Anyone using Atom, have you found a decent way to launch it in a user script? Right now I'm using
Code: Select all
C:\Users\-----\AppData\Local\atom\bin\atom.cmd
but it pops up a command window which is not elegant.
Atom's installation is so unbelievably convoluted - there is no simple atom.exe to point to - well, one that doesn't become obsolete with every update.

Use e.g.:
Code: Select all
run """C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\atom\bin\atom.cmd"" ""<variable for the file you want to open>""", , , 0;

Thanks - I got this to work but is there any way to activate the Atom window? Currently the Atom icon flashes in the taskbar and I have to select it manually to bring it to the front.
UPDATE: I had to remove the quotes from <selitems> to get it to work with multiple files, like so:
Code: Select all
run """C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\atom\bin\atom.cmd"" <selitems>", , , 0;

Sure, this variable already puts all of it's items in quotes.

Doesn't happen here... Sorry, can't help
