Best practices for uploading add-ons

[ceasless]

I'm happy to announce that my drum sequencer is finally ready to share! Meet Sequins:



I've written quite a few scripts in the development of this patch, and I'm planning to share them all now that I'm somewhat confident that they aren't terribly broken.

The question is, should I upload them individually or as a single "pack"? They cover a pretty wide amount of use cases, so I think individually may make the most sense?

Nice !
and i think the Ceasless script pack is a good idea ?

[ceasless]

Okay, sounds good. I didn't want to just all the sudden clog the add-ons section

How do zip files work in terms of the new in-Usine downloading feature? Do they download and unzip in the background or does the user have to intervene?

[nay-seven]

yes, there are unzip in background , you can test with the homing pad III

Awesome ceasless! Can't wait to try out...I have a Nord Rack 2x interface and Tuning Program I am working on as well and was wondering the same thing. Regarding pictures, background bitmaps etc...I am trying to figure out the best method of uploading as well.
How will the new downloader work handling bitmaps, such as additional knobs, background images, etc... At the moment I have in a different location...just curious what the best practice for this is and how it will be handled on the "downloader's" end.

I've just uploaded the script pack under 'midi on my mind'. Some of the scripts really deal more with arrays but I could only choose one 'genre'. I tried to use BBCode style formatting for the link but it doesn't seem to do the trick thus the un-linked url there.

Also, I may have created the wiki page in the wrong namespace. If so just let me know where I should move it.

@sephult - Thanks! It should be uploaded in some form tomorrow, so I'll be looking forward to your feedback.
