Updated to V4 (Mac)
Been trying to find some up to data information on V4 and scripts use on the forum
Do the old scripts still work in V4 ?
Where do you put them now / which MOI folder if they still work ?
Is there a compiled list of scripts created - I used to have a curve rebuild / Ionic volute or spiral script [I forgot to save my old scripts when deleting V3 Moi - Doh!]

Also is there a simple non techy list of changes and updates to get a quick overview of what to look out for in V4 from V3 ?

Hi Andy,

re:

Yes like 99% of them do. There are a few that needed minor updates.


> Where do you put them now / which MOI folder if they still work ?

You can put them inside the app's "commands" folder same as v3 but v4 also now supports putting them into a central location in appdata.

The appdata method is better because new MoI versions will find them there and you won't need to copy them around again.

The commands appdata folder for Mac is at ~/Library/Application Support/Moi/commands . I recommend to put them in there.

There is on the "Resources" page: http://moi3d.com/resources - look for "Burr's script archive" and "Max's file archive".

I've been meaning to finish that up. There is some info here though:

Thanks Michael most helpful and appreciated as ever

Hi Andy,

You might find this helpful when adding scripts to MoI: an Extras menu at the bottom of the UI which displays a list of your scripts. This is a modification of a component of Max Smirnov’s CustomUI that can be used by itself. The two files get unzipped into the personal startup folder: ~/Library/Application Support/Moi/startup

Great thank you Larry & Michael

Hi Michael
Re: The commands appdata folder for Mac is at ~/Library/Application Support/Moi/commands . I recommend to put them in there.

Ok not quite sure where theses scripts go in V4 Moi on a Mac OS-10.14.6 been hunting for a while now
I cannot find application support or appdata within MOI folders - I can find an Application Support folder on the MAC by doing a whole computer search, but it is empty - apologies not that Techy so its not 100% clear where the scripts should go.

Unfortunately Apple has decided to hide the Application Support folder to make it more difficult for people to do stuff with it.

In Finder you can use the "Go to Folder..." in the "Go" menu and put in ~/Library/Application Support/Moi/commands and that should get you to the right spot. Note the ~ (tilde) symbol at the start, that's a shortcut for your home folder inside /Users.

There is another "Application Support" folder off the root Library. You don't want that one you want the one in your user folder.

You can also use Cmd+Shift+. to temporarily show hidden files, or use one of the methods mentioned here:
