_I want to finish my editor scripts!_

I am starting a couple of small bounties. Each bounty is available for the first person who submits a PR that implements one of the feature requests as described below. It will need to be accepted and merged for the donation to be collected. I will donate through Paypal.

## `editor.get(id, "parent")`

I want to get the id of parent nodes within an editor script. With this I will be able to get more accurate positions.

Issue: [editor.get(id, "parent") · Issue #5370 · defold/defold · GitHub](https://github.com/defold/defold/issues/5370)

Donation: $50

## [COMPLETED] Directories should be resources.

Fixed by @vlaaad in [https://github.com/defold/defold/pull/10651](https://github.com/defold/defold/pull/10651)

I want to be able to right click on a directory/folder to create resources within them.

Imagine right clicking on a folder and having the options to “Create monarch scene”, where it creates all 3 needed resources for you, as opposed to now when you need one of them created.

Issue: [https://github.com/defold/defold/issues/5372](https://github.com/defold/defold/issues/5372)

Donation: $50

## [COMPLETED] Access to all outline properties.

Fixed by @vlaaad in [Allow getting/setting more properties using editor scripts by vlaaad · Pull Request #10587 · defold/defold · GitHub](https://github.com/defold/defold/pull/10587)

There are a lot of properties you are not able to get. I would love to be able to get them all.

Donation: I only really have need of `pivot` so if it’s too much work to implement them all you can implement only that one for a smaller donation.

- Only the `pivot` $12
- $2 per other implemented property there are afaik 20 in total (max: $38 (even if there are more than 20))

Issue: [https://github.com/defold/defold/issues/5371](https://github.com/defold/defold/issues/5371)

This is much needed guys 🥺

It is natural, even for simplest scripts I want to create to add a command when right clicking on directory, e.g. create components in given directory, do anything in given directory.

Either make it a resource as proposed, so that it works for directories:

```
query = {
            selection = {type = "resource", cardinality = "one"}
        },

```

Or add another type for directories (imho it would be better):

```
query = {
        selection = {type = "directory", cardinality = "one"}
    },

```

Two out of the three bounties have been completed and confirmed!

Who should I make out the bounty of 50$ + 50$ towards? 🙂  
@vlaaad you fixed them both, should my donation go towards the Defold Foundation or you personally?
