| Hi all.
I agree, the directions are pretty clear already.
I will put RC 5 together tonight. Please check in any bug fixes by 6pm West Coast US time.
best,

so if you followed the directions, then its not possible for the quarks folder to be anywhere else. other than still on the disk image.
so there's nowhere to copy it from.

So, if the quarks folder does not exist in app support, it could test for the preloaded folder and ask if you want it copied into app support... Would that take care of it?

there are a few more complications to it then that.
for the moment its best to have them place it in app support, named quarks, right where the svn quarks would be.
thus is you already have svn quarks, you will know there is a conflict. if you change to svn quarks later, you will know you have to resolve the conflict.
the alternative is to have several quarks folders around ... hilarity ensues. Hi all,
With the release including Quarks, how are users supposed to configure them? Do they need to drag them into the userApplicationSupport dir? If so, it might be better to allow them to be runnable out of the box. This would be easy to do, it is simply a matter of having the directory be an instance variable rather than a call to Platform.userSupportDir.
Here is a patch that illustrates what I mean:
+LocalQuarks { *new { | path, parent | ^super.newCopyArgs((path ?? { QuarksDir.dir ++ "/quarks"}), parent) } }
QuarksDir {
classvar <>dir;
*initClass { Class.initClassTree( Platform ); Class.initClassTree( String ); if (File.exists("preloadedQuarks") ) { dir = "".absolutePath ++ "/preloadedQuarks"; } { dir = Platform.userAppSupportDir; } }
}
