AHK Coding Snack Idea: Deluxe AHK Script Manager (AXEM)

blog clipart
I've been trying to think of a coding snack idea that a DonationCoder member might make as a way of showing DC support for the Lifehacker AHK project (see here).

And i think i came up with a cool one.

I call it Deluxe AHK Script Manager (AXEM).

Here is what it should do:
  • When you start the script it discovers a list of .ahk scripts in its Scripts\ subdirectory.
  • Double clicking on tray will present a simple form with each script listed on its own line with a checkbox on the left.
  • Checks will be shown for scripts that are currently running.
  • The user can then enable and disable scripts from that dialog by checking boxes.
  • Scripts that are enabled will be launched if not currently running; scripts unchecked will be closed.
  • Right clicking on the menu will show menu list of scripts that user can select to open the .ahk in a text editor.

So this utility would be an excellent way to manage a set of scripts and test them.

Anyone feel like coding this? (dont forget to then post it in the Lifehacker AHK group!)

In the span of 24 hours we have an implementation of this idea coded by DC member Justice -- And it works great! Click here to read more and download..
