multiple project directories

#1 Post by kuroi » Sat Aug 15, 2009 10:17 am

Today, I was working on a few different projects at the same time (cuz I'm crazy like that) and I was thinking that it would be nice if we could have multiple project directories for Renpy to look in to find projects in Renpy 6.9.3

I was going to put this in feature requests but it occured to me that I might be the only one nuts enough to get a lot of use out of multiple project directories so I thought I would ask you guys out there before I bother pyTom about this.

So... what about it? Would anyone else get much use out of having Renpy able to look in several different folders for projects without having to be set for another specific project directory?

To tell truth I don't really think there is a reason to keep projects in multiple directories. Having them in single directory actually have the advantage of easier backup and management of the projects.
On the other hand having them in multiple directories only seems to make things messy and unnecessary complicated - and I'm speaking from practical experience. I have my projects in multiple directories and I'm trying to get everything in one place lately, so I don't have to search for whatever I need every time I want to work on something I haven't touched in a while.
Practice makes purrrfect.
