Instant-ish : Caveats
uMen (well, Maya, really) knows about all scripts it can find when it starts up. Afterwards, however, any new ones can become slightly slippery for that active session.
If you create new scripts with new names, they will be able to work right away through the menu, but any references to them from other scripts may fail since Maya is not "aware" of them yet. To make Maya aware of new scripts you'll need to do what is called a "rehash". The refresh button in the core of uMen will do this for you.
Keep in mind this problem will only present itself in the active Maya session if you add a script during it. The next time you open maya, the new script will have been part of the inital startup and is accounted for.
Setup : Notes
You may wonder if you need to pick only "root" paths which are already part of your MAYA_SCRIPT_PATH. You don't. You can pick directories anywhere. The menu will add what you pick (and all it's sub-directories) to the script path. You shouldn't have to add anything manually. scripts you can get at through the menu should all "just work".
