Blender does not see my Python scripts

I’m running 2.46 on Ubuntu 64. I downloaded the 64 bit Blender binaries and put them in a local folder and created a menu shortcut to the binary like this:

/home/me/Blender/Blender_Program/blender-2.46-linux-glibc236-py25-x86_64/blender -p 5 225 1024 768

I put my custom scripts in the following place but they do not show up in the scripting menus when I run Blender.

/home/me/Blender/Blender_Program/blender-2.46-linux-glibc236-py25-x86_64/.blender/scripts
Could it be something to do with permissions in Linux? Help, this is driving me mad… :spin:

I figured it out. I needed to set the path to where the scripts are located. I never had to do this in Windows.

The default script folder in Linux is /home/you/.blender/scripts. If you put the whole .blender folder to your home directory, you shouldn’t have to set the scripts path.

remember to turn on hidden files so you can grab the .blender folder and copy it to /home/youraccount :wink:
