Is there a way to concatenate a user include directory

[obrienj]

Is there a way to concatenate (old OS/360 mainframe term) a user include directory to the AutoIt include directory so that all uses of the AutoIt compiler access it as well as the AutoIt include directory.

I have a directory of private UDFs that I would prefer not propagating to various project directories nor do I want to place them in the AutoIt include directory.

Through searching the forums and the help files I haven't been able to find anything on this.

All my compiling is done through SciTE.

Hi,

so you are looking for something that organizes your includes automatically?

But searching the help file would have given you a solution.

Keywords >> #include

There is a special registry value that can be created at "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\AutoIt v3\AutoIt" called "Include". It should be a REG_SZ (string) value. The contents of this value are a semi-colon delimited list of directories that should be searched for files when resolving #include's in addition to the standard locations.

I use that solution and it works just fine. As a matter of fact I also imported all of my XP settings for AutoIt into Windows 7 to save me having to do double installs and it works fine there as well.

SciTEConfig has the option to update this registy entry.

Sure, now you tell me. How many other goodies have you been keeping me in the dark about?

EDIT: You need a menu item that just imports all the registry settings for AutoIt and Scite from one OS to another.

Yea, I guess that could be added to the Helpfile.

I see I only documented the Color/Font option, but haven't documented the rest. (Guess I was waiting for the secretary to work on a draft

That could be a nice abd relative simple script to /export and /import all possible settings for AutoIt3 and SciTE.

Added to my active projects as #33 but I may set the priority higher since I'm almost ready to switch systems again.
