Folders and files (suggested changes)
« on: Sep 27th, 2004, 4:10pm »


#1: Allow for all data files and code files to be
placed in centralized directories. For example,
"code" and "data" but, instead of underneath every
sketch, underneath the main processing directory.
I have students using my .jar and everytime I update
the .jar there is this massive copying operation
to all of the sketch code folders. It would be far
easier if we could all copy the libraries to one
place.
 
#2: Speaking of directories and files, it would be
very beneficial to use a file explorer in the IDE
so that the PDE files could be located anywhere. With
#1 in place, this would be possible since we would
have to drag common libraries and files to each  
sketch location.
 
#3: double-clicking on PDE file brings up the IDE
with that file. I know this has been mentioned before,
but I include it here since it relates to the topic.

in the future, one suggestion per post, please.. we use the messages to track each suggestion (see the "implemented suggestions / bug fixes" board)  
 
re #1.. this is implemented for 0070, at least in terms of libraries. a library represents a single "code" folder that can be imported.
 
re #2.. we don't want a full file explorer, since this isn't intended to be a full IDE, we'll leave it to the OS. if you need a full IDE, we strongly recommend something fancier. however, in 0070 there is a file -> open that lets you open a sketch from anywhere.
 
re #3.. we're on it. patience
