  1. is it supported? Would it be a feature you are willing to support?
  2. if yes: which paths are searched?

@darix can you raise an issue at Issues · darktable-org/lua-scripts · GitHub?

I’ll look at this and see what I can figure out. It’s doable, but it might take a change in the script installer code to know to look in a different place for the scripts.

is the installer the part that loads things? because the actual installing part would be handled by deb/rpm/…

One nice feature might be that users could superseed scripts with a copy in their home.

The scripts installer is the program that runs when you start darktable and it checks to see if you have the scripts installed. If not, it appears as a module in the lower left and offers to download and install the scripts for you.
