Global Install #3

Closed matiasandina closed 2 years ago

matiasandina commented 2 years ago

Thank you for giving us this magical extension. Was wondering whether there's a way to perform a global install, instead of installing in every folder each time we want to use it.

Appreciate the kind words! Right now Quarto always requires you to install extensions into individual folders (for documents), or into a project (available for anything in the project). This aides reproducibility as dependencies upon a global store aren't created. Perhaps the project approach could be an improvement for you if you could put the various documents that are using this extension?

I understand the motivation. Unfortunately, my projects are too unrelated to have them all in one "big project", I guess I will keep installing lightbox whenever needed.

Ok, definitely get it. The one other thought that I have (especially if you have a number of extension that you always like to have to available) would be to create a template, which can install extensions and create a starter document using the command:

quarto use template <github-org>/<github-repo>

That would at least perhaps simplify the process for you if the template gets more complicated than merely the lightroom extension...
