DTS Exporter for Blender: where do I put it?

[TheQuestion]

I have Blender (yes, I've used it before) and the DTS exporter. But where do I put the exporter? Help!

Thanks. I have a mac, though, so I still don't know where. Do you know where it goes on a mac?

A little help from GOOGLE WHICH YOU DIDN'T USE.

There is a .blender folder. It's hidden. You need to find a way to make hidden folders visible.

I use Tinkertool which is free (Google it, I don't have the URL). Install Tinkertool (easy) and select 'Make hidden files visible' (or something to that effect) then have Tinkertool restart the Finder. all .* files will be visible in the Finder and will be accessible justl like regular files - be careful though when mucking around inside your System folder.

Anyway, with the hidden files visible, ctrl-click on the Blender icon and a menu will appear - select 'show package contents' (or something like that) and you will get into the Blender package. open Contents -> .blender -> scripts. Copy your script into that folder, start up the Blender app, go to the scripts window, select 'update menus' and viola! It should appear.

However, when putting in a folder rather than just a single python script, I have found that most of the python scripts disappear from the Python menu. I'm going to ask around here about this weird behavior.

Yeah, the .DTS exporter does that for me, too.
