| Proposed drive mappings<br />
| |
| <br />
| |
| Currently:<br />
| |
| U = Used in place of Q for skins/scripts/plugins/vis (and anything else in the root of Q) - currently we check U and then Q for these things manually.<br />
| |
| Q = System (should not be writable)<br />
| |
| P = Profile<br />
| |
| Z = Temporary<br />
| |
| T = UserData - the "masterusers" profile, normally Q:\userdata, but can be mapped elsewhere (on xbox at least) via Q:\system\profiles.xml<br />
| |
| <br />
| |
| Proposal:<br />
| |
| Q = system<br />
| |
| This is where we install stuff, it never changes (except on update), it's not writable<br /><br />
| |
| Z = Temporary<br />
| |
| This is where we store file temporarily. It's not shared between users/instances/runs. Very volatile.<br /><br />
| |
| U = No idea what to call this<br />
| |
| Store mutable data here which doesn't belong to any user. Is there anything we need besides profiles.xml? Should this be writable by scripts or only xbmc itself?<br /><br />
| |
| P = profiles<br />
| |
| Give some default profile to begin with, can create more profiles. If some file doesn't exist in here, read from Q. On write, copy from Q and make changes.<br /><br />
| |
|
| |
|
| New names<br />
| |
| Currently we support Windows like drive mappings. This is only because of the xbox, and moving forward we would like to change this to a protocol string (system://) or an environment variable (ENV[system]). Proposed names:<br />
| |
| Q -> system://<br />
| |
| Z -> temp://<br />
| |
| P -> profile:// or user://<br />
| |
| U -> global://? Do we really need this? It should only be writable by the app itself.<br />
| |
|
| |
| Another possible naming: xbmc://system@path
| |
|
| |
| More suggestions:<br />
| |
| We should perhaps have "drives" for plugins, scripts, skins, themes, sounds (since those are subjects to install) and also we need a user (for userdata/scriptdata) and one userdata/scriptdata (globally for all users)<br />
| |
| <br />
| |
| Have no real idea what to name these.
