adding a script in pixinsight for a seminovice

Brook Belay
in PixInsight
Hello,
I am trying to add a script manually to Pixinsight/src/scripts.

I download the javascript, create a new folder manually and extract the javascript into that.
Then when I go to Add the script (Feature script->Add) I am told no files are found in the newly downloaded folder?
But I see the folder and script in a separate file folder window.

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks

    HI Brook,

    This is one of those things that cannot be solved without seeing your computer (situation). 
    Some rules:

    1. The best way to do this is get the repository URL if it exists and let PixInsight manage this.
    2. If you already have a copy of the script in some form- it will not update (or see a new addition). You might need to rename/delete an older version.
    3. In windows (you did not say), extracting to a directory can be problematic if in the Program Files ("protected") area. You can always put the script somewhere else on your computer (especially to test this situation).

    Thanks, 
    It's the GAME script. I certainly don't have it already.
    I'll try and get the URL and work through repositories.

    Brook,

    Here's the URL for the GAME script:


    Go to Resources / Updates / Manage Repositories and add the link... then perform a "check for updates"

    I would like to add... in several places I show a screenshot of my current repository list. 
    This might be something to consider mirroring...
