Defininfg the location of <xyscripts>

Hi, I've had a separate folder for my XYplorerTB version since day one of the TB version, but I'm constantly updating or changing scripts and I don't like keeping my well over 1000 scripts in both my XYplorer VB version and TB version. Stupid question from an old man, but what's the proper way to define or redirect to <xyscripts>. I didn't see any "xyscripts" key in the ini file. I'd like to direct my TB version scripts to my VB version scripts which is: "D:\Tools\XYplorer\Scripts". Well unless someone has a better temporary workaround. I am using the TB version the majority of the time.

Must be done on the filesystem level.
Delete the real "Scripts" folder in your <xydata> folder for the TB version and then use, e.g.:
mklink /j "D:\Tools\XYTB\Data\Scripts" "D:\Tools\XYplorer\Scripts"

Wow OK, I figured there might be a XY built-in way of doing that. Similar to the thumbnail folder but requiring a change to XYplorer.ini. Thanks highend for the info, but I don't think I want to do that. I'll continue doing what I'm doing and hopefully at some point soon the updates to the VB version scripts folder will not be required.

You can achieve this via Paths section of Admin.ini if you have ent lic, which from memory you do.

Yeah, with an enterprise license you could create an
Admin.ini file in the XYTB folder with this content:
Code: Select all
[Paths]
Scripts=D:\Tools\XYplorer\Scripts

Thanks jupe and highend, I didn't realize what I had for a Pro Lifetime was called Enterprise License, but yes I checked, I do have that license. Thanks.
