Maperitive, a desktop osm renderer, stores its rulesets for rendering in a subfolder called "Rules" - at least when running under windows.

I tried to generate my own rules (or to be more honest I changed a ruleset) and saved it under a new name like "myruleset.mrules" in this folder. Unfortunatley Maperitive seems not to "recognize" new files in this subfolder "Rules". How can I "register" this new ruleset, so that it is available under the menu Map -> Switch to Rules? Restart Maperitive seems not work.

okay , I figured it out: on the command-prompt run use-ruleset location=rules\myruleset.mrules now Maperitive adds this ruleset under Map->Switch to Rules

That's correct. There's no special folder for rules, you can load them from anywhere. You can also simply drag&drop the rules file into Maperitive. – Igor Brejc Oct 14 '12 at 18:20

Igor Brejc pointed me to this intro page for working with rule files: maperitive.net/docs/Rulesets.html#Removing%20Rulesets there you find also the command remove-ruleset, which works (although the page says todo) very well in version 2.3.14 of maperitive – Kurt Oct 14 '12 at 18:50
