Some autohotkey programs I created:

 

  1. PutAside (url)

    Sometimes you'll want to put aside what you are working on to complete an important task. But the taskbar is such a mess!

    So I created PutAside. Run the program and press Shift-ScrollLock and all open windows are hidden, you can then work on your tempory task. Cycle through the hidden windows with ScrollLock. Press Shift-ScrollLock again and all hidden windows are restored. You can exclude windows.

    PutAside is a combination between alt-tab, Show Desktop, a boss-key, and virtual desktops. I've always found virtual desktops to be too complex: I can never remember what is on the other desktops. I never used bosskeys, and with show desktop/alt-tab the taskbar is so cluttered. PutAside is then a middle way to temporarily hide windows without making them inaccessible.

  2. Folder-RSS (url)

    Folder-RSS generates an newsfeed containing changes within a folder. Use it to see what files are new in a particular folder by subscribing with an newsreader such as Opera.

    You can only monitor specific files using wildcards. Put paths with spaces in quotes. Run it as a scheduled task once a day to generate a new feed! Defaults list the last 100 items that have been modified /are added within the last 14 days. Read-only, System and hidden files are not monitored unless specified.

  3. Level (url)

    Levelcopies files from multiple sources into a flat folder. It can be invoked from the commandline. For every source you can specify a file filter, and currently therre are switches to include/exclude subfolders, whether or not you want to overwrite all files that already exist or only older ones. You can have unlimited sources (afaik)

    I can imagine that it would be handy to use to consolidate all your music from different pcs into one folder.

    It requires cat.exe from UnxUtils because AutoHotkey doesn't allow you to send the output directly to the commandline. So if you want any output then put |cat at the end of a command. Instead you can also pipe it to a textfile.

  4. Alt-Tab Fingertips (url)

    I made a small AHK script I thought you might want to use: AltTab Fingertips. Many thanks to ak_ for creating "menu at cursor" idea with FileDraft, which inspired this. It's like alt-tab but quicker. A lot of code comes from my PutAside script.

    Press a configurable hotkey (F10 by default), and get a menu at the mouse with all the current windows on it. You can exclude processes using the tray menu.

  5. World of Warcraft AddonUpdateSync (url)

    This is an small piece of software (source included - made with autohotkey) that can be used to copy updated addonsfrom one WoW installation to another one, without adding any addons that are not already installed.

    I use it send new versions of addons I updated to other machines on the local network. The benefit of using this program above doing it yourself is that you don't have to check which of the addons you've updated are also installed on the other machine. For the techies: it checks the last modified date of the addon folder.

    It's portable.
