StartupFile

Extension

Description

StartupFile allows easy switching between multiple startup files, so one can keep working on different projects. It writes a text file that redirects to one of the known startup files.// top level convenience - select by gui from known startup files: StartupFile.dialog; // the startupfile that will be loaded next time: StartupFile.open; // the available files StartupFile.fileNames.cs; // which live here: StartupFile.filesDir; StartupFile.openDir; // the defaultPath is where the system looks for startup file; // StartupFile writes the redirect startup file there. StartupFile.defaultPath; StartupFile.openDefault; // StartupFile has some examples here: StartupFile.examplesDir.openOS; // which get copied automatically into filesDir on startup StartupFile.filePaths.printcsAll; // these redirect files need to get overwritten; // in case a non-redirecting startup file is found there, /// that file gets copied to the filesDir with a date-and-time stamp: StartupFile.openDir; // write a startup file that points to an external file path // which typically is a project load script: ~externalPath = "~/Desktop/PumpFriction/00_loadMe.scd"; StartupFile.writeStartupFileToExternalPath('PumpFriction', ~externalPath); StartupFile.writeRedirectFile('PumpFriction'); // make that file File.mkdir(~externalPath.dirname.standardizePath); File.use(~externalPath.standardizePath, "w", { |file| file.write("thisProcess.nowExecutingPath.openOS") }); /// now recompile, and that file should open itself by code: thisProcess.recompile; StartupFile.dialog;
