Bill, this is BRILLIANT! I’ve been waiting for it ever since you had mentioned it over a year (or 2?) ago. Thank you :-)
As a MacOS user (running dt 2.4.4 on OS El Capitan 10.11.6), I have the following observations: The enable settings don’t “stick” Anything enabled and running successfully is automagically disabled upon the next startup of dt ! The optional “downloads” directory is limiting Because I regularly tend to clean-up my downloads directory, any extra lua scripts sitting in there are at risk of being deleted and thus unavailable to dt Wouldn’t it be a better idea if one could choose which directory holds extra scripts? Yes, I understand that one could create additional directories within the lua directory into which special scripts can be placed but… Special lua directories at risk of disappearing after an update (?) Wouldn’t a git pull result in the deletion of any special directories created within the lua directory? > On 19 Aug 2018, at 05:27, William Ferguson <[email protected]> wrote: > > I’ve created script_manager.lua to install, update, enable and disable the > darktable lua scripts.
