Custom Event Action Script

Hi,

// First of all, I want to say that I truly love XYplorer and I’m very glad to be a full version owner.
// I also highly value the discussions here, as they help me improve my understanding and everyday use of XYplorer a lot.

My Question:
Where is the script stored that you want to use for a custom action?
The help section states:
· Script: The right column shows the beginning of any script defined for the "Run Script" action. Click into the cell to edit the script. The column's right-click menu offers some useful commands.
A green dot tells you that a "Run Script" action is enabled and a script is defined. A red dot tells you that "Run Script" is enabled but no script yet exists to be run.
But I can only specify there that I want a script to be executed—not which one.

[Settings] section in the XYplorer.ini file
All entries with: CEA_<some name>_Script="<script content>"

Select a script? What?
Click into the cell to edit the script.
You either have to enter the script there or use a load "<path to a .xys script>"; command.
The latter is preferred (easier to edit)

Open your eyes, look at the horizontal scrollbar at the bottom?
