How can I start an evaluation of the initialization cells when a notebook is opened? Should I use FrontEndExecute[] in some way?

  • $\begingroup$ You can do this with FrontEndTokenExecute["EvaluateInitialization"] but note that even if you make this Dynamic you will still need to enable Dynamic for that notebook before it will work. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ You'll understand that is a security risk, so short of placing the notebook in a trusted directory, no. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ By the way, placing FrontEndTokenExecute["EvaluateInitialization"] a the beginning of the notebook, cause a "running" loop when i click evaluate initialization cells from the menu $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ NotebookDynamicExpression is an option. Please read the documentation. This should not be in a cell as obviously that cell will be evaluated every time you run the initialization, which will re-run the initialization, etc. $\endgroup$
