I’ve created script_manager.lua to install, update, enable and disable the darktable lua scripts. It’s available at https://github.com/wpferguson/script_manager.
Download it and copy it to ~/.config/darktable/luarc (linux and MacOS) or C:\Users<username>\AppData\Local\darktable\luarc (windows). Start darktable and script manager will be in the lower left pane in the lighttable. script_manager uses git to install and update the lua scripts directory. On windows the git program location needs to be set in the configure tab. On MacOS it might need to be set, if script_manager can’t find it. After the scripts are installed from the repository, you can enable or disable them with the click of a button. The scripts are divided into “categories” based on the subdirectory they live in under the lua directory. For developers: You can create extra directories under the lua directory such as development, testing, etc. You can also create symbolic links to other places in your file system. When you are compiling you can click the enable button for the script you are writing. If it doesn’t load because of a coding error, you can just correct it and click the enable button again. You can repeat this until you fix all the syntax errors and the script loads. Changes after the script loads still require a darktable restart.
