In the past I've put my components at P:/Repository which is a network drive but that doesn't work well if I take the laptop away from the network. I now want to install the PXL library. Here's a bit from the readme file.
This product requires either Embarcadero Delphi XE 8 (or any later version) or
FreePascal 3.0 with Lazarus 1.4 (or any later versions).
When used with Embarcadero Delphi, the following platforms are supported:
1) Windows 32 and 64-bit
2) Mac OS X
3) Android
4) iOS 32 and 64-bit
Installation is quite straightforward, you just need to add full path to
"Source" folder in IDE's "library path" for each of the platforms. Please visit
our web site for additional installation instructions.
The question is where is a good place within both the WIN-10 and WIN-7 OS world to put component source folders instead of a network drive? The MyDocuments folder tends to have the user name associated with it. If the RAD Studio is updated the locations change from 18.0 to 19.0 to 20.0. Seems silly to keep moving source code
