[Solved] What Happened to SyntaxCheck (CTRL-F5)?

[Zohar]

I understand.

Thank you - so I will fix small Selection background the problem myself.

Now regarding SyntaxCheck (Ctrl-F5) back in Scite Lite, should I wait for a new build?

Who knows when it will come.. :/

[Jos]

OK..

Just to verify..

If I installed the main Installer, called "AutoIt Full Installation",

then I need to install SciTE4AutoIt3.exe (4679Kb)?

That's OK?

It is indeed that I made a mistake with updating the properties for SciTE delivered with that Production version. It has been corrected for a while already.

2 options to fix this when you insist to stay with the lite version:

• In SciTE click Options/Open Options file and add this into it:

  autoit3dir=$(SciteDefaultHome)\..
      
      au3=*.au3
      filter.au3=AutoIt (au3)|*.au3|
      lexer.$(au3)=au3
      
      # Commands to compile / run your script
      command.compile.*.au3="$(autoit3dir)\aut2exe\aut2exe.exe" /in "$(FilePath)"
      command.build.*.au3="$(autoit3dir)\aut2exe\aut2exe.exe" /in "$(FilePath)"
      command.go.*.au3="$(autoit3dir)\autoit3.exe" /ErrorStdOut "$(FilePath)" $(1) $(2) $(3) $(4)
      #
      # 03 Tylo's au3check program for Prod
      command.3.$(au3)="$(autoit3dir)\au3check.exe" -q "$(FilePath)"
      command.name.3.$(au3)=SyntaxCheck Prod
      command.shortcut.3.$(au3)=Ctrl+F5
      command.save.before.3.$(au3)=1
      #

Easy way is indeed to install the full version of SciTE4AutoIt3

Hi Jos

Thank you very much.

Can I please ask you when will a Final release of "AutoIt Full Installation" (that includes Scite Lite) be released?

No idea... I only maintain the SciTE stuf with all its utilities and installer.

The SciTElite posted is the latest version which you can use with the current version of AutoIt3 without any issue.

When you say "The SciTElite posted", you talk about the 2nd option you gave?

"2. Download the latest beta version of SciTE-Lite here."

correct

I understand - thanks for the help..

1 important question that arose after looking at the Change Log:

There's a line there:

"Changed: Compiling with VC10. Added workarounds for Win2000/XP RTM to allow execution of AutoIt, Aut2Exe, Au3Info, Au3Check and AutoItHelp."

I am using Windows XP SP3 - does this mean I am about to experience problems because of this VC10 compiling?

Why important? have you tried running autoit3 and have you had issue with it?

I haven't had any issue yet,

but the mentioning of Windows XP in that Change Log line, worries me

As said, I am using Windows XP SP3,

and I have no plans on "moving forward" to the newer OSes Microsoft released.

The fact that they wrote there "Added workarounds" seems like a bad sign for Windows XP users?

(and why is "RTM" mentioned there?)

Don't worry about it and things run fine in WinXP SP3, which by the way is end-of-life next year April after which you won't be getting any patches any more.

People have been using that workaround since 2011 on XP without a problem, any reason why you think you'd have one?

If I have to choose between comfortability of Windows XP vs the newer OSes, and patches,

I'd go with Windows XP

Vista is horrible,

"7" is Vista, with a new name and some bug fixes,

and "8", well, it's good for Tblets, not Desktops.

No, no special reason for me.. just asking, to know if I should start encountering any problem.. which if yes, means maybe I should stick with 3.3.6.1.

But according to what you say, I shouldn't encounter anything, so I will not revert back to 3.3.6.1..

[Zohar]

Jos, using option #2 that you gave, really helped, thank you..

If I ever have some ideas regarding SciTE,

how should I communicate with you?

(here, or private messag, or anything else)
