swin4ort 0 Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 I have created and compiled an AutoIt script as abc.exe. I have used Explorer to associate any filename.abc to always use abc.exe to open any file with an extension of .abc. However, in Explorer when I right click on a file such as xyz.abc and display the Open With list, the list shows "AutoIt v3 compiled script" rather than the actual executable name abc.exe. When I create multiple different .exe files used to open a variety of file types; all of the .exe files have the same "AutoIt v3 compiled script" name in the Explorer OpenWith list. Is there any way I can get the actual name of the compiled script such as abc.exe to appear in Explorer? Thanks Link to post Share on other sites
Andre 0 Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 Hi, When using AutoIt in combination with the Scite4AutoIt installer, you can easy change the name with so called "compiler" directives...... Have a look at it..... Andre What about Windows without using AutoIt ?It would be the same as driving a car without an steering Wheel! Link to post Share on other sites
trids 2 Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 I'm not sure SciTE is necessarily the answer here : I don't use SciTE, but when I compile an exe and follow swin4ort's procedure, the exe-name is listed as he wishes in the Open With list (see attachment)I'm on NT4 :"> , AU3 v 3.0.103.163 Link to post Share on other sites
Andre 0 Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 (edited) Hmmm, In NT it displays different then in XP. Edited February 1, 2005 by Andre What about Windows without using AutoIt ?It would be the same as driving a car without an steering Wheel! Link to post Share on other sites
MHz 83 Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 all of the .exe files have the same "AutoIt v3 compiled script""Autoit v3 compiled script" would be the preset description.At sometime during versions of beta, description was removed.The latest beta does not preset this description.CompileAU3 by JdeB, can add a description with Resource Hacker. (as in Scite)Picture displays use with v1.0.102 Link to post Share on other sites
trids 2 Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 So as a general solution for those who don't use SciTE, see this thread:#5383.. explains how to edit the AutoItSC.bin file, which will affect all your subsequent compiles.HTH Link to post Share on other sites
