  • System Folder

    From Robert Calco@21:1/5 to All on Tue May 11 13:56:13 2021
    I'd like to make changes to the startup folder to customize/brand a product I'm designing that is based on the full Dolphin professional image, but adds a lot of domain-specific features based on edition.

    I could use some pointers about how to go about this that allows me to:
    - move dev tools to a dev subfolder
    - create new subfolders in my new root
    - add applications and tools to my new toplevel root directory

    Really I'm asking for an explanation of how the design around the system folder concept works so that I can highly customize it for my needs. I know it's discoverable with enough time to plumb the depths of the image itself, but any suggestions or
    pointers that save me time will be deeply appreciated.

    Also important: I'd like to know how best to capture these structural changes as steps I can repeat as new releases of Dolphin itself come out. So, more information about how package installation can be customized is also something I'd love to hear from
    Dolphin long-timers that may be out there.

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi Bob

    Andy Bower did a Youtube vid a while back and he talked about adding and removing launchers/icons to the sample folder in the system folder. I am sure it would be straightforward to work your way from there.

    He starts talking about it here: https://youtu.be/u3I3AYeeIec?t=1077

    The system folder is also mentioned in the helpfile, but only that it is implemented by the class SmalltalkSystemShell.
