#Project Portability
Hi Folks,
Here's a suggestion for Version 3 to improve the portability of projects
and objects.
Back when I used Videoscape 3D I loved the way that it took the directory
in which a SET file was kept as being the base location for other files.
i.e. in Imagine terms, if a project called 'Cube' on DH1: has an object
listed in a staging file as `Objects/Cube.iob' then
`DH1:CUBE.imp/Objects/Cube.iob' is loaded. If the directory CUBE.imp was
moved to a different location, then Imagine would take `Objects/Cube.iob'
as being within the directory in that new location. Similarly with brushes
etc.
As a rule, all of my projects are in a logical assign calle `IM:' and so I
can move things about fairly simply, but I have seen a number of objects
with associated brushes, and complete projects uploaded, and working out
where everything goes is currently a bit of a nightmare.
