download the new version for apple AutoHotkey 2.0.3

Should it ask to update? I use AHK to automate things, I don't want to be forced to manually dismiss a dialog (Sysinternals command line applications with a surprise EULA dialog come to mind).Should it check and update automatically? Perhaps I'm fine with the current version and I don't want an update (or even check).Your opinion that an auto-updater in a bare-minimum requirement is one many likely don't share, quite the opposite. And I much more prefer (not demand) they do that on features not easily scriptable. The devs are those few people that spend their free time on the project, so it's not a (paid) job.

Basic shortcomings like this are plentiful in AHK and have really been making me consider switching to AutoIt. This isn't an advanced or specialty feature, it's bare-minimum requirement nowadays. It's pretty inexcusable that a program as popular and powerful as AHK still doesn't have one in 2017, especially since it's been in active development for nearly 15 years now. Or maybe the AHK devs could just do their job and add an auto-updater, instead of forcing users to rely on tedious/unreliable/clunky workarounds like this.

MsgBox % (FileGetVersionInfo_AW(A_AhkPath,'FileVersion')>='1.1.00.00')įileGetVersionInfo_AW( peFile='', StringFileInfo='', Delimiter='|') Or, perhaps, you can understand your old update.ahk script and you will have to just change the URL download link (new at ), or to grab some function to make your own updater. Code: Select all MsgBox % FileGetVersionInfo_AW(A_AhkPath,'FileVersion')
