Wish Multiple folders AdditionLibraries/SharedModules paths

[udg]

Hi all,

what do you think if those paths would allow multiple folders?
I'd like to organize Modules in a way where B4X classes are kept separate from B4J/B4A specific ones.

Another roption could be the introduction of a new B4X-dedicated folder. I don't know. Just an idea.

TIA

Don't use shared modules at all. This feature is only kept for backward compatibility. You can put the modules in any folder you like and link them.

The ability to reference modules is a game changer for cross platform development in B4X.

I used this for years by just pointing B4A & B4i to the same shared modules folder which was in my sources folder just like the B4A, B4i & B4J folders.

But indeed a little bit structure keeps things more clean, in my case it's a mess of 1 folder with a lot of these .bas files.

I used to keep Additonal Libraries and Shared Modules folders separate for each B4x product. Now I introduced a new folder "B4X" where I store B4X-only and XUI-B4x modules letting the link mechanism manage how to collect them when needed.
Something like this:

Development
    B4A
      ExtraLibs
      ExtraModules
       ....
      Projects
      Tests
    B4J
       same as above
    B4X
       xModules
       xuiModules

This way I can still distinguish between pure-B4A/B4J modules/libs and B4X ones.
