Noob question : would like to rename your folder to mschack

Open 2johjoh2 opened this issue 7 years ago • 2 comments

Is it safe to do so, or are there some (path) dependencies ?

In windows the folders are case insensitive so it shouldn't have a problem. Linux I think is case sensitive and not sure about MAC. Anyway I can't think of anything that is dependant to that folder, all the resources are referenced to what is inside that folder. You can try it, see what happens.

Even on Linux the folder can have any name. This is because Rack search in all folders below plugins/ and will try to load any plugin.so it finds there. The names you see inside the program when you right-click aren't folder names, they are hardcoded inside the plugin.
