Re: [sc-users] Extension directories - nasty hack required

[blackrain <blackrain.sc@xxxxxxxxx>]

yep thor it works. nothing has been changed afaik.

I have never tried this using the standalone project but this is how I do:
take a standard distro folder and move scsynth, plugins, recordings,
SCClassLibrary, and Help into the app's bundle Resources folder.
create a dummy synthdefs folder there - this wont be used but scsynth
looks for it when it boots and will whine if its not there.
make an alias to the recordings folder and drag the alias out.

quarks (obviously) will not work but you can always symlink  from
inside SCClassLibrary to the quarks folder in your extensions.
help for quarks will be broken too, so you may want to add symlinks
from the help files inside the installed quarks packages to a folder
in Help.

scsynth will still look for ugen plugs in the extensions folder (or
last time I checked it did) but this never resulted much of a problem
to me.

I do agree that an extensions (boolean) in info.plist would be nice...
hmm how would linux ppl deal with this?
