priority for startup actions

Hi,

Is there a way to specify a priority for startup scripts?

I would like to setup some environment for all the startup scripts (related to cross-platform compatibility), but I don’t really understand in what order are the startup scripts executed.

Thanks,

Peter

Re: priority for startup actions

Do you really mean startup actions or startup scripts (the .st files you put in your settings directory)?

Re: priority for startup actions

they are executed in reading order, so if you name them something10.st, something20.st, etc. they will be in order.

Re: priority for startup actions

another solution is to put all your dependent startup actions in a single startup file… then you can load them in the order you want.

that's too messy

Thanks,
