Standalone Builder Easter Egg

Post by mwieder » Tue Apr 04, 2023 12:33 am

Just in time for Spring Break.
I was looking over some old paperwork and I came across a note that Jacque put in her 2005 RevConWest presenation.
So I followed it up and here's the current version:

Look in your user folder (the one with Plugins and Extensions, etc)
Add a folder called "User Scripts"

Now any library scripts you put in there will show up in the Standalone Builder list of Inclusions for easy addition to standalone applications.

Easter Egg usually describes something fun but not functionally valuable.

This just sounds like an undocumented feature, and one well worth documenting.

I said that? Wow. Neat trick. Maybe this time I'll remember it.

Well, you said the 2005 version when the location was components/save/userscripts, so I just grepped my way through the IDE stacks to figure out the modern version.
