Hi,

I am wondering how you manage multiple versions of Processing on your computers? I have been doing some work in 1.5.1 but now, obviously, I want to start with 2.0b1. I have both versions in my C:Program FilesProcessing folder:

- processing-1.5.1

- processing-2.0b1

This works fine ofcourse.The problem is that the sketchbook location, as well as many preferences is stored in

C:USammiAppDataRoamingProcessingpreferences.txt and hence common for all versions of Processing.

Is there a way around this? Or should I not bother?

Best

That is intentional. When you update Processing, the sketchbook and your preferences should carry over.

Yes, it makes sense I guess.

At least if the 1.5.1 sketches and libraries are compatible between versions. I just thought that since the libraries are stored in the sketches folder it could cause problems if libraries are not compatible.

There are some libraries that will not work with 2.0b1, and that's one of the reasons that it's in beta. Look at it the other way: How difficult would it be to manage to library folders with many overlaps of libraries that are compatible with both versions?
