That's still a missing part. > Hi JLuc, Personally, I prefer that there is a generic script out there that can be used by a wide variety of users for a variety of purposes. If I wanted to streamline the operation, then I would make another version, which, for example, might only run in one language and have all the settings hard-coded rather than using dialogs, then call it autotypo_fr.py The other thing I have done at times is to combine a series of dialogs asking for parameters into a single dialog, with defaults. The default for autotypo could be fr 1 O and then the script uses the python split function to break this up for 3 responses. If it's a script I use frequently, it can be beneficial to streamline it. On the other hand, if it's something I haven't used in a while, I like the reminders for what the defaults are as I go through. For scripts like this, Undo-ing the effects of the script is rather tedious, since there will likely be quite a number of Undos to do.
