I got my script to work if I put it into the projectfolder of the FMOD project by creating a /Scripts subdirectory. Placing the exact same script in Users/XX/Application Support/FMOD Studio/Scripts folder does not work, the script does not show up in FMOD studios Scripts menu.

Should it be put somewhere else if I want it to be available indendent of a specific project?

Hi,

Thank you for sharing the information!

If you want the script to be available for all FMOD projects, the correct [global macOS path](https://www.fmod.com/docs/2.03/studio/scripting-terminal-reference.html#script-files) is:  
`~/Library/Preferences/FMOD Studio/Scripts`

Please note that the Library folder might be hidden by default, you can access it by using `Go to Folder` and entering `~/Library`

Hope this helps!
