development/Tables Directories

Possible sources of tables dirs list:

• default "tables" directory
  • FIXME: make additional argument to redefine default dir?
  • FIXME: search in default system share or look in environment settings?
• directory list from --tables command line argument
• directory named after serverType
  • FIXME: no point to automatically add these, as all the servers where it's usable are in distributed configuration, so servers.txt can be used instead
  • FIXME: majority of servers uses kRO serverType and gets Korean tables by default (should be English)
• addTableFolders from servers.txt entry
  • FIXME: what if default directory redefined somehow? Currently there have "tables/iRO" form, maybe should be "iRO" instead

Use Cases

Not current, but wanted behavior:

Preconfigured Official Servers

• default: uses default tables with server-specific tables subdir (which can be configured via servers.txt)
• --tables: provided tables only

Preconfigured Private Servers

(localhost, RMS, KoreRO etc)

• default: uses default tables with iRO or kRO-translated tables subdir
• --tables: provided tables only

Other Private Servers

• default: user should configure servers.txt to select additional tables directory, as root itself is no longer usable
• --tables: provided tables only
