JBenghiat Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 No, not using python or VectorScript 1 Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 If you are on a Mac you might be able to use AppleScript to send the script to VW if you use the AppleScript to launch VW, but as Josh says, there is no automatic way to run a script on file open in VW. Quote Link to comment
Hippocode Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Yes this is only possible using the SDK. You could create a small SDK project that runs a specific python script on startup or any other event if you don't want to bring over the full script. Quote Link to comment
