I guess just the root path for all of them?

So if the Root is: D:\MyProject
It is possible to do Assets\Presets\Perspectives\Foo1 or Assets\Presets\Colors\Bar1 and this will result in:

  • D:\MyProject\Assets\Presets\Perspectives\Foo1.xml
  • D:\MyProject\Assets\Presets\Colors\Bar1.xml

Edit:
Changed the example a bit to make less contrived.

Also thinking about it some more I believe at least for my current use case it would be pretty convenient to also have something like Store (ToFile) and Recall (FromFile) that take a path to the xml file as input.

Bumped into the same wall today as well, so that’s a +1 :)

Sorrily it’s a bit tricky, but it’s doable.

Here we go: Services like the preset service can be configured before they start up.

In the very beginning of the application startup procedure, you can participate and set some configuration keys, that then get read when the services start up.

You do this by implementing IStartup. Here we configure the key Presets:Folder which then gets read by the preset service when it starts up.
