KBar can't "Run Script File..."

Question

I use a fairly popular extention called KBar. One of it's uses is to launch menu items with a button interface.

However when I try to use it to "Run Script File..." it throws me an error "Affer Effects worning: Attempt was made to run a second script while another script was already running. Scond script was not run. Try launching AE with the -ro or -so flag to override this behaviour."

This was not a problem with ftToolbar another "depricated" toolbar extention.

When I contacted the vendor, they said that something changed at Adobe and that they've contacted you about it.

So I hope that you all might be able to fix what ever changed, or allow this one command to be possible with KBar and other tools.

Thanks.

None that I'm aware of.

Again. That's not the problem I'm reporting. Just the inability to create a button that executes "File>Scripts>Run Script File..."

So all you want is to have a dialog box popup to select a script file and then run that script? You can easily rewrite that functionality like this:

var path = File.openDialog('Run a script', ['*.jsx'], false);
if(path){
    $.evalFile(path);
}

It sounds like an issue with the script file. Is it a script you wrote of from somewhere else? Do you get the same error when you run it directly from AE without KBar?
