily modified to run anything from the command line. It uses @SKAN's RunCmd() v.0.94. It is not finished and I'm still fuzzy as to what best practices are for creating custom Actions. This still needs an output variable to pass the output of RunCmd(cmd) correctly back to the Flow.
The script needs to go in "Source_Elements\Default\Actions".
I'm not sure if this is required, but it didn't hurt:
1) Add the name of the script ("RunPython_script.ahk" in my case) to Source_Elements\Default\manifest.json.
2) With AutoHotFlow shut down, run "find modules.exe" from the AutoHotFlow main directory.
The Python file I used to test as shown below is "C:\work\Python\HelloWorld.py":

Re: AutoHotFlow - Simply draw your applications
A little more luck. Output variables now working.

This flow pings comcast.net and displays the output in an AHK message box for debugging (comment out line 101 of the attached script to get rid of it), then in an AutoHotFlow message box.

Re: AutoHotFlow - Simply draw your applications
That's very cool, @burque505! You already figured it out on your own which steps are required.
I just finished writing instructions how to create new elements. You can find the help files in this path: Tools for contributors\Element creation\help\index.html.
I described there some more steps that you may do to make it easier for me to include your elements in AHF. Those are:

Re: AutoHotFlow - Simply draw your applications
@bichlepa, thank you for your kind words.
I will look at your new guidelines and do my best to follow them.
I actually have RunCmd.ahk in a Lib folder "AutoHotFlow-1.0.3\Lib\RunCmd", ergo "AutoHotFlow-1.0.3\Lib\RunCmd\RunCmd.ahk", but I ran into trouble referencing it (included it in a function instead of at the top or bottom of the script).
Just in case anyone else does the same thing I did (i.e. including a function in an "Action"), once I did that it was also available to new Actions. So when I pasted RunCmd.ahk's contents into "RunCommand_script.ahk" I got a "duplicate function" error.

Re: AutoHotFlow - Simply draw your applications
It's easy to add new icons, just put them in the "Icons" folder.
Example:
Example:
Re: AutoHotFlow - Simply draw your applications
You have to add the lib to source_elements\Default\lib\%anyNewSubFolder%.
The root folder Lib is only for libraries that are used by AHF application. Those lib functions should not be used directly by the elements.

Re: AutoHotFlow - Simply draw your applications
I worked hard today
Now it is possible to create extension packages with an installer!
The instructions are located in the repository in this path: Tools for contributors\Element creation\help\index.html.

Working on a Chrome extension for AHK. So far two Actions are working, although in alpha status:
