A new place to let people know about your custom python scripts for Paratext

Question

Welcome to the area for Paratext Scripts and hacks. I’ve seen a number of these floating around and recently learned of someone who has a Google drive folder with a bunch of different Python scripts that can be added to the Paratext menu. I realized that we did not have a good place to put these. The Paratext website is too public, as we don’t want inexperienced people messing with these, so it seemed like a good idea to create a space on the support site. You’ll have to self host your scripts and link to them here, but at least we can find them all in one place!

Answer 1

Here is the link to the folder of Denny Emser’s additional tools which appear in the Scripts > Unsupported menu once installed. There is no installer as such. Just grab the scripts that you need and drop them into your C:\My Paratext # Projects*cms* folder; then restart Paratext in order to see them appear. Currently, these tools are available:

Note that there are some further instructions about “TransferParallelPassages” located here.

Comments

Did this folder get moved somewhere? I’m interested in seeing what other people have done, but clicking the link brings me to an empty folder. Thanks, -anon062569

@Den Please see the above comment about the folder being empty.
