External TOX tool

When collaborating on a project, and using version control, we like to externalize components. Making the project modular prevents conflicts when different people are working in different areas.

Keeping track of what has been externalized and what has been saved properly can be a bit of a headache, so we wrote a basic tool to help make sure the saving is happening in the right places.

You can view the readme on our GitHub account for more details.

Very useful! :slight_smile:

Some updates have been pushed up to the github to fix a couple things, and to help prevent a couple possible issues.

Cheers

Can this tool be used with the 099?

I haven’t tested it in 099, but it should work.
If you find any errors please let me know

Thanks

I have the component in my network, also close to the root as it recommends. I have also picked the destination folder to store the .tox files, however when I hit the shortcut keys, nothing happens. I do have a few other tools running at the same, but im not sure if that affects the component.

I’ll have to test it in 099 later this week and either update with a fix or help you find the issue.

Cheers

Are you using the tox tool on a regular PC or on Mac with bootcamp?
