💡 What: Added SetBatchLines, -1 to Other/Citra_mods/Citra_Mod_Manager.ahk.
🎯 Why: By default, AutoHotkey v1 scripts sleep for 10ms every line to prevent CPU hogging. This is generally unnecessary for modern scripts and slows down loops significantly. SetBatchLines, -1 disables this sleep, allowing the script to run at maximum speed.
📊 Measured Improvement: Static analysis confirms the addition of the directive. No dynamic benchmark was run as the environment does not support AHK, but this is a standard, well-documented optimization for AHK v1 loops and GUI construction.

Summary of Changes

Hello @Ven0m0, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request focuses on enhancing the startup performance of the Citra Mod Manager. By implementing a common AutoHotkey optimization, the script will now execute more efficiently, leading to a faster and more responsive user experience.

Highlights

  • Performance Optimization: The pull request introduces SetBatchLines, -1 to the Citra_Mod_Manager.ahk script. This directive disables the default 10ms sleep per line in AutoHotkey v1, which significantly improves script execution speed, especially for loops and GUI construction.
  • Standard AutoHotkey Practice: This optimization is a standard and well-documented practice for AutoHotkey v1 scripts to achieve maximum performance, as confirmed by static analysis.
Changelog
  • Other/Citra_mods/Citra_Mod_Manager.ahk
    • Added SetBatchLines, -1 to optimize script execution speed by disabling batch line sleeping.

Pull request overview

This PR adds the SetBatchLines, -1 directive to Citra_Mod_Manager.ahk to improve startup performance by disabling AutoHotkey v1's default 10ms sleep between lines. While this is a standard AHK v1 performance optimization, it introduces inconsistency with other legacy v1 scripts in the repository and provides marginal benefit for this particular script's workload.

Changes:

  • Added SetBatchLines, -1 directive to Citra_Mod_Manager.ahk on line 11

This directive creates inconsistency with other legacy v1 scripts in the repository. The sibling script Citra_3DS_Manager.ahk (276 lines with similar file loops and GUI construction) does not use SetBatchLines. Similarly, all other v1 legacy scripts in Other/Downloader/ and Other/Citra_per_game_config/ omit this directive. For consistency across the legacy v1 codebase, consider removing this directive unless all legacy scripts adopt it.

The performance benefit of this directive is negligible for this script's workload. The script performs: (1) parsing a small CSV file (Destination.csv has only 5 lines), (2) enumerating folders from OneDrive (typically 1-20 game folders), and (3) constructing a simple GUI. These operations complete in milliseconds regardless of the batch line setting. The 10ms default delay only affects lines that execute repeatedly in tight loops, which don't exist in meaningful quantities here. Consider whether this optimization justifies the added complexity and departure from other legacy scripts' patterns.

Suggested change
SetBatchLines, -1 ; Run as fast as possible.
