Question

Why I am getting always a "No script by the name xxx.lua" for every created lua script?

Hello,

I am playing around with the Lightroom 6/CC SDK. I want to extend the CustomMetaData sample project and create a new lua file name CustomTagset1.lua. Then I copied the content of CustomMetadataTagset.lua (from the sample) into it. Extend the Info.lua. After reloading I am getting the error No script by the name CustomTagset1.lua.

What is the problem? All files are in the lrdevplugin folder.

Thanks

Thorsten

The most efficient way to troubleshoot this: Zip up the entire .lrdevplugin folder, upload to Dropbox, and we can take a look.

An remark: I tried this on Mac OS 10.11

I was able to load the plugin with no errors, and the custom tagsets appear to work fine:

Try restarting LR.  If that doesn't help, does the path to the .lrdevplugin folder contain any non-ASCII characters (e.g. accented characters)?  What is the exact full path?
