Change default AutoItSetOption values for all scripts

[Miranda]

I find myself constantly changing several Opt()'s, and I was wondering if it wouldn't be possible to change the default values for them?

I mean these options: http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/functions/AutoItSetOption.htm

My apologies if this was already asked, I couldn't find it in a search.

Thanks

If you compile an AutoIt script a self-contained Exe is created. There is no way to change Opt settings after compilation.

The same is true if you run the source from SciTe etc.

I would use an #include file with all your Opt settings so you have just a single file to modify.

I would also question what Opt options you're using? Because some just shouldn't be there e.g. ExpandEnvStrings. Use EnvGet or _WinAPI_ExpandEnvironmentStrings exclusively, thus this will cause less issues when you want the raw string with the environmental strings unexpanded.

EnvGet
_WinAPI_ExpandEnvironmentStrings

@water: I exclusively meant for running .au3 scripts, the issue is I keep forgetting to set Opt("TrayIconDebug", 1) ;0=no info, 1=debug line info, and it's like the fifth time a script was hanging somewhere, and I would have loved to see at what script line it was, but since I hadn't set the Opt I couldn't see the line it was on.

I think an include file is the simplest solution. It's still something I have to remember, but at least it'll make things much easier, thanks!

@guinness:

In no particular order of how frequent I need them:

Opt("MouseCoordMode", 0) ;1=absolute, 0=relative, 2=client
Opt("TrayIconDebug", 1)
Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2) ;1=start, 2=subStr, 3=exact, 4=advanced, -1 to -4=Nocase
Opt("MouseClickDragDelay", 25) ;250 milliseconds
Opt("ExpandVarStrings", 1)
Opt("PixelCoordMode", 0) ;1=absolute, 0=relative, 2=client
Opt("WinDetectHiddenText", 1) ;0=don't detect, 1=do detect

Thanks for the hint about ExpandedEnvStrings!

Honestly I have never used any of those options. About debugging I would use a log file or _Debug UDF or the API call OutputDebugString.
