Praat plugins and toolkit notes
Praat plugins
Praat is extendible, in a few different ways
Run commands that happen to alter buttons file permanently
If you run Add action command: and Add menu command: yourself or from a regular script, it will permanently altering the buttons file.
You can also put that in a script, which will be a "run once to install this" -- but consider the plugin way instead.
Upsides:
- nice way to incrementally make Praat do all the things you want
Downsides:
- over enough time you won't remember what you did
Put things in your Praat profile (Plugins)
Alternatively, place that exact same file in a new directory under your Praat preferences folder.
This will now be run at Praat startup, but not alter your buttons file.
Upsides:
- picking up what's there at each run is easier for development
Downsides:
- a little more work
Site installs
Not really there.
Permanent installation in a "regardless of who runs it" requires at least a one-time run (per user/install).
The closest you can do is have such a one-time install install a script that picks up something from a shared folder.

Not a plugin in the sense of 'adds buttons to the interface', more of a script that when run, initiates a semi-automated annotation.
