Referring to The Asset Pipeline — Ruby on Rails Guides it says:
- - - - You can add additional (fully qualified) paths to the pipeline in config/application.rb. For example: config.assets.paths << Rails.root.join("app", "assets", "flash") - - - -
I did that but when I look at Rails.application.config.assets.paths later in the code, the path to app/assets/flash has disappeared.
What's the right way to add a path to assets?

I'll answer my own question.
The documentation is wrong.
Instead create a file (an initializer) in config\initializers. I called mine add_to_asset_paths.rb
My config\initializers\add_to_asset_paths.rb looks like - - - - - # Ralph: The Asset Pipeline — Ruby on Rails Guides is wrong Rails.application.config.assets.paths << (Rails.root.join("app", "assets", "flash")).to_s - - - - -
I hope this saves someone else from pulling their hair out.

I'd like to push a documentation change but given that I am clueless how to do it and don't want to go through the learning curve myslef, if someone wants to give me a hand showing me how, I'd sure like to learn.

I'll add another issue to this.
It appears that if the path is of the form vendor\bundle\ruby\1.9.1\gems\jw_player_helper-0.0.1\assets\javascripts
(that is, the append looks like this:)
Rails.application.config.assets.paths << (Rails.root.join("app", "vendor","bundle","ruby","1.9.1","gems","jw_player_helper-0.0.1","assets", "javascripts")).to_s
that the asset manager (sprockets?) won't find c:\RailsInstaller\Sites\ultradedup002\vendor\bundle\ruby\1.9.1\gems\jw_player_helper-0.0.1\assets\javascripts\swfobject.js when you do a - javascript_include_tag('swfobject.js') in your view.

Never mind. I'm probably wrong on this last point.
