How can I find library folder in my library
Apr 9th, 2009, 3:14am  
I am Building my libray.and I would like to find library folder (<sketchbook folder>/libraies ) in my library codes.
How can I achieve it? I can't find the method in PApplet.I want to use in any platform.so I can't use absolute path.

Thanks.

Why do you need this path? Processing is supposed to check/find automatically any library there.

use the sketchpath (sketchPath()) folder, or the current folder.. that way, you can have different settings for different projects.. but be sure to create it, and catch all errors incase you don't have writing privileges etc.

I fear sketchPath won't help, I feel it will be set on the path to the sketch, not to the library (not tested, I admit).
endo-ta, I asked because some people ask question, but giving another way might be better than solving the question... Smiley
In your case, most libraries bundle (read-only) data files in the jar, so they can be loaded as resources whatever their location.
It might not work for a setting file, I suppose, although it would be the first time I see such file for a library! In general, that's the client (the sketch) which provides settings (and persist them).

while running processing, current folder is processing.app folder.so I hung up.

It's very kind of you.

It tries to think again.
