Anyway, so far, so good. Both synths seemingly can detect, load and use those presets just fine without any noticeable access issues or lag times. But this got me thinking, there's probably lots of scenarios, where using such symbolic links instead of duplicating copies of files to different locations could be used.
So I was wondering if anyone more experienced (who has been using symbolic links for some time) has run into any possible issues or situations that might occur when using them, especially within the context of a music production environment / workflow?
For example, I have for a long time now, already moved my default 'Image-Line' User data folder over to a custom location, with no drawbacks regarding DAW usuage, having pointed FL Studio to the new location via its internal settings: Options > File settings > User data folder.
But now I'm wondering if that step was even necessary, if I had instead created a new symbolic link for the moved 'Image-Line' folder under the default '../Documents/' location?
Is this possible and are there any negative aspects at all anyone has run in to (production-wise) when using symbolic links in such a fashion?
One obvious beneficial use I can immediately think of, is to create a dynamic link within all of my wavetable-compatible synths' relevant configuration directories, pointing towards a master Wavetable folder, as well as other similar 'Master folders' for other commonly-used audio files, something like:
D:\Wavetables
D:\Samples
D:\Impulse Responses
D:\MIDI
...etc.
So that those same locations can then be used by multiple different plugins and software applications?
Any thoughts, or suggestions would be welcome
