RISCOS Ltd RISCOS Ltd ------------------------------------ TECHNICAL NOTE: RESOURCEFS LOCATIONS ------------------------------------ Document: 20000320-002 Version: 1.00 (08 Feb 2000) JRF: Started from comments on newsgroup Author(s): Justin Fletcher 1) RESOURCEFS THIRDPARTY RESOURCE LOCATION Applicability: RISC OS 3.5 and later. Description: In the past it has been common for everyone to place resources inside Resources:$.Resources with the consequence that there is a problem with namespace and with identification of ownership. In addition, this slows the machine because ResourceFS cannot cache information as efficiently. Recommendation: Third party developers are recommended to include their resources in Resources:$.ThirdParty... This should prevent further confusion in future, and allow for further third party patches to be applied more safely. -- Comment: ResourceFS Technote Part: 20000320-002
