Help with Scripts

Hello!

Two questions:

1. I discovered the wonderful scripts by John Wundes https://github.com/johnwun/js4ai . I installed the whole thing in "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator 2023\Scripting\", but everytime I go to "File|Scripts|Other Script..." it opens  "This PC", so I have to navigate to the "Scripting" folder everytime. Is there any way to set a default "scripts" folder?

 

2. When I run the "TextTweaker" script to randomize the text baseline, I get an error:

As per the instructions, I select some text, do "File|Scripts|Other Script...", navigate to the script, Open and answer the questions:

 

The direct link to the script is HERE 

Thank you in advance!

 

Diego

you need to select one or more text frames, as if selecting with the Selection Tool (V), do not select some of the characters in a text frame.

There are several ways, but one is to put them here: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator 2023\Presets\(your language)\Scripts\
