[oXygen-user] Document type & framework: external storage

[Adrian Buza]

Hi,

I see your point. However, implementing an "additional framework dir" 
isn't that simple right now. All the frameworks depend on an editor 
variable that points to the frameworks directory: ${frameworksDir}. This 
assumes the frameworks directory is unique.
${frameworksDir} would have to be resolved to a different location when 
the framework is located in the "additional framework dir" instead of 
the default framework directory. This complicates things to some degree.
There are a few possible solutions, one being to replace the references 
to ${frameworksDir}\<frameworkName> with a new editor variable.
e.g. ${currentFramework}. This is still open for debate.

I've logged your suggestion on our issue tracking tool.

Regards,
Adrian
