AutoIt Path Switcher

[MrCreatoR]

This is the command for Ctrl+F7 which you can find in au3.properties:

Thanks, now i can use the standart version.

So, what are these tweaks you did in your own version that makes it indispensable?

I have changed the script backup procedure.

I didn't like the recycle method, so i use this:

;FileRecycle($ScriptFile_In)
        FileMove($ScriptFile_In, $ScriptFile_In & ".bak", 1)
        FileSetAttrib($ScriptFile_In & ".bak", "+H")

This is not really a backup process but used in the 2 parts where the source is update with either the new version number or the updated Directives.

Are you worried you would loose the original script because, when you actually have done this at both places, the change you lose your original is much bigger... or didn't you like the many recyclebin versions?

Yes, i don't like the idea that my script is dissapeard when compiling . You saing that if i use FileCopy the source can be lost, how?

didn't you like the many recyclebin versions?

Yes, this is one of the reasons (but not the main). I also like to keep my recycle bin empty, don't ask why, i don't know the answer myself

What I meant is that if AutoIt3Wrapper for any reason corrupt your scriptfile in the step where the directives are updated and then does the Version update in the seconds step, this would mean with your change, that the BAK file will contain the corrupted version from the first step after the run is completed and you lost the original. (I hope this still makes some sence)

Any way, sorry for kinda highjacking your thread which wasn;t my intention, just tried to understand the reason for deviating from standard available stuff.

Oh i see now, but is it mean that FileRecycle as well will put the "crrupted" file to the recycle bin?

Can we backup it only on one of the steps (set some variable to see if it's been backuped on the first step)?

No no, it's ok, if we can use only AutoIt3Wrapper, then why not, iv'e made AutoIt Path Switcher only because i didn't use AutoIt3Wrapper, and it was long time ago .

Like this:

#Region Declare variables
...
$bMake_Source_Backup = True
...
#EndRegion Declare variables

Func Add_Constants()
    ...
    If $bMake_Source_Backup Then
        $bMake_Source_Backup = False
        ;FileRecycle($ScriptFile_In)
        FileMove($ScriptFile_In, $ScriptFile_In & ".bak", 1)
        FileSetAttrib($ScriptFile_In & ".bak", "+H")
    EndIf
    ...
EndFunc
...
Func GUI_Show()
    ...
        If $bMake_Source_Backup Then
            $bMake_Source_Backup = False
            ;FileRecycle($ScriptFile_In)
            FileMove($ScriptFile_In, $ScriptFile_In & ".bak", 1)
            FileSetAttrib($ScriptFile_In & ".bak", "+H")
        EndIf
    ...
EndFunc

Well, The first recycled file will be the original script so, if for any reason the script is corrupted in one of these two steps, the original is always retrievable.
