The script functionality is a plug-in. Scripts can be added to a Container and stored with the Scene. It is possible to archive and import scripts as part of a Scene Archive as with any other plug-in.

A script can also be saved as its own script plug-in, and used in future Scenes (see Create Script-based plug-ins). To save a script as a script plug-in, drag a compiled script into the Script plug-ins folder. The Script plug-ins folder is a special folder that lets users create and name plug-ins.

WARNING: A script plug-in is not stored in the database, and is not distributed with an archive, because it is code and not data.

There is an important difference between a script that is not converted into a plug-in, and a script that is. As long as it is not converted the content of the script code is data within the ’Script’ plug-in, just like the width property is data within for example a geometry plug-in. Once the script is converted to a plug-in it is a plug-in itself, like any other plug-in.
