Working with modules from Lua scripts in darktable

you could try this:

require“examples/Darktable-Initial-Workflow-Module-1.2.0/InitialWorkflowModule”

this points to the file directly, without script manager. If you do not need script manager, you can comment it out with –

– require “tools/script_manager”

second option: You can extract the script files somewhere else and use

package.path = package.path … “;[any path]/Darktable-Initial-Workflow-Module-1.2.0/?.lua”
require “InitialWorkflowModule”
