The gig file I’m working on these days is called “rockband”. I want to create reusable scriptlets to be used in any of the rackspaces in my “rockband” gig; is it necessary to save them as separate files or can they live inside my gig file? (They’ll be meaningless outside of the “rockband” gig because they’ll be relying on code that’s in my global rackspace script, so I don’t want them to be available in other gigs.)
Since it seems that the only option is to save them as separate files, I poked around and noticed that in the standard Presets folder there is a “Deskew Technologies LLC” subfolder with some nice little scriptlets in it, so by analogy, I created a “Rockband gig” folder alongside it. When I went to save a scriptlet there, I got an error message:
ERROR: Non Standard Location
Presets stored outside their default folder location will not appear in favorites or preset menus.
Saved location: C:\Users\Solomon\Documents\Gig Performer\Presets\Rockband gig
Expected location: C:\Users\Solomon\Documents\Gig Performer\Presets\Deskew Technologies LLC\Scriptlet
However, it seems to have saved successfully in spite of the error, and now when I right-click in my wiring view to add a plugin, alonglide the “Deskew Technologies LLC” submenu I see a “Rockband gig” submenu with my saved scriptlet in it. This is exactly the behaviour I was hoping for, because I don’t want my “rockband” scriptlets to be mixed in with any other non-“rockband” scriptlets, and I don’t understand why it’s an error.
Is it the case that I’m expected to save all my scriptlets from every gig under “Deskew Technologies LLC\Scriptlet”, where they’ll be a distraction when I’m working on other non-rockband gigs? What problems will I be causing for myself if I create more folders for better scriptlet organisation?
