"notify" request

[dj_d]

Many people rename my scripts before running them, breaking Z's fabulous registry.ash script. May I request a version of notify that takes a second argument, a string that is used in place of the filename? That way I can do

notify dj_d, "EatDrink.ash"

and the kmails will all parse properly.

I think that this belongs under feature request... and I agree.

I keep having to add a line to registry.ash to change the kmail to match my official name.

Gee, that would be swell!

I'll make a feature request since all three of the people who use this the most agree that it is a problem.

 

[dj_d]

yay us

One more itty bitty request: make the value of the "script" setting available somehow via ASH, so I can programatically prefix any script-specific profile settings with it.

 

[Bale]

You do realize that is incredibly easy to solve? The value of script is defined as a constant so just do this.

script "EatDrink.ash";
notify "dj_d";
script = "EatDrink.ash";

 

[dj_d]

OK, yes, true. I guess it just bugs some general sense of rightness in the world to have to set two constants in two places when one would do.

 

[Bale]

I can understand that.
