Launch Grasshopper at Rhino startup?

What is the easiest way to start Grasshopper automatically when Rhino starts?

Since Grasshopper Player commands need to first launch Grasshopper and I use GH pretty much every time, I would like for it to just launch with Rhino automatically.

Ideally, it would be the same “silent” start that GH player does, where it does not load the GH UI.

I assume you could put one of the -Grasshopper commands into the “Run these commands every time Rhino starts” field in the settings…

Got it. I just created a GH player file called open.gh:

then in the settings under “Run these commands every time Rhino starts”:

-_GrasshopperPlayer " *path to file* \open.gh"

works fine and you don’t even see the loading screen during startup. Gives a visual feedback in the command line. Obviously startup takes a few seconds longer now.

Thanks :slight_smile:
