Installation

Install script packages into Studio Pro's Scripts folder:

Platform Scripts folder
Windows C:\Program Files\Fender\Studio Pro 8\Scripts\
macOS /Applications/Studio Pro 8.app/Contents/Scripts/

Note: Scripts aren't retained when updating Studio Pro. Backup your scripts before updating.

Accessing macOS scripts folder
  • Open Finder.
  • Select the Applications folder.
  • Right-click the Studio Pro 8 application.
  • Select 'Show Package Contents'.

Initial recognition

Studio Pro scans scripts on startup. If Studio Pro is already open when you install a new package, restart the application so it picks up the new script(s).

Hot-reloading behavior

For script dialogs, replacing the contents of an installed package can hot-swap script source files, skin.xml, and metainfo.xml changes when the script is reopened. classfactory.xml registration changes still require a restart. For AddIn scripts, a restart is always required to reflect changes as these are scanned at runtime.

Development Tip (symlink)

For faster iteration, symlink a script folder from your project directory into the Scripts folder instead of constantly copying files over:

macOS

Open Terminal, then use:

ln -s "/path/to/my-script" \
  "/Applications/Studio Pro 8.app/Contents/Scripts/my-script"

Windows

Open Command Prompt as Administrator, then use:

mklink /D "C:\Program Files\Fender\Studio Pro 8\Scripts\my-script" "C:\path\to\my-script"
