Feature request: Ability to make several instances of Scratchpad point to the same directory for txt-files
Hi! Thanks for a wonderful mod!
I have two instances of DCS, an open beta and a stable one. I would like to use the same scratchpad library of txt files for both of them. This functionality doesn't seem to exist currently.
Kind regards
Hi, thanks for the feature request! You should be able to solve this use-case without Scratchpad having to directly support it. You could create a symbolic link between your following two folders: Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Scratchpad and Saved Games\DCS\Scratchpad. The keywords windows create symlink directory should get you the instructions on how to create such a symbolic link. Does this work for you?
Yes, I'm sure it would, thank you.
I'm not a big fan of symbolic links in Windows, and while I don't understand the mechanics of hooks and DCS scripts, it seems like both SRS and Tacview supports several installations without much effort. No worries tho, if it becomes more pressing, I'll try the symbolic link solution!
Kind regards
I use symlinks for scratchpad, screenshot, mission and input folder and it works fine.
I can confirm that this works! Cheers!
