Question

Hey Rafaello,

thanks for your amazing tool!

I tried to use it on a system where Autohotkey v2 is installed, and got some syntax error messages that I believe were related to AHK v1 vs. v2.

Do I have AHK v1 to be installed (exclusively?) in order to use the current version of QuickSwitch?

This app requires AutoHotkey v1.1+. You should install in manually. After installation, make sure that the .ahk files are associated with the launcher.ahk script, which is located in the AHK/UX folder

Registry path: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts.ahk\UserChoice

Luncher is responsible for choosing the necessary interpreter to run your script.

Installing both versions of AHK let you decide what version to use for compiling.
The setups make this without any additional actions from the user.

I recommend checking everything, it's a good habit

I still get this error from quick switch:

This is my fresh AutoHotkey install:

Shouldn't this detect the AutoHotkey version of QuickSwitch automatically?
As it says, "Auto-detect version when launching scripts".

What's more, isn't QuickSwitch a compiled AutoHotkey program and so should be independent of whatever AutoHotkey version is installed locally?

This is Directory opus error. I'll fix it tomorrow.
