Completed: $FO_UTF8 will work for opening in read mode

22:40 Ticket #597 (Documentation @TempDir needs updating) closed by Valik
No Bug: That's wrong. @TempDir will return whatever it finds first: 1. The path specified by the TMP environment variable. 2. The path specified by the TEMP environment variable. 3. The path specified by the USERPROFILE environment variable. 4. The Windows directory. So it will find TMP first if it exists: […] I don't see that this needs documented, however. People have been using the macro for years and have never needed to know how it was implemented.

23:51 Ticket #454 (FileRead handle files as UTF-8 even BOM is missing) reopened by Valik
Alright, somebody actually gave me a file which demonstrated the problem and the desired outcome and I now see what the OP means. Would have been helpful to have that from the start, however.
23:18 Ticket #454 (FileRead handle files as UTF-8 even BOM is missing) closed by Valik
Rejected: I don't know what your expectations are. UTF-8 files don't need a BOM because it's pretty much pointless for the encoding so the comment on it being missing is irrelevant. As for the behavior, UTF-8 is fully backwards compatible with ANSI so if your file contains all ANSI characters it's going to be treated as ANSI, BOM or not. If there was a problem with the behavior here it would actually be bug and not a feature request. Since nobody else has clearly demonstrated any issue I'm closing this as rejected.
18:07 Ticket #520 (WMI SwbemRefresher Object used in a loop has memory leak) closed by Valik
No Bug: This is not a leak in AutoIt. I tried calling the Remove() and DeleteAll() methods on the $oRefresher object to get rid of the enumeration but it still leaks. I tested with identical VBS code and it also leaks. Here's the AutoIt code I used: […] And the VBS which is identical other than it lacks a hotkey. […] Closing as no bug.

07:34 Ticket #594 (wintitlematchmode) closed by Valik
Rejected: While in theory I can agree that specifying the match mode on a per-call basis would be superior, it's too late in the game for that. It's also a lot of work at this point for virtually no gain. Further, the match modes are largely redundant with the advanced window descriptions. For example, I believe that using the TITLE property is the same as doing an exact match (mode 3). Modes 1 and 2 can be achieved by the REGEXPTITLE depending on how you specify the pattern (it's not complex to do basic anchored/substring matching). Lastly you should be operating on HWND's as much as possible and not using anything else. I use the advanced descriptors in a call to WinGetHandle() to get the handle to the window which I use from then on. Basically, everything I just said also applies to controls.

This is really a two part request. I believe WinTitleMatchMode should …
05:58 Ticket #593 (Process Path) closed by Valik
Rejected: If somebody wishes to contribute a well-written function that would be fine. But since I don't see any submission attached I'm closing this. You should be able to get one of the functions working by making sure it's opening the process with the correct access rights. Chances are people have just been lazy and used the all-access rights which will fail if you are not an admin (which you won't be on Vista if it's set up).

Fixed: Fixed in version: 3.2.13.8
01:53 Ticket #591 (_GUICtrlListBox_AddString goes loopy when passing array instead of string) closed by Valik
No Bug: Replying to Annonymous: > Valik once said that Autoit shouldn't hard crash under any circumstance. Indeed. In this case, though, it's technically not AutoIt's crash. The array is converted to a number and passed to SendMessage(). The message that's being used expects a string, so when it encounters a number it tries to do stuff and crashes. There isn't anything we can do about this. In certain cases (Using DllCall(), sending messages) it's up to the caller (you) to make sure you don't pass invalid data. No bug.

00:36 Ticket #590 (AutoIT Script corrupting file names in script directory) closed by Valik
No Bug: Not enough information and the example script is way too long. Try asking for support on the forum to isolate the issue and determine if it's actually a bug.

20:23 Ticket #550 (Run() - doc precision) closed by Valik
Rejected: I'm not sure how useful it is to document this. It wasn't really added to be useful for user's but rather for us in debugging. For now I think it should still be undocumented.
20:21 Ticket #565 (Calculate Membership in group or ranges) closed by Valik
Rejected: This should be possible via a COM object, 3rd-party tool or DllCall(). In other words it should be possible via a UDF of some sort. Closing as rejected.
20:20 Ticket #529 (Identifying .NET controls using WM_GETCONTROLNAME) closed by Valik
Rejected: Since you did figure out how to do it via I'm closing this as rejected.
20:19 Ticket #528 (Native Control Identification and Property Retrieval using Active ...) closed by Valik
Rejected: I believe that objects implementing accessibility functionality do so via a COM interface that is IDispatch enabled. In short, that means you should be able to, in some manner or other, access it via AutoIt's COM functionality. I don't see this being built-in.
20:07 Ticket #509 (UDP Receive String) closed by Valik
Rejected: You can just cast the returned data via String() and it will do the same thing your proposed flag would.
20:05 Ticket #548 (Array initializing syntax everywhere) closed by Valik
Rejected: It would be nice in some ways but I don't think it's worth the effort and the syntax issues it could cause.
20:03 Ticket #535 (don't pause the script when the tray menu is open or the gui title bar ...) closed by Valik
Rejected: There's really not much that can be done about this due to the way AutoIt is designed. You can avoid some of it by disabling the tray menu.
19:53 Ticket #587 (ControlGetPos array error) closed by Valik
No Bug: I agree with Saunder's assessment here. Also, I'm not really sure what the "SciTE help index" is so I really don't know what you have tried. Anyway, this is unlikely to be a real bug so I'm closing this.
19:51 Ticket #521 (Forum Upload Issue) closed by Valik
No Bug: You can view your attachments at this link. Otherwise, you'll have to bring the issue up with Jon on the forum because there's nothing anybody else can do to help you.
19:39 Ticket #574 (Problem with sending the Windows Key + L) closed by Valik
Fixed: Fixed in version: 3.2.13.8
19:10 Ticket #584 (Scite4AutoIt3 reports DLL error on start up) closed by Valik
No Bug: The latest versions of SciTE4AutoIt will not work on Windows 98. A version that came out around the time of 3.2.12.0 should still work on Windows 98.
18:54 Ticket #507 (Problem with GuiToolTip UDF functions using only TTM_*W message constants.) closed by Valik
No Bug: I just tested with AutoItMacroGenerator02.exe. It doesn't do what I said but it is doing something that I can't identify. Here are my observations: * I tested with 2 different programs that have a toolbar. When I press 1 or 2 when hovering over a toolbar button I get _1_ window (_ArrayDisplay()) showing me information on the button I'm hovering over. * When I do the same thing with AutoItMacroGenerator02.exe I get a lot of windows showing me information on every toolbar button. This says to me that AutoItMacroGenerator02.exe is doing something non-standard or something not compatible with the enumeration method you are trying to use. As best I can tell, this isn't a bug in AutoIt.

18:00 Ticket #580 (ControlListView - Get Text under SysListView32) closed by Valik
No Bug: As I explained in the forum post: The list-view data is managed by the program itself (it has LVS_OWNERDATA set). That means data is not stored or accessed in the standard way. There is a second, different way to access the data and the code you are using does not try the alternate way. The control is what's called a "Virtual List-View" and you can find information on MSDN for how to work with it. This is not a bug, closing it as such.

17:16 Ticket #578 (#570 CLOSED? AutoIt problems handling filenames with two or more ...) closed by Valik
No Bug: Straight from the documentation for "ExpandVarStrings": > when in this mode and you want to use a literal $ or @ then double it up: "This is a single dollar $$ sign". It has absolutely nothing to do with file names. It has everything to do with the feature you chose to turn on working working exactly as it was designed and documented. The behavior you describe is not a bug. As for the false assumptions, all your comments on "compile-time" versus "run-time" are a load of ignorant conjecture. AutoIt is not a true compiled language. Very little is done at compile-time because AutoIt does not have an optimizing compiler. The only things that are done at compile-time are things that can't be done at run-time. Changing this to a bug and closing it, again.

You mention applications that are not directly related to AutoIt, things that are on the "do not ask about these" list, things that allow you to create bad code, a lot of things that can be done yourself if you'd just spend some time thinking and learning the language a little better, and things that should not be implemented in AutoIt at all.
