Description

Hi

I see some poeple made scripts. But there is no central place where all scripts are gathered.
What if you could make a repo on the Tiled website that collects scripts poeple can send to you?
If approved, it can be added and users can find them all there.

Then maybe in Tiled can be made an extensions window that reads the repo and allows you to install/uninstall the extensions from within Tiled (it just copies the script or removes it). Users can search the extensions and each extension should have a description what it's doing. This could maybe be stored in the script itself (as comment) or somewhere else on the repo, so Tiled can read it.

After some time the repo will become very powerfull since every action will be in there and people can contribute to existing scripts.
The repo should be maintained by somebody who makes sure no harmfull scripts are uploaded, so it must be controlled by somebody.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by surveying how Tiled currently handles scripts and extensions, then define the repository, review process, metadata, and install/uninstall behavior before implementation. Done would require an agreed, maintainable design rather than a single isolated edit.
