The original idea behind the script came from all the mailing list questions about how to install, how to enable, etc and the realization that a lot of people wanted it to "just work" without tinkering. The downloads directory is the baseline. If you know how to modify the lua directory, then you can add much more. If you don't, then you have a place to put random scripts you download. ____________________________________________________________________________ darktable user mailing list to unsubscribe send a mail to [email protected]
