Question About Shortcut Creator In ARC

Hi, I have some issue with the Shortcut Creator in ARC: when i select a script in the Auto Start Script step (step 3), it never starts when the project is open via the shortcut. I have tried with an autoconnect script, but also with a simple script saying "hello" (like in the tutorial), but no success.

Disable those features in the preferences menu of ARC. Preferences is a menu interface for ARC software to enable and disable options for your preferred operation. Lots of options in there!

Don't forget to hover on the question marks in the preferences menu for additional information of each option.

Since we're on the topic of preferences, I thought I'd take this opportunity to put in a request. Would it be reasonably feasible to put in a preference option for the scripts editor such that the automatic lower-casing of keywords could be inhibited? I prefer to have them as mixed case and would like to see them stay that way. I do that now by having the Start In part of the shortcut to a given project file set to a directory other than the default ARC directory. Problem is I also lose all color coding as well when I do that.

And ... since I've gone this far, I wonder if it would be possible to change the editor feature in which matching sets of parentheses are highlighted? Currently they are highlighted by changing the background color of the parenthesis character. This can be difficult to distinguish when highlighting the characters between the set of parentheses for a copy and paste operation. It always looks like the parentheses are being included in the copy. So, I was wondering if the highlighting could be modified to show a change of color instead, with the background remaining the same? I have been working with Maxscript lately and that is how they do it. I find it easier to use. In addition they use red to indicate that a given parenthesis is not yet matched by it's opposite, which is also handy.

Just a couple of suggestions. Certainly nothing dire or critical to usage. For all I know I may be the only user this anal about these points. :) But I figure no harm in asking.
