how to deal with sketch list which is too long and without a scroll bar

in Integration and Hardware • 1 month ago

How do folks handle this? Or am I missing some kind of setting. At this time I am able to see only about half of the sketches I've been working with. I then have to use "open" which puts me in my home directory from which I have to navigate to the sketchbook.

I checked preferences.txt, but there seems to be nothing about configuring the sketches list, or for setting the base directory for "open".

Curious about how you all set up your working environment.

Thanks much.

I've got the same problem too!

Although I've already got separate sub-folders for different kinds of sketches,
some of them are already too "full" to display as a list from top to button for loading.

There wouldn't be much of a problem if Processing's IDE had some kinda auto-scrolling.
But for now, I guess I'll have to create extra alphabetical sub-folders inside my theme sub-folders as well!

And that would help out a little more if <CTRL> + <O> opened straight inside my "sketch folder".

Yes, it is an old issue. As GoToLoop, the simple (?) solution I use is to create sub-folders, by themes for example. Or by date if you want (year, then month, then day), or anything else structuring your sketchbook.

If they made a window like the Examples one to browse the full sketchbook, that would have been awesome.
