Hi.
It'd be nice to have an option to use a different editor to edit .py files and have SharpCap notice when a file changed. I use VS Code for several other environments and it'd be great to use it with SharpCap, too. I don't think this would take any sort of integration work with other tools. Maybe something like noticing when the SharpCap window gets put on top, it could check the opened file last modified date, then reloading the file if it had changed.
Totally new and just starting with SharpCap scripting so maybe I'm missing something obvious. It's always nice to have smoothness between the editor and the debugger.

Re: Scripting: enable external editor
Hi,
just to check that I am following this - are you currently working with the .py file by editing it in the lower section of the SharpCap scripting window? I can certainly see if there is a possibility of 'reload if file on disk changed and no modifications made in the editor' feature.
cheers,
Robin
