I would like to see a way to include compiled scripts in my scripts.

Ex:

#include <myfunclib.a3x> ; my function library in compiled form
#include <otherfunclib.au3> ; other functions, complete with source

I have some function libraries I have written, that represent considerable effort, and in some cases hoop-jumping creativity, to accomplish various tasks. I would like to share these functions with the AutoIt community, but am reluctant to release the source for some of my more creative solutions.

For example, I am finishing a semi-OOP-ish set of functions for basic database functionality, using AutoIt3 native commands/functions only (no COM dependencies). From what I've read in the forums, I know there are several people that would benefit from being able to use this.

There are probably more UDFs out there that scripters are reluctant to share because they do not want to just give away their most creative code, that they might share if they could just distribute a compiled library.

I can also see this as a benefit if I contract to write some AU3 scripts for a client that wants the code for those scripts, but needs to have one of my functions included. By including a compiled function library script, they can have the code that was written specifically for them on their dime, but still benefit from more advanced functions I have written and want to keep control over.

Adding as an issue that I need to do some more extensive testing with RunAs() to confirm all the bugs are gone.

I have seen a few versions of _ArrayDisplay(). It seems as the function gets faster code wise it becomes more cumbersome to use in developing a script.

Can we please think about an early option in the call that let's the resulting gui have a close button that is focused on default?

This way when using _ArrayDisplay($avArray, $optDBG, $OPT.. .. ..) to 'debug', you just have to hit the enter key. Very useful when stepping through an array and performing stringsplits or similar.

I have coded it up myself very simply just inserting a gui_focus and exitloop at the right spots. But it would be nice to just have it work in every future version.

Thank you. Sul.
