Until a few days ago, I used to be able to edit Python scripts that are open the ScriptEditor externally in Notepad++ or VS Code. Whenever the script is saved in the external editor, SE would automatically reload the file.
As of a few days ago, SE no longer reloads externally edited files.
There is what I have tried so far:
a) uninstall all plug-ins
b) uninstall Rhino 8.24, making sure there are no residual files left in C:\\Program Files\Rhino 8
c) Wipe .rhinocode folder
d) re-install 8.24
e) try with a minimal ‘hello.py’ file that is not part of a SE project. hello.py resides on my local hard drive.
… all to no avail. The SE reload is still not working
This doesn’t seem to be an issue that anyone else has reported. I installed 8.24 about a month ago, shortly after its release. All worked fine until a few days ago. This therefore doesn’t seem to be a bug with 8.24 ScriptEditor.
What could be the culprit? May some updates that our IT guys pushed out? Some system security stuff they might have fiddled with?
Thank you for your thoughts.
