Shaders Library

In V2, as in v1.x the Shaders Library (Windows) is located at Documents/HeavyM/ShadersLibrary. As this is local and unmodifiable all shaders added have to reside on the local drive. I, as many others may do, hold all 'assets' (Pics, Video, Shaders etc) on a separate hard drive so local OS space is preserved.

Is there a configuration option for this, and if not??, it is badly needed.

Best regards and well done on V2 release.

  Hi BenBen,

  you can use Link Shell Extension - Schinagl (Windows) to create a symlink to a path on the external drive.

  Backup the folder Documents/HeavyM/ShadersLibrary.

  Delete your "Documents/HeavyM/ShadersLibrary", go to your folder with all the shaders and right click "pick link source", then back to your folder "Documents/HeavyM", right click "drop as symlink".

  Rename the symlink to ShadersLibrary. Voila now your library is linked.

   

  Best Regards 

   

   

   

   I doing this all the time because all my libraries are on a external drive.
