External cmd/bat/exe

[fvbrandt]

Hi there,

is there a reason why any random cmd/bat/exe or any command is not allowed as External? Or am I just missing something and it already is allowed? Quickly glancing at the source it seems to me that only ahk/filter/jar files are supported. It should technically be possible to launch any command and just not do anything special about it, right? My use case is a python script I wrote which I could wrap in a .cmd, but I could also supply the command line directly.

Thanks!
