Re: [orca-list] Time Script Update

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Hi Storm:

The directory where orca is started and then the ~/.orca directory are
added to the beginning of sys.path.  When it needs to find the Script
class for an application focus_tracking_presenter then searches a number
of packages for a script module whose name has been mapped to via
settings.getScriptModuleName.  The name of the script module usually
matches the name of the application.

So...the short answer is that Orca will look for specific scripts under
your ~/.orca/scripts area.  Randomly dropped in python modules will not
be loaded unless they are scripts that match
settings.getScriptModuleName output.

Hope this helps,

Will
