Here it is in action, installing Notes Reader for example:
HeDaScripts Manager is the way to install and update my scripts now. REAPER scripts can be simple programs that can help automatizing tasks, and other scripts are complex, and become more like an application extension integrated in REAPER, providing new functionalities and enhancing the user experience with REAPER.
Install:
So how does the Manager work? It is basically another Lua script. Install it manually to the REAPER resources folder. The zip has the folders structure inside it, so if you extract it to the resources folder or to your portable REAPER installation folder, it will create the needed directories inside Scripts/HeDaScripts/HeDaScriupts Manager
You may want to read more details in the included Installation instructions.txt file. Once you have copied the files, you can add the script to REAPER actions list with the load button as any other script and run it. This is the last script you will have to install manually. From now on you can use the manager to install/update scripts with one click of a button. It needs REAPER to be connected to the Internet to download the scripts.
Use:
When you run the Manager, it checks online the latest updates available of the scripts, and it presents a list of them with buttons to install them and update them. So no more manual installations, just one click and you are ready to use the script. The Manager downloads the script, and extracts to the resources folder and adds the required action or actions to REAPER. You can now run them from your action list, make a toolbar button for it (the scripts now come with toolbar icons too). The Manager uses curl library to download the files and 7za.exe, the command line version of 7zip(Windows) or unar(OSX) to extract the files of the 7z file into the REAPER resources folder. All are trusted open source programs. You can download them with the links included in the installation txt file.
VIP Scripts:
Some of the scripts are labeled VIP. They are only for VIP members that support HeDaScripts with
donations. Some VIP scripts also have a free version, with less features, but fully functional. Like for example Notes Reader VIP, which has karaoke, and Notes Reader, which is the same but without karaoke function.
