# executable_manager

## 🔗Name

executable_manager.lua - a tool for managing external executables used by darktable lua scripts

## 🔗Description

executable_manager is a tool for managing the executable preferences stored in the darktablerc file. On startup the darktablerc file is scanned and a widget is built for each executable path. The user can select the executable from a drop down list and then modify the settings as desired.

Any changes made using executable_manager won’t be saved in the darktablerc file until darktable exits, but the preference is updated when the change is made so scripts will pick up the changes without restarting darktable.

## 🔗Usage

- start this script from script manager

## 🔗Additional Software Required

None
