Support Folder Path?

[Kirkwood West]

trying to get the support folder path... and it seems like these both return null...

I'm running these in my init()

Code: Select all

getExtensionDefinition().getSupportFolderPath()
getExtensionDefinition().getHelpFilePath()

this seems to work fine

Code: Select all

getExtensionDefinition().getName()

Am I missing something? is it delayed somehow? or broken implementation?

Digging deeper it looks like those paths return null in the extension and have to be overriden. But what do I override them with?

Code: Select all

Paths.get(System.getProperty("user.home") + "\\Documents\\Bitwig Studio\\Extensions\\"+ "file.txt");

Maybe this will work for the time being on my windows machine but i suspect it will break moving to mac os.

Had a discussion quite some time ago:

Don't whether this still works or not. Probably nothing new to what you already found out

That is super helpful. thanks u-u-u. Searching through here tends to pull up many non-relevant results and will never let you search by a single function name so it makes it difficult.

For now I just hardcoded a path and save these details for later.
