I'm still in the early days of using the sts plugin but I believe the
restriction on not having the script editor window open at the same time is
to avoid clashes if edits are made to the same script in both places.

You did the obvious, and restarted LC after placing the plugin right? If
you didn't restart lc, and you don't want to, an easy way to force a

I am having the same problem. The plugin doesn't load and it's not listed
in the Plugins menu or in the Configure Plugins menu. This is with LC 6.6,
and yes I did restart LC after installing it.
I opened the plugin manually from the File Open menu and set it up to use

This kind of visual drag-and-drop programming UI has been done (and will
continue to be done) for decades, and works pretty well for simple logic.
The whole build without writing code concept is pretty big right now.
But visual programming becomes unwieldy and difficult to follow when logic
gets
Good for beginners, yes. But also for speciaized areas of a workflow, like
navigation defaults. I didn't say lets make a UI that doesn't require any
code. The Automation Engine I use has tasks that are for specialty
purposes, but also within this workflow environment you can add a external

Single vs multi window does not matter as long as the editor is up to scratch
and I can view
Excellent progress. With that foundational work out of the way it would
