Bonjour à tous,

J'ai créé un script qui me permet de choisir quel document ouvrir. Mon problème est que j'aimerais que ce script s'éxécute automatiquement dès le lancement de Illustrator quand aucun document n'est encore ouvert.

Bonne journée

create a Startup Scripts folder in the default Illustrator folder and place the scripts you want to run there

C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator 2023

Ah! I was over-complicating it, I thought we needed to script Illy opening too.

it happens, you were going the generally speaking way (which it may work) but illustrator has a way to natively handles startup scripts.

Take a look at 4 here - https://www.guidingtech.com/top-ways-to-run-apps-at-startup-on-windows-11/

I don't know how to do it, but it's possible you can have a PowerShell script launch Illy and then your script.
