These settings control how AutomationView behaves when you open and work with Sequence files.
| Setting ID | automationview.pythonPath |
| Type | string |
| Default | "auto" |
| Scope | machine |
The path to the Python executable used by the AutomationView language server. Set this if AutomationView cannot find your Python installation automatically.
"auto" - resolves Python from the system PATH."python3" - uses that command from PATH."/usr/bin/python3.12" or "C:\\Python311\\python.exe" - uses that exact executable.This setting is machine-scoped, meaning it applies per computer and is not shared through version control.
{
"automationview.pythonPath": "/usr/bin/python3.12"
}
| Setting ID | automationview.actionToolbar.favorites |
| Type | array of objects |
| Default | MOVE, TON, CTU |
