[JW Lua] JWLua Digest, Vol 87, Issue 1

[Jacob Winkler]

From my experience and understanding, you can access existing FCCategoryDefs along with their associated parameters, but you cannot create them. Perhaps this will change in the future with RGP Lua… I certainly would appreciate the addition as I’ve made several inelegant scripts that contain logic along the lines of “if category x exists use it, else use miscellaneous “.
