Lua scripting additions that would be nice to have :)

As I'm working with Octane's scripting there are some things that it would be nice to have.
In the octane.file.getSpecialDirectories() function it would be nice to have the set scripting directory available as well. Maybe something like:
octane.file.getSpecialDirectories()["userScriptDirectory"]
would be awesome. Thanks

Hi Jason,
Phew, I was scared you we're going to ask something really difficult
We'll add it in 1.24.
cheers,
Thomas

I'm just going to keep adding things here that would be nice to have in Octane's Lua API.
Additional dialog types, it would be nice to have an information and/or success dialog types to inform the user when something happens or that it worked. I'm currently using the error dialog but in some cases it would be a bit jarring on the user.
Thanks,
Jason

It would be nice to have access to the color picker widget and the collapsible groups.
Thanks,
Jason

We can expose a colour swatch and more dialogs in 1.25. I'll have a look at how difficult collapsible groups are.
cheers,
Thomas

collapsible groups (like in the standalone preferences) will be part of 1.26. If I get to it I'll post a small example tomorrow.
cheers,

Hi Thomas,
I was working on updating the turntable script to work in 1.28 and realized that once I did that it would only work in 1.28. It would be nice to have another script header variable that would have the version of Octane that the script works with and give an error if it doesn't match. Something like a @requiresVersion 1.28 or simply @octaneVersion 1.28? It might be nice to be able to specify a range?

Perhaps you should put it in the file name so it shows in the Scripts menu?
TurntableG for 1.28+
