I am developing a system containing multiple sketches (currently 4). I want to export them in one package. I believe that I will have to export each individually then put them in one folder. I am thinking that I may need another sketch to act as an overall manager. If so how does the manager start a…

[image] fredstout: If so how does the manager start another sketch and what happens when the “called” sketch terminates? First part of question: [image] launch() / Reference Attempts to open an application or file using your platform's launcher. The filename parameter is a String …

Many thanks! I will try it. Fred

Hello @fredstout , I am using Windows 10. There is a reference here to escape sequences here: String / Reference / Processing.org And here: [image] Missing semicolon error when there really is one Beginners Hello folks! For visitors to topic. The backslash…

I hope I did this correctly: I added the launch to your sketch and it ran successfully. I noticed that when your sketch ended, control came back to me like it always does which is good to know. Fred

Hello @fredstout , Some code that I was experimenting with: // Author: glv // Original: 2026-06-04 // An exploration into launching sketches. // This code only represents some of the intermediate steps taken to understand the paths. // This can certainly be trickled down to fewer lines once unders…

Yikes! I will attempt to learn what I can from your code. As you mentioned, it is complicated. Thank you for this. It make take me a while, I have several trips lined up. Fred

[image] fredstout: Yikes! That about sums it up! I had to do this preliminary exploration to see what was happening from the different launch points (PDE sketch, exported sketch, different folders). I learned a lot along the way! It can be trickled down to only what is what is necessary onc…

True! However both my sketches (and a third is planned) are, in my opinion, large enough right now. Both use all the tabs and are about 1800 lines of code each. Thanks for responding, its always appreciated!

I have three (3) easier method(s). Method 1. I have a sketch runner that just runs .pde’s as a separate sketch without the need of a folder Method 2 I have a process where it stores all of the pdes into one file Method 3 I built a sketch browser that allows you to run multiple sketches with them…

You can also integrate the Sketches into one big sketch with multiple states (and tabs)
