Does anyone know the importance of packing up a node script using the switchScriptTool --pack vs just using the script folder?

It depends on how your environment is setup and what kind of things you do with the scripts, but one key thing is that using script folders is currently a bit slower than using packed scripts. There are some other reasons, too, and Enfocus has listed those on this page: https://www.enfocus.com/manuals/Develop ... cript.html

thanks, I thought I looked all through that and didn't find a good list. I guess I missed it. That list looks like a good explanation.

remember - if you are using a Icon in that Script - the pack would only work, when the icon-name is the same as the script

switch is not accepting my packed script folders. anyone else had this problem?
am i doing something wrong?

SwitchScriptTool.exe --pack .
creates a .sscript file in the chosen folder, but switch does not accept it.

using switch 2020 fall

I think you should pack it outside the script folder so that it doesn't overwrite the "0 KB .sscript".
For example: to have it created inside a "build" directory at the same level as your script folder.

sorry,
that wasn't clear
i pack it to ../../PRD
so it is outside of the original folder
