How to use old and new library versions
Feb 19th, 2010, 1:24am  
Hi, is it possible to have an old and new version of a library install? you see I still need to have the old library because if I update and replace all my sketches wont be able to compile, so I wonder if its possible to keep the old version of the library and the new version, any suggestions?

I already try a different name for the new version but is not appearing in the Processing IDE, and also if the rename works I think it may break something in the package

Cheers

Yes, I think you are out of luck, unless you recompile one version to use a different package name...
A workaround would be to have a script (shell, cmd, etc.) to switch library folders depending on the sketch to run...

Use the rename facility provided by your system (Windows? MacOS? Linux?)
Nothing automated in my mind, just a manual, but easier, switch...
Needing a restart of PDE each time!
