OK I tried it but I get the following Error:

```
--script /home/username/build/mender-convert/state-scripts/Download_Enter_00
	scripter: unsupported script state: Download

```

**Edit:**  
Ok, I’ve found following information in the code:

> <https://github.com/mendersoftware/mender-artifact/blob/master/artifact/scripter.go>

```
var availableScriptType = map[string]bool{
	// Idle, Sync and Download scripts are part of rootfs and can not
	// be a part of the artifact itself; Leaving below for refference...
	//"Idle": true,
	//"Sync": true,
	//"Download": true,
	"ArtifactInstall": true,
	"ArtifactReboot": true,
	"ArtifactCommit": true,
	"ArtifactRollback": true,
	"ArtifactRollbackReboot": true,
	"ArtifactFailure": true,
}

```

And also I’ve found the information in the documentation for version 2.3:  
[https://docs.mender.io/2.3/artifacts/state-scripts#root-file-system-and-artifact-scripts](https://docs.mender.io/2.3/artifacts/state-scripts#root-file-system-and-artifact-scripts)

And it also has been answered here:

> [@Some State Scripts cannot be called](https://hub.mender.io/t/some-state-scripts-cannot-be-called/2048/2):
>
> Not all scripts should be in /etc/mender/scripts, please see the following section in the docs for more information [https://docs.mender.io/2.3/artifacts/state-scripts#root-file-system-and-artifact-scripts](https://docs.mender.io/2.3/artifacts/state-scripts#root-file-system-and-artifact-scripts)

Just for information 🙂
