Search in project directory for files before installation directory

It would be better if files (samples, presets, soundfonts, etc) were
looked for in the project directory first, and if not found then in the usual place (like /usr/share/lmms/samples). This would allow us to package our LMMS projects and use them on another machine or send them to another person. For this to be feasible, the full path of the files should not be stored if that file is detected to reside in the same directory as the *.mmpz file. This again would mean that LMMS should ask for a filename right at project creation. Does this sound like a good idea? Currently, people have to go track by track and reload the samples/presets/etc of every track when I send them my project. I suppose the problem gets more severe when you send a project created in Linux to a Windows user; there not even the default shipped files can be found (/usr/share vs C:\Program Files). I could probably try to code this myself if you people think that would be a nice addition. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!

Hello Nikos!

Are the samples in some path that LMMS knows about (and thus can scan when you reopen a file)? Does this sound like a good idea? Currently, people have to go track by Really. That doesn't seem right based on what I'm seeing. I tested on LMMS 0.4.2 from ubuntu which is pretty old. I tried adding the sample via the library as well as the file browser view to /usr/share/lmms and both times I got a relative path name, which seems to indicate LMMS figured out that the sample was in the library. As for the feature itself, I would agree that it's a good idea. Maybe there are some caveats though. This could also be accomplished by supporting zip files, either with a new export plugin or as a real save format or some combination.

Nikos,
When Tobias finishes the resources framework, this problem might very well go away. I suggest sit tight and then see if you need to address this problem after the new resources framework is done. Andy On Tue, Oct 13, 2009 at 4:28 PM, Nikos Chantziaras <realnc@...> wrote:

Yes, this is all quite moot. In the future, all resources are
referred to by a hash-code. Also, the new zip-based file format will allow bundling resources as well as referencing resources stored remotely (like on LSP). -Paul On Tue, Oct 13, 2009 at 8:59 PM, Andy Kelley <superjoe30@...> wrote: > Nikos, > > When Tobias finishes the resources framework, this problem might very well > go away.
