Hi all,
i’m doing my first steps in getting into Lua scripts, but i already stuck:
I just copied an editor action script to $(home)/.config/ardour7/scripts (the scripts folder didn’t exist, so i created it), renamed it, deleted all inside the functions and edited the header, so i have an empty lua script, which should do nothing.
I thought, i would find the script inside ardour in the script manager, but it doesn’t appear there.
What do i miss?
Btw, if someone has a good source for ardour lua tutorials (i already found the video of david healy, which is very useful), i would be very thankful!

Use the Refresh button which is found in two places:
- Edit > Lua Scripts > Script Manager > Add/Set > Refresh
- right click on one of the action script buttons > Refresh
Either one.

Hmm, I already did this, but I still can’t find the file in the list.
File extension I’ll bet. Lowercase L: “.lua”.
Oh, that’s crazy… i swear, I tried this already too with lower case beginning extension and it did not work!
However, now it does!
Thank you for your quick reply!
That screen capture GIF really helped. What did you use to make it?
I use “peek” on Linux mint
