Actions will not record going to the menu ‘File’ and goint to ‘Scripts’ and launching a script. I would like to map a function key to my script. I have an action done in an earlier version of AI so I know this should work. Also I cannot find an ‘Export actions’ anywhere in the flip out menu.

There should also be a Save Actions option when you select an actions set.

This worked! I can’t remember having to do that the last time I added a script to an action.
Thank you kind sir!
I cannot find any save actions in the flip out menu. The screenshot is in Swedish, sorry about that.
