How do I set the default open software for InDesign scripts?
The original default script editor in adobe is not installed. Can't you open it with other software?
Is it extendscript toolkit software?
I don't want to use this. I want to open it with vs Code by default. How to set it?
You can right-click on the script file in the desktop/folder and choose the default app/open with... and choose vs code.
There is a check box to remember this setting for all files thereafter.
I know that.
I want to open it directly in the InDesign window with the default program
hi, you can choose default app and use below code to run your script
var file = new File('full path') file.execute()

Hi @dublove, If you are referring to adobe’s ExtendScript Toolkit, it is a 32-bit application and it may be your OS no longer supports 32-bit apps? On OSX you would need OSX Mojave or earlier to run Adobe ESTK, not sure about Windows.
Currently the best 64-bit option is Visual Studio Code with the ESTK extension installed:
"I want to open it directly in the InDesign window with the default program"
do you mean you want to open a script in InDesign's Scripts panel in VS Code directly?
I think this cannot work if the ExtendScript Toolkit App is installed.
I would make it a two-step process:
 Show in Explorer
 Context menu of the selected file > Execute with VS Code
