[Solved] SciTE4AutoIt3 - Tools Menu Empty

[RexDart]

How do I get the full suite of tools to display in SciTE4AutoIt3's Tools menu?  I've installed full AutoIt 3, and then SciTE4AutoIt3.  I'm not seeing any difference between SciTE4AutoIt3 and SciTE that ships with AU3.

It sounds line the full version isn't installed. You did use the installers for both or the zip files?
What do you see in the SciTE output pane when you run (f5) a script? (Please Copy&Paste that here in a codebox so I can check)).

I used the EXE installers for both, linked from the instructions page here.

Looks good, so are you sure you have a AutoIt3 file selected when checking the tools in the SciTE menu?

I did not do that; looks like that was the cause. 

Has it always behaved this way? 

[Jos]

Yes,  The shown tools are related to the file extension of the current file. This makes sense when you consider you want to use the editor for more than one program language and still have a run/compile etc for each of them executing their own language tools.

I'm not sure what sense it would make to use "SciTE4AutoIt3" for anything but "AutoIt3", but okay.  

Thanks for the answer; do I need to mark this as Solved or anything?

.. because it is still the standard SciTE that is packed in the Full installer with all the standard bits and pieces and on top of that a shitload of added customizations for use with AutoIt3. The one included in the Autoit3 installer, which we call the lite SciTE4Autoit3 is still the standard distribution, but compiled as a standalone version with only the AutOit3 lexer and required output lexers...hence the name.

The forum doesn't have a "solved" marking option and people tend to update the title.

Done.  Thank you!
