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 !
Same on Ubuntu (Gnome).
Is it intentionally?
*
*
*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?
o 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?

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.
Enjoy,
Bill
