Talk:AutoHotkey: Inplace rename facilities

Nice collection! I would save and restore the clipboard in every script. Do you want me to do it?

And one more important thing: use SendRaw instead of Send (the %variable% will be expanded)!

Hey Partner,

I think save and restore of the clipboard is an essential improvement, and you should adopt the scripts.

BTW what is the advantage of sendraw in this particular case?

Hey, Partner

Ok, I will do it.

About your question. Consider this filename: Abc{Enter}.txt

Convert it to lowercase. Send will send abc, then press enter, thus the filename will be cropped. I can think of even more dangerous scenarios with abc{Enter}d{Del}.txt ;-)

Of course this would happen rarely, but we are perfectionists, arent we :-)

Hello,

Thanks for the improvements I was hoping perfectionists SanskritFritz will do it. Next time I promise I will save and restore the clipboard and use sendraw as well ;-)

You're welcome :-) Thanks again for the scripts, nice ideas!
