My complaint, however, was with the syntax irregularities of the
AutoHotKey script language.
OK, so that looks weird as well. My double condolences. ;)
Maybe their 'recording' part inserts delays equal to what
time it took the user to move/click through things, which would, for the
most part, create an appearance of working most of the time.
That may very well work, if you are repeating a set of GUI actions
exactly. But how often would you, for example, perform the same set of
edits on the same file? You will more likely want to repeat the actions on
a set of files, one after the other. And like it or not, that gets into
actual programming, with variables and loops and all the rest of it.
And this programming is trying to automate something (a GUI) which was
never designed to be automated.
