Please tell me your own managing oF projects

Hi,

Please tell me your own managing oF projects.
Recently, my apps folder is getting messy.:tired_face:

So, Iā€™ve made symbolic links of oF libraries (libs and addons folder) to ā€œ/ā€ and ā€œ/Usersā€ and ā€œ/Usesr/usernameā€ directories.

As a result, I can create and build oF projects except in apps folderā€¦

If you knows some tips and your own managing oF projects, please tell me!!!

thanks

I primarily have a ā€œmainā€ openFrameworks folder and use that for starting projects and experimenting

openFrameworks/apps/myApps
openFrameworks/apps/cameraApps/someCameraApp

if I am doing a ā€œrealā€ project I then use an entirely separate openFrameworks instance for it

PROJECT_FOLDER/openFrameworks/apps/MyProjectApps/MainApp

that way any tweaks/addons specific to that project are maintained with the appā€™s source and I can more easily compile years later (as long as OF can still run on the OS/Platform)
