Patterns update request

[grayerbeard]

What do you need?

In your video "How to Create Custom Fabric Patterns" you describe what seems a less than ideal way to create custom patterns and in your comment answers you explain how to stop this getting erased at update it has to be salted away in another directory and then - presumably - copied in again after an update.

(1) Can we have an easier method please, ideally a special folder for custom patterns that persists an update and from which patterns can be used

(2) I had a go at creating a type of pattern that I could not find in the patterns directory. What I wanted was "How To" instructions from a You Tube Video rather than an "exract wisdom" or "summarise" when I applied this to your video and some others I got some good results but I am sure the pattern could be improved.

Here is the contents of my System.md.

There are 2 ways to make a custom pattern. The driest is make a folder in .config/fabric/patterns and then in that new folder make a system.md. This folder and file do persist after update. The second way is through the gui. Just run fabric --gui. There is an option to create a pattern. This also persists after update

Thanks I now have fabric working in a limited way in WSL under Windows 11.
Some things either dont work at all or cannot be done in WSL due to its limitations.
I am going to persist withing this setup but I may try running under Linux instead, either dual boot or on an R Pi.
I see that there are also fabric-api and fabric-webui but I could not find any info o how to use them. With the fabric-webui I can see the page under localhost but I dont understand how to use.

I feel the way forward would be a seperate set of instructions for install under windows 10/11, after all are not us Windows 11 users the most common.

I did also have a grouse about the style of many of the patterns but thats probably just me, it does not seem to be hard to do ones own thing with that.
