user module folder

[oli_lab]

Hi,

I have a folder on my computer to store my own user modules, in C:hollyhock/persolivar/usermodule

what will happen if the same module is present in that folder as well as in the usine's addons folder ?

wich one will load when a patch is loaded ?

I am concerned with modules not updated online while I made minor updates on the ones in my personal folder

cheers

Hi,

I have a folder on my computer to store my own user modules, in C:hollyhock/persolivar/usermodule

so, you access this personal folder by the library tab, not the module tab ?

what will happen if the same module is present in that folder as well as in the usine's addons folder ?
wich one will load when a patch is loaded ?

i think the patch will try to load the module you used when you constructed it, but i have to check with senso

I am concerned with modules not updated online while I made minor updates on the ones in my personal folder

what do you mean by 'not updated online ?

ok, so here is the behavior of usine to locate a module:

1°) search in the usine distrib folder (and subfolder)
2°) search in the personal library folder
3°) search at the same level of the patch/workspace file (useful in case of exported workspace)

if more than one file in one of those stage, the first to come up (alphabetical exp^loration of folders) is the one used


Hope it help

yes

>>what do you mean by 'not updated online ?

I made minor changes on my own modules but not yet uploaded the new ones on the addons page

>>Hope it help

yes it does

the priority should be to seach for the personnal folder first, makes life easier for the module developper, isn't it ?

many thanx
