Overview

The Script Manager contains the options required to extend the functionality of Amarok through custom scripts. It was reached from the top-level menu Tools -> Script Manager until Amarok 2.4.1. Now, it is reached from the Settings menu, Configure Amarok -> Scripts. Scripts can be installed from downloaded script packages, or from the Manage Scripts button (formerly Get More Scripts installer) which can fetch and install the latest user-contributed scripts from the Internet.
