First a huge thanks for LBB. I have been using LB as a development and prototype tool for some time and the only issue I have with LB as a final use is those extra run-times. Anyway, LBB is the answer in spades. The resulting single EXEs are so fast and tight I cannot believe it.
If you want an example of what LB and LBB can do in terms of speed - take a look at IQPDF.COM and download the IQPDF runtime and the works of Shakespeare or maybe the KJ Bible to test it on. I will not go into IQPDF here - but it is a very very fast PDF search engine.
Anyway, maybe I am not reading the documentation properly, but I have a problem with my current project, which uses a number of small modules. Because I am using 'INCLUDE to reuse core code I have a lot of recompiling to do to make sure the changes migrate properly. When I use the command line switches on LBB to try and automate the sequence, I keep getting the prompts for 'result filename' & 'overwrite' etc that need an input and thus screw up the batch file sequence.
I could write an AUTOit script to get around this, but I have the feeling that I am missing a -switch. Am I ?
Thanks in advance

No. The 'Save standalone executable' dialog always appears, to give the user the opportunity to choose a different name/path for the EXE or to select a different icon.
It would be possible to add a new switch to bypass that dialog, but then the EXE path/name would be the default and the icon would remain unchanged (either the default, or whatever was used in the existing EXE).
Would you like me to consider adding such a switch in a future release?
