SciTE4AutoIt3 abbreviations

[Realm]

Does Ctrl+b work to expand so we know that the basics work?

What file is opened when you do: OptionsOpen Abbreviations file?

What is its contents? (Should be:)

import au3abbrev
import au3UserAbbrev

The au3abbrev.properties in the same directory should contain the long list of abbreviations

Ctrl+b does nothing but freeze up SciTE for a couple seconds.

The Abbreviations file is empty. I tried adding those 2 lines to it, but it would not let me save under my personal user account. I jumped onto my admin account and it still will not let me save or modify the file. Says I need administrator's permissions. Strange to get even from my Administrator account.

Did you look at the file security?

Go into the advanced window and make sure you have the ownership!

Then in SciTE4Au3 I see in title:

C:UsersuserAppData......

Check the Environment settings for and SCITE_???? keyword, since these are used by SciTE to locate the User directory.

1. Advance Tab in  System properties

2+3. ENV Setting for SCITE_USERHOME

4. START RUN window dialog

5. Currently you have not permission to access this folder.

Just change the Environment variable to point to the correct %LOCALAPPDATA% directory.

I changed my pc name after I downloaded AutoIt the first time. I don't believe it has anything to do with it though because I have had this same issue since before I changed it.

File security shows that my personal account, admin account, and system all has access to it.

[Jos]

You are not showing your rights to the directory but the SYSTEM account rights when i see it correctly.

You really should ensure to own the directories and files in that sub directory:

• click advanced on the shown window
• click owner
• ensure the onwership is your active userid

I was showing the wrong user the other day. I have it on the correct user, Environment variable is pointing to it, and have ownership. It is still not working for me

 

I still could not save the abbreviations file either

 

Edit: I created the abbrev.properties file in another directory and moved it into the proper directory. It called for admin permission, but the file is in place now. However abbreviations are still not working.

Ok, so you have the proper rights now for abbrev.properties?

What about the content of file au3abbrev.properties and the directory in the SCITE_USERHOME environment variable?

Jos

I'm new with Win7, I was one of those reluctant fools to wait forever to leave XP. I do believe all the settings are correct as shown in the pic below. However, I cannot find the au3abbrev.properties file.

[Jos]

I think you are still showing me the security for the system account. are you sure you selected your userid before taking the screenshot?

The au3abbrev.properties must be located in the same directory as abbrev.properties.

When you have used the installer and ran that under a different account you simply need to copy all files from that used account directory into you own %localuserdata% directory and change the file security so you ow it and have "Full Control".

This really should be pretty straight forward.

Your right, I had the wrong account selected. 

 

Edit: To show ownership
