So we would have a new structure that looks like this: image

and inside each folder are the DYNs (tested and working in each Revit version): image

What is really really cool about this methodology is we can potentially support package management on this free version with this structure. We would essentially require one more folder within the version folders called packages, and when Relay runs, it will set that path as your current package path.

That would be great, if you could work out the menus by version! I wrote a comment about the packages, but after re-reading your last statement, I understand now.

I would suggest splitting this into packages and Toolbar then into Revit versions.

Just in case any toolbar scripts need to have a folder called packages then things wont get mixed up.

I am leaning towards using something like _packages, which would then be a "reserved" word. I don't want to go too deep into nested folders.

This would also mark a 2.x version of Relay as this is a major change

Completely understandable about the new version. I think by having specific folders named for each version of Revit they are for with a packages subfolder under each, 2021/packages, 2022/packages, etc. That's complex enough to help keep everything separated. Any type of personal customizations above and beyond this, would be icing on the cake.
