Please help adding tools! How do I do it?

in Integration and Hardware • 1 year ago

I am running Ubuntu 11.10 with Processing 2.0a and I am having some annoying problems adding tools.

I tried putting both "fjenett-doodle-79cea35" and "fjenett-simplelivecoding-66160f0" in the tools folder that is located inside the folder that I put all my sketches in at default (I guess that is the sketchbook folder).

I then opened a sketch and when I clicked "Add Tools" it didn't show up as a tool I could to add.

After that, I went into the specific sketch that I was going to run and I created a tools folder, copied the tool into it, and tried it again. Still no luck.

Does anyone suggest I try something else? Am I doing anything wrong? Are there compatibility issues?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Karl

I just tried (on Windows), and admittedly it is confusing...
Actually, I suspected something, so I renamed the folder from fjenett-doodle-79cea35 to Doodle. This is the name of the main jar in the tools sub-directory of this folder. And after restarting Processing, it worked!
Looks it uses the same logic as libraries. The funny folder name comes from Git which auto-generates these names.
