External scripts with Smart Rules: when does DEVONthink reload them?

DEVONthink

If I use an external script as the action of a Smart Rule, it appears that DEVONthink does not re-read the script if I change the script contents. I’ve even tried to temporarily edit the Smart Rule to use a different script, then change it back to the one I wanted, in an effort to try to trick DEVONthink to re-read the desired script, but it doesn’t seem to happen. Changes made to the script don’t seem to get picked up.

Is it necessary to restart DEVONthink 3.5 to make it “notice” that a script has changed?

I believe it’s the same for external script that is attached to smart rule. So, u need to restart DT to recompile the script.
