indesign script starts aftereffects

I have a jsx script that I have been using successfully for 6 months. The script calls indesign and outputs a document.

The first line of the script is #target indesign-11.

Now when I run the script, After Effects starts up and reports that it can't create my document.

This happened a week again, and then somehow remedied itself. Everything was working fine yesterday. Today I have been using Premier Pro for video editing. I then switched back to doing InDesign and my script is back to starting After Effects instead of InDesign.

I'd really like it if #target indesign-11 just started indesign. Any thoughts?

I call the script from python. Here is the command

p1 = subprocess.Popen(['open', '/Users/apple/Documents/Adobe Scripts/IDauto_free1.1.jsx'], stdout=subprocess.PIPE)

This request is handled by extend script.

Thanks

Simon

Did you upgrade the version? Better use #target indesign instead of #target indesign-11.

No haven't upgraded. I noticed yesterday that if I do not have indesign running then the script will start indesign. But if I do have indesign running the script will start after effects. What kind of madness is this?
