How to create a shortcut for my sketch.

in General Discussion • Other • 1 year ago

Hi:

I'm a newbie and I have written a processing sketch. Now I'd like to create a shortcut for it so I don't have to open processing to run my application. I've searched for this with no luck.

How can I do that?

Please help.

Thanks,

No luck. Windows complains can't associate a program to that file.

Hi:

I did what you said yesterday.

File-Export Application it cretaed the shorcut Ok.

Today I worked on my sketch again for the whole day and I was saving it from time to time, then I closed it.

Now I can't find the last version of it; but only previous versions I think prior to the Export thing I did??

Where can I find the lastest version I saved?

Anyone knows?

Help please!!!

Thanks.

When you Export Application you make an executable version of the sketch you just saved.

You have to export again with new modifications (this will overwrite previous version).

try:

Menu File | Preferences

then in the dialogue open the preferences file in editor (preferences.txt) - don't change anything.

You can print it or copy it.

There are the last 5 files in it

something like
last.sketch4.path=D:\...........\processing-1.5.1\modes\java\examples\Topics\Interaction\Reach2\Reach2.pde

Ok. Thanks for all the info. I already redo everything new again from my last version while waiting for the reply. It wasn't that much so I just did it again and I learned something new by the way. In any case, I will not export the original file again to avoid trouble until I really needed at the end. I'll just save it as something defferent and export that new file if I need it. Actually I don't need to create a shorcut until I finish all the software. I was just curious about that.
