What's New in SDL
Detecting language please wait for.......
I recently discovered AutoHotKey and want to automise the typical process of adding a file to the open project in SDL Studio 2017 Freelance, preparing without TM, switching to the target language and opening the file for translation. Is there a way of selecting the file I just added to the project Files View list? - for example selecting it by name, or by sorting the list by date of adding and then selecting the latest file or any other method usable in AutoHotKey that would select my just-added file for further processing? Thanks a lot.

I think you might have to work out the keyboard shorcuts for this and then use them in AHK. The only other way is probably to use the API and this may not be possible for you unless you know how to develop (in which case why use AHK?) and you have the Professional licence since the project creation API is not available to a Freelance licence.
But I'm by no means an expert with AHK. Jesús Prieto or Former Member might have a better approach.
Thanks Paul, but such a shortcut in SDL, not in AHK (or another way of selecting the most recently added file) was the goal of my question. But thanks for your quick answer and for the recommended names. Much appreciated.

There isn't one... you'll need to string together a number of shortcuts. Possibly using a combination of dedicated shortcuts and simple Alt commands that activate the ribbons.
