Loading custom channels

Panorama X

Can PanoramaX find 3rd party/custom channels installed elsewhere besides:

/Applications/PanoramaX.app/Contents/Resources/Channels

I had hoped it could be installed in one (or any?) of:

[for all users]

/Library/Application Support/PanoramaX/Client/Channels
/Library/Application Support/PanoramaX/Server/Channels

[per user]

~/Library/Application Support/PanoramaX/Client/Channels
~/Library/Application Support/PanoramaX/Server/Channels

(Yeah, not difficult to implement on a per database … just want to make sure I’m not missing built-in functionality!)

TIA!

Please see lines 13 and 14 of this code:

There isn’t any real support for 3rd party channels at this point, and no 3rd parties have expressed interest. Where you planning on writing a channel? What sort?

I kind of like your idea for allowing them to be in the Application Support folders. But I’m not sure why there would be separate lists for client vs. server. Also, this would add the complication of possible duplicate channels in different locations.

Thanks for showing the code/comments. :slight_smile:

Regarding “client/server”, no good reason to separate those.
I found an existing “…/Application Support/PanoramaX/” folder that has separate “client” and “server” folders – so, just following the existing example. :slight_smile:
