New recent document tool script. I ran into a snag

Aha! SendKeys...

Will need to take a closer look at that. Maybe a small "stub" VB script could be the answer.

I was pretty becoming pretty sure this was a dead end and would require Mike to "fix" AS himself. I honestly think it is quite annoying to have a new instance launch each time you double click a file... then again... you could have multiple instances running... one to render and one for editing. Such a quandary.

This looks promising and it's free:

Autoit

AutoIt sounds a lot like AutoHotKey, I'll have to check it out when I find the time.

Autoit looks great. I can create a teeny tiny simple exe to "run" when using the recent document tool which will just tell the current instance of AS to open a document. Very cool. Very simple.
