Interesting. How did you test this? Did you try the lazarus-dir parameter approach? IIRC one can make everything relative to lazarus-dir and then pass lazarusdir on the cmdline (though that is mainly meant for portable versions, the problem is the same). The only problem I see is that fpc will have to be installed in the lazarus dir everywhere. I don't think this is very usuable for really complex situations, but could be useful for a little test. > Just my argument for splitting up the config, into something like > shareable IDE settings (layout, shortcuts...), and machine or > installation settings (with pathes). I think this is horrible complication of afairs without much benefit, morever since usually most multiple lazarus installations will span multiple versions, it is flat out unworkable. > Currently I have to locate the default configuration directory, what's > not so easy on Windows, and move or rename it, before I can e.g. install > another snapshot or branch. I never use the global dir. I simply use a batchfile to start lazarus that sets --lazarus-dir and pcp. I think that if you want to fix issues like this, the installer is the place to work. It should allow "advanced" or movable installs. -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
