Viewport Options

I would like to use ViewPort's debugger on a project.

ViewPort installed with my admin user path as the default, but I never use the admin login; this causes issues since almost all my development has not been done as admin user. Also I find that I have no control over the Propeller Tool library path ... this is particularly painful.

Any help?

    Hi Jazzed,
    ViewPort currently uses Parallax's Propellent to compile code- so objects must be either in the same directory as the object you're compiling or in the Propeller library. Yes, I too don't like that limitation and am considering switching to homespun- any thoughts?
    Click on the welcome page "browse" button to browse to a new directory- it shouldn't matter where you installed ViewPort.

    Hanno, Propellent has a library option on the command line.
    The tutorials are installed in the admin directory ... extremely confusing.

    I too was lost for a while on where ViewPort put its files. I guess I should give up and put my files where Microsoft wants them, not where it makes sense to me.

    Sorry for the confusion. The last couple releases of ViewPort have put the tutorials in the "My Documents/ViewPort" folder instead of within Program Files... But via the "welcome page/browse", you can add whatever directory you want.
