rev 68 : custom sketchbook location on MacOS X
« on: Feb 9th, 2004, 5:25pm »

Anyone have P5 saving sketches outside of the app folder on OSX?
 
I can't seem to get P5 (version 68 ) to save sketches anywhere else but the default location...
 
the relevant line of the pde.properties file would be appreciated!

from pde.properties:
 
# preliminary for rev 0047, can point sketchbook at  
# another location. this can be a full or relative path
# no promises on how well this works, and note that  
# a 'default' directory will be created inside it,  
# which is where any new sketches will be thrown.
#sketchbook.path=sketchbook
# note that this path should use forward slashes (like unix)
# instead of \ on windows or : on windows or whatever else
 
this hasn't been tested much, and isn't particularly recommended, since it seems to have some quirks (i.e. it reads properly, but sketches are still created in the default location in some cases). and filing bug reports will do you no good, since this piece of code will be overhauled for the next big release.
