Merging various builds of QB64 into the one folder set
« on: November 17, 2019, 07:52:47 am »
Based on my previous success of running two instances of QB64x64 on the one laptop - I wish to have three instances running.

Currently I am experimenting with 3 versions of QB64x64 (1.3 and two dev builds) saved in

R:\BASIC\QB64_1.3\qb64
R:\BASIC\QB64_dev\qb64
R:\BASIC\QB64_exp\qb64

and wish all three to be merged into

R:\BASIC\qb64        only

I find it very confusing to "hop around" the various folders for instance to get to my programs and it would be easier for me to have say my programs in the one place (accessible by all three qb64.exe, IDE etc).

There is duplication between the three qb64 sets (e.g. Programs\Samples) which would allow only one copy to service all three QB64's. I realise that two QB64's would have to be recompiled but would like help in identifying which files have to renamed to allow me to do this - eg I would rename the required files with Exp_ and Dev_ prefixes. I will have different IDE background colors and compile options etc.
