Local settings can cause issues if out of sync #7

Open kkjamie opened 6 years ago

Above are the default settings for packages paths.

Problem

If 2 developers on the same project have different settings, issues can arise. For example:

1st Developer sets up the package manager with path A, 2nd developer doesn't change the settings and sticks with defaults and adds a new package and it installs in a different package directory.
If the paths are the same but different in case, it mostly works, but will write a different path into .gitmodules causing syncing issues.

Solutions

Sync the settings somehow (write it into a json). This could suffer from the same issue unless we make that json file in a fixed location (in which case why allow any customizability).
Don't allow any customizability for the paths.

Writing to editorprefs is not a good solution in the long term, it doesn't allow different settings for different projects on your machine. I'm thinking we need a settings file to write to and keep inside git.
