Old AutoHotKey script works no more in 1.5 Alpha

[nice_guy]

My old AutoHotKey script (many many years old) works no more in 1.5 Alpha

I'm looking for a AutoHotKey script that should do:

After Highlighting any text (in Browser, in LibreOffice, etc.) and pressing a hotkey,

- EVT should open
and
- the highlighted text should be transported in the EVT search field.

Hotkey: Strg double pressed

I hope, that anybody can help me with a script.

Are you using Everything 1.4?

If not, please try disabling the Everything 1.5a instance:

• Completely exit Everything (from the File menu, click Exit)
• In the same location as your Everything.exe, create the following blank file:
  NO_ALPHA_INSTANCE
• Restart Everything

Do your scripts work now?



Replacing my Everything 1.4 installation with the test version

[nice_guy]

I don't understand. I use 1.5 Alpha and don't want to disable this.

[void]

Please check if your script is calling Everything64.exe (instead of Everything.exe)


Everything 1.5 alpha runs in a "1.5a" instance so it doesn't conflict with Everything 1.4.

Your scripts will most likely be unable to find the Everything window as it includes the 1.5a instance name.



Please try running Everything 1.5 alpha without the 1.5a instance:

• Completely exit Everything (from the File menu, click Exit)
• In the same location as your Everything.exe, create the following blank file:
  NO_ALPHA_INSTANCE
• Restart Everything
• Reconfigure your settings.

1. All 1.4 versions are deleted.
2. I use the 1.5 Alpha 64bit versions.
3. I use the portable 1.5 Alpha version.
4. I use different of them.
5. The .exe is renamed in 123.exe and 456.exe and so on.

Could you please share the script.

[nice_guy]

No. It's copyrighted. I'm not allowed.

Anybody who has a working script?

[void]

Did your old script previously work in Everything 1.4 and is no longer working in Everything 1.5?

[nice_guy]

It's working in Win7 in EVT 1.4 and 1.5 Alpha.
It doesn't work in Win10 in 1.5 Alpha. 1.4 not tested because 1.4 I have deleted.

Please, David, let the old script 6 feet under.

There must be one of the 8 Billion people on this planet who has a working AHK script for Everything.

It would be easier to help you fix your script if it wasn't so "copyrighted."

Here's the dibbly do that void was trying to explain:

Everything 1.5 Alpha changes its "ahk_class ClassNN" name from "ahk_class EVERYTHING" to "ahk_class EVERYTHING_(1.5a)"
Everything 1.5 Alpha changes its "ahk_exe file.exe" name from "ahk_exe Everything.exe" to "ahk_exe Everything64.exe"

Either you, or I, or void have to edit your script...

Or you have to follow void's instructions relating to "NO_ALPHA_INSTANCE".

If you don't understand, and cannot share the script, then you will have to speak to the original author who holds the copyright patent pending registered trademark all rights reserved.

It doesn't work in Win10 in 1.5 Alpha. 1.4 not tested because 1.4 I have deleted.

It sounds like an issue on Windows 10.
Changing the 1.5a instance is unlikely to help.
