[Cuis-dev] Cuis directories

[Hilaire Fernandes]

Hi,

We need some explanation regarding the Cuis' directories. Some may be 
obvious, but there are questions.

I suggest we discuss there, then I will compile as a Explanation 
documentation.

Here are the directories found in the DirectoryEntry class side:

cuisBaseDirectory

currentDirectory

projectDirectory

userBaseDirectory

coreUpdateDirectory

packageDirectorry

trueTypeFontsDirectory

fileOutsDirectory

logsDirectory

newPackageDirectory

savedChangeSetsDirectory

userChangesDirectory

userDirectory:

roots

smalltalkImageDirectory

vmDirectory

workingDirectory


Before proceeding with each one, I have a general question. How are 
managed these directories when constructing a bundle application (with 
DyboApp its top folder), which will likely reside outside of the 
Cuis-Smalltalk-dev directories structure?

For example, I observed that with a Cuis application, built on a 
subdirectory structure of Cuis-Smalltalk-Dev, its userPrefs.txt file 
(relative to userBaseDirectory) is saved in the Cuis-Smalltalk-Dev 
directory.

When I move this application bundle outside of the Cuis-Smalltalk-Dev, 
the userBaseDirectory is changed to the top folder of the Cuis 
application (here DyboApp/), the former userPrefs.txt is lost and a new 
one is created in DyboApp/


I already document the -ud option at start-up.
