How do you keep your script windows to always stay open even when quitting and reopening after effects?

I can open my script windows fine. But when I quit After Effects and come back into it later, my script windows are now closed and I have to reopen them. I'm mainly using the Move Anchor Point and Eaze and Wizz scripts.

It would be a huge time saver if there is a way to keep my script windows open.

I'm using CC 2015.

If you have them docked as a panel in your user interface, they should always reopen automatically when you start AE.

I now have them installed in the ScriptsUI folder. When I open them, I go to Fle, Scripts, Run Script File. I am not given the option to open my scripts in the "Window" panel? any thoughts on this?

Normally, the "Window menu" (one of the tabs at the top of the app GUI) lists all of the dockable panels: first the native ones (Paint, Brushes, Character, Paragraph, etc, there are many) and then, after a separator, all the scripts (.jsx, .jsxbin) located in the ScriptUI Panels folder.

So if you have put scripts in that folder, they should appear in that "Window" tab, and lauching a script from that tab will automatically create a dockable panel (even if the script file is empty).

Try installing the scripts in the Scripts>Scripts UI panels folder instead of launching them from the scripts panel, then restart AE and launch from the Window menu.  If they are left open, whether docked or not, they will relaunch if they were run that way.

Also, in order to dock them - you will need to have them installed in the Scripts>ScriptUI Panels.
