Bloatware free version of Pulover's Macro Creator

Pulover's Macro Creator, adware-free (PMC-AF)

Overview

Pulover's Macro Creator (PMC) is a free automation tool and script generator built in AutoHotkey. It features a large range of automation commands, has a built-in recorder, and can capture inputs in its interface. The macros can be executed from the program itself or export to AutoHotkey scripts for advanced editing. Learn more at www.macrocreator.com

Adware-free

PMC-AF provides an easy-to-install fork of PMC without bundling any unnecessary software. PMC's default installer includes sponsored bloatware "Web Companion" and has for years, and Pulover has not shown any intention of removing it.

See removing bloatware for details on how to remove Web Companion.

Yes, this project might be better named "bloatware-free" but "AF" is just such a fun acronym :)

Translations

You can make corrections to the interface language translations inside the application itself (Settings > Language editor). You can submit your corrections or new translations from there too. To translate the help file, use the markdown files in Documentation\MacroCreator_Help.ahk

The application is prepared to recognize a help file in the same directory of MacroCreator.exe, if named according to the .lang file of the currently selected language. For example, if the help file is for Chinese Simplified it must be named MacroCreator_Help_Zh_CN.chm or MacroCreator_Help_Zh.chm.
