Cannot find Script Manager

Fri Aug 14, 2015 4:37 am
I was excited to see scripting capabilities with Kexi, so I thought I'd give it a go ...
After flipping through several flavors of Linux (I am currently using openSUSE Tumbleweed) so I could get a current distro of Calligra installed (I am at 2.9.6), I do not find the Script Manager under the Tools menu item as documented here - http://www.kexi-project.org/wiki/wikivi ... dbook.html

Is there a specific install of kexi that I am missing? Other required packages that aren't being flagged?

Thanks,
Blaine

Scripting is enabled by default, unfortunate combination of things happened here :)
* The above is a development wiki page for Kexi 1.0, not a Kexi 2.0 Handbook (volunteers needed to migrate it to http://community.kde.org/Kexi)
* Scripts are marked experimental in Kexi < 3.x

Please forgive.

In Kexi 2.0 scripts are accessible in the Create tab: https://www.calligra.org/kexi/attachmen ... rt-design/

Good news: script are going to be first-class feature in 3.x :) Also in forms, reports, and I hope elsewhere.
This will be JavaScript language only as this is the only option with sane level of security. (yes, Python devs gave up on the idea of sandbox)

PS: The Scripts subproject home page is https://community.kde.org/Kexi/Plugins/Scripts.

Thanks. That explains my confusion.

Sorry to hear about abandoning Python.
