Archived discussion. This page is a verbatim copy of a thread from
community.ansel.photos, the Ansel community forum, which ran from March 2023
until it was taken offline in June 2025 after the site was compromised — a counterfeit
site had been planted inside the forum software, so the whole thing had to come down.
The original address was https://community.ansel.photos/view-discussion/lua-scripts-disappeared.
No crawler ever captured this particular thread, so the text below — taken straight from the forum database — is the only copy left.

Hi,
Quite old Darktable user, I just installed release 26acfc2 of Ansel today on Windows 10.
After activating Lua panel and installing scripts, I can’t get access to the scripts list anymore (in dark room or in light table):
[attachment lost: image was hosted on the retired forum]
Is it normal also that the “Metadata” display panel is not included in the same “container” as Open, Library and Export panels?
Best regards,
Thierry

It looks like you are experiencing the same problem as described here: https://github.com/aurelienpierreeng/ansel/issues/50
The report is quite old and it states that the work on that issue is on hold but maybe you can make something of Auréliens last comment.
About the “Metadata” display, I think it’s normal that it is not included in the container. You can however configure what it shows with the hamburger menu and “ctrl+scroll” to change it’s height.
