Pragma - I'm lost!

[chrisT]

Hello

Just updated Autoit to version 3.3.10.3 & now when compiling(Ctrl + F7) there is no default icon or "File version" number for the .exe

How can I set these defaults(i.e to avoid browsing to the icon path or using Pragma directives #pragma compile(Icon, C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\Icons\au3.ico in au3 script)

&

where can I find more info on Pragma & how it fits together with AutoIt3Wrapper (A Dummies version)

Some forum searching gave this thread anything else:

'?do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent>>

chrisT,

Simply add the relevant #pragma directives to the top of your script:

#pragma compile(Icon, C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\Icons\au3.ico)
#pragma compile(FileVersion, 3.7.0.0, 3.7.100.201)

and you will get an icon and the FileVersion property when compiling.

As to using #pragma with Autoit3Wrapper, the latter should ignore any of its directives that would conflict with existing #pragma directives, but to be on the safe side I suggest using just the #pragma ones. The only exception I know of is if you use #pragma to run upx and ask AutoIt3Wrapper to add resources. In this case the #pragma directive is disabled because upx must run after the resource additions and so it is run by AutoIt3Wrapper after it has finished adding them.

Clear enough?

That's an app which you simple select your script and it converts #AutoItWrapper directives into valid #pragma, well the ones which are available anyway.

Thanks, clear enough , however previous autoit versions when using Ctrl+F7(SciTE) to compile an au3, there was no need to include any directives & compiling would automatically include the relevant info by default so now it has null defaults ie version = 0.0.0.0, icon default to a windows icon..etc. I guess I was wanting to know how to avoid including directives in the au3 script?

If you want an icon and the file version property then you now need directives. There was considerable discussion as to exactly what should be the default settings - the easiest thing became to leave them blank and let everyone choose their own.
