Including Often Used Library Files

Post by mightycpa » Wed Mar 17, 2021 1:45 pm

It would be nice to be able to customize the default script that loads in MS when you create a new one from the editor. If we could drop something like this in there:

Code: Select all

Let %LIBRARY_DIR%=C:\MS_SCRIPTS
Include>%LIBRARY_DIR%\MyLib.scp
that would be very convenient.

Wouldn't this make more sense?

Code: Select all

Let>LIB_DIR=C:\path\to\library
Include>..\file. scp
This way the ".." double dots are replace automatically by the LIB_DIR variable
Let>ME=%Script%

Now that I think about it, the variable doesn't make sense at all. It's MY system, right? Or yours?
So that location is not likely to ever change, or if it does, only once in a blue moon. Therefore, I think this makes the most sense;

Code: Select all

Include>C:\path\to\library\file.scp
