AUTOHOTKEY Scriptings

Hey dear guys, I wrote today an AUTOHOTKEY Script - I use this tool since 2 months and I'm not very good in scripting/programing ... but AUTOHOTKEY is so cool too ... and I wrote a small script that works between

PHOTOSHOP and VERVE

  Code:

/*
PNG Importing between PHOTOSHOP and VERVE, with [WINDOWS] + [V]
it is important that VERVE and PHOTOSHOP use the same folder for png exchange
*/
/*
PNG Importing between PHOTOSHOP and VERVE, with [RIGHTWINDOWS] + [V]
it is important that VERVE and PHOTOSHOP use the same folder for png exchange
*/
>#V::
send ^+s ;this is the shortcut in Photoshop for "Save as" - CONTROL + SHIFT + S
sleep 300
send temptoverve.png ; creates in Photoshop the temptoverve.png in one of your last folders, e.g. desktop
*/ 
sleep 300
send {enter}
sleep 300
send {enter}
sleep 300
send {enter}

msgbox, wait until PNG is saved

if WinExist("ahk_exe Verve_painter.exe")
    WinActivate, ahk_exe Verve_painter.exe ; it changes to the VerveWindows if it is active
else
    Run, "C:\Program Files\Sonstige Software\verve_painter.exe" ; it runs Verve
sleep 800
send o ; send o -> load the temptoverve.png file from your desktop
sleep 800
send temptoverve.png
send {enter}   
return


I'm not very good in scripting - but U will have fun ...

If your computer is fast enough, you can delete the sleep-timers or set it lower

Curious idea, Zero! Thanks for sharing that!

I see that the current VERVE Version(s) have soemtimes problems with PNG Importing from photoshop* - it even destroys the VERVE GUI - can you give me/us advises, what the best settings for export?

If I save PNG for web - it runs okay, but for web it will result sometimes a little bit other colors.

edit I changed my script

- maybe, if we have better scripters like me in that forum, he/she can change the messagebox-line code into somth. better one

  Code:

msgbox, wait until PNG is saved

but

  Code:

file = some file path name
FileAppend, %data%, %file%
  Loop {
    FileMove, %file%, %file% ; renames the file to the same file name
   if !ErrorLevel  ; if ErrorLevel = 0 the file write is complete
     break
   sleep, 250  ; kill some time before checking again
  }
  msgbox, Finished

but this doesn't work

Because Saving PNG can take some time ....

Thats my next script, if you use AHK just collect or change it in one AHK file.

PAINTING ON MATERIALS / FIX TRANSPARENT AREA

  Code:

Mask Invert - Verve Only [RightWindows]+[A]
*/
>#A::
sleep 300
send +q
sleep 300
send ^+q
sleep 300
return

[RIGHT WINDOWS KEY] + [A]

Just hit [Right Windows]+[A]

And AHK did send SHIFT+Q .... and CTRL+SHIFT+Q

it saves you 2-3 seconds, but in a year this is maybe a hour
