Symbolic links to .vst folder

[jarkko]

I think there's one detail in the installer that could be done better. The symbolic links should rather use relative paths than absolute paths.

E.g. here's how Hive is linked:

Code: Select all

.vst/U-he/Hive.64.so -> /home/jarkko/.u-he/Hive/Hive.64.so

This works as long as you are using the same computer, and home directory path does not change. I recently stumbled to this issue, when I wrote a script to backup my DAW environment, in order to use it temporarily on a different computer that I normally use for making tracks [1].

I resolved the issue by changing the paths relative. E.g.

Code: Select all

Hive.64.so -> ../../.u-he/Hive/Hive.64.so

I think this would be a better default.
