SFACT Profiles and Alterations location...

[kliment]

That's an sfact-specific thing. It's what makes it portable, that is,
you can copy the entire sfact folder to a different machine and keep
your settings. The code for that is in archive.py in sfact.

When I first ran SFACT directly, the Profiles and Alterations were in the "Skeinforge_Application" folder. Then when I ran it from within Pronterface, I ended up with all the adjusted settings lost... thought it was wierd, but turns out the profiles, and alterations end up inside "sfact_profiles" just under the main printrun folder.

is this expected behavior? - IOW, is it known that SFACT puts the profile folder within the folder you launch it from, rather than in your home folder? - so then should we be copying this folder to wherever we intend to run it from? and then what? we have to remember to disseminate all the modifications to all the various locations?

anyway - just wondered if it was something that pronterface was doing wierd, or sfact.

OK, so shouldn't it use the settings inside the SFACT app folder, and not create them fresh inside the pronterface folder then?

It creates them in the directory it's run from.

is it possible to add an option in the options dialog for SFACT Startup directory? Or does that have other negative repercussions?

It is possible and yes it does cause a number of issues. I'll look into it.

This is now a non-issue since you can customize the slicing and slicing options commands.
