For a new darktable, a new script_manager

Software darktable
41

What’s in your luarc file?

42

from /.config/darktable/luarc

require “contrib/gimp”
require “contrib/photils”

I also see another , newer luarc file in /usr/share/Darktable/ with much more content.

Possible that dt is not using the luarc from the updated install?

For script_manager to start it has to be in the luarc file, i.e. require “tools/script_manager”. You could remove the other stuff from the luarc file and just have this then use script_manager to start and stop your scripts. It remembers state, so if a script that it started was still running at shutdown, the next time darktable starts, script_manager restarts the script.

Hi Bill-

I replaced the two line luarc file with the longer one from usr/share/Darktable/, started dt, only change is that my photils and gimp functions are goner. Still no script manager showing up in the left panel.

Tried the lua toggles in the dt preferences panel, seems to have had no effect.

Any further help would be appreciated. Next move otherwise is to remove/reinstall?

the luarc in /usr/share belongs there and nowhere else.

in your .config/darktable directory to
echo ‘require “tools/script_manager”’ > luarc

then start darktable and you should have it.
