Default HeDaScripts Manager




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.

Download:
Download and install HeDaScripts Manager following instructions on my site: https://reaper.hector-corcin.com/

Thank you, let me know if you like it.

Thank you.
It may need some improvements but the important thing is that it works now and it is much easier for me to publish updates.

I am creating VIP accounts manually for those who already have donated 10€ or more, so there is no need to donate again to create the VIP account. You if you have received an e-mail about it, follow the instructions to activate your account and set the password that you can use to download the VIP scripts.

@G-Sun
this needs fixing. But I cannot reproduce it.
which script exactly are you installing? or any?
Is the manager updated to version 1.0beta5 at least?

Was self-updating, so I presumed updated.

Was the STsi here,
but I believe I had same error with other scripts as well.

I am wondering why the self update didn't work. It should say beta5 in the title bar of the window. Beta1 didn't have access to the VIP scripts.
Edit: Please try re downloading beta1 again and install it again.

I have just updated the download links to be beta5. So no more need to auto update to beta5 from beta1 now.
It should work now.

It feels a little messy in my directories.
And I need to manually install.
So, what is right, and what should be deleted?

a little messy indeed
you can delete "HeDa" and "HeDaScripts Manager" under Scripts directory
and leave the good one inside Scripts which is: "HeDaScripts" and its subdirectories.

I have updated the Manager to beta11

This has a new method for installing the actions in REAPER actions list. Because It seems there is not going to be a fix for that particular bug in REAPER 32bit Lua function. So this new method should work on REAPER 32 bit now. I hope this issue is fixed

Default Manager won't install any script anymore.

When i hit install button on any script, installation statred, but after completion its nothing happed. The script not appears to be installed, and no new files downloaded.

Further investigation with ProcMon(I run on Windows) shows that the url in the curl parameter is generated with '0' for spaces instead of '%20'.
For example like: ..."/Import0Export0Subtitles/Import0Export0Subtitles.7z?v=1.4"
So, I can download archives manualy by correcting urls.

But for the icon files, the url generated correctly, and Manager download it with no problem: ..."/Import%20Export%20Subtitles/appicon.png"

I run on the last version of Manager. Today it's 1.2.

Everything was going swimmingly until I got the VIP membership and tried to download VIP Installs. Now I get:
Code:
HeDaScripts Manager__DEV__.lua:648: bad argument #1 to 'open' (string expected, got nil)
This is using HeDaScripts Manager v1.21 in REAPER v.6.36 on Mac OS 11.6

Default Can't run HeDaScripts Manager

I installed today HeDaScripts Manager and now I tried to install some scripts. If I run the manager I receive the error "There is a problem reading updates from the server. Please try again later." and the image is clipping.
So, what is happening with the server and when will be back on line?
I am on windows 10, 64 bit.

the server is fine. try disabling an antivirus if you have it installed, like avast for example, because I have found that it blocks REAPER to connect.

Thanks, I stopped for a while AVG Antivirus and I was able to download HeDaScripts.
But I still have a problem, HeDa_Notes Reader VIP.lua is clipping. What can be?

I'm not sure what do you mean. can you provide a screenshot? you can resize the manager window and make it bigger. is that the problem?

That mean that the luminosity of the frame and text in it is varying.
I have a video but I do not know how to load it here.
But now I have the error

"_DEV_HeDaNotes Reader VIP.lua:2613: attempt to call a nil value (field 'ULT_Get Media Item Note)"

when I want to open "HeDa_Notes Reader VIP.lua".
How to resolve this situation?
