Is there any way to select another location on the same computer for Curio to look for the library files in Application Support?

I have been trying and trying to get all of my templates to show up under the Network section of the Gallery and have failed every time. I have been following the instructions in the manual for networked resources even though it will be on the same computer as there don't seem to be any other references to moving these library files.

Have you tried creating a symbolic link in the application support folder curio is currently look for that points to your network resource?

Hi doubledge. Write me at george at zengobi and let's see how we can get you going.

Actually I bet I know the issue: make sure you don't use a tilde in the Network folder since Curio's not checking for that (since it expects a network folder which is generally a direct path).

So, for instance, set your Network Folder to this:
/Users/gbrowning/Desktop/test
not to this:
~/Desktop/test

Then inside of that directory let it contain the styles and/or templates folders from a normal ~/Application Support/Curio folder. For example /Users/gbrowning/Desktop/test would contain:

styles.plist (a file with "network" styles)
Repositories (a folder with "network" figure stencils and idea space templates)
Project Templates (a folder with "network" project templates)

Then, make sure to re-launch Curio after changing the Network Folder as we cache the entries.

Got it! Thanks.

Though I'm confused as to why Curio does not populate the filed properly when you use the choose button.

I'm make sure it's fixed there.
