Shortcut for re-opening RPG Maker project

[Tsukihime]

This isn't something I have to do very often, but some scripts require me to re-open the project after modifying the data files directly.


Which is just a matter of me hitting "File" and then pressing "Close Project" (they don't have a shortcut for this? Ctrl+W?) and then drag/drop my project file onto the maker.


And now the new changes are reloaded.


Has anyone found a faster way to reload projects?

I'm not sure since I've never used it myself, but you may be able to use AutoHotKey to setup a global hotkey to do it. pressing ALT should auto-select the menus on the top of the screen if RM acts like most programs.

If you're running windows 7, you could actually just pin them to your task bar.  Click and drag above it, it'll have a list of recently opened projects there.  You can simply close the maker, and then reopen it.  It'll have the same effect.

Not to mention you can pin individual projects, so the projects you're working on will be at the very top of the list as shortcuts.

Yes, this is very helpful!

This also works in Windows 8(.1) as well. Its task bar in desktop mode works the same.
