WinGetClass problem with simple string comparison

[comsyspro]

here is a code snippet which dosen't work. when the file explorer nautilus is active the string comparison with the class name (also other class names) dosen't work. is this a bug?

^y::
WinGetClass, window_class, A
MsgBox %window_class%

if (window_class = "Org.gnome.Nautilus")
{
    MsgBox Nautilus is the active window
}
return

That's because if ( ... ) with braces is "expression" syntax which isn't supported by ahkx11 right now. You'll have to resort back to the classic

if window_class = Org.gnome.Nautilus
{

instead.

There's a section in the readme about syntax differences https://github.com/phil294/AHK_X11#migrating-a-modern-windows-ahk-v11-script, but a basic if statement is missing so I'll add such one now.

thanks for you quick reply. now it works. the problem was also the string which have to be without quotation marks.
