Zipping projects doesn't include output folders

Post by mel_w »

Hi,
When I use Flare 7''s Zip feature (File > Zip > Zip Project) to zip up my project, the zipped file doesn't include my output folders. It does include the Content folder, the Project folder, and the project file (flprj). Does anyone know if Flare doesn't include the Output folder on purpose, or if there is an option I can set to be sure it is included? I didn't see anything in the Help or in the Create Package dialog box in Flare.
Thanks!
Mel

Yes, that is by design. Flare's internal zip function also will not include the Analyzer folder. Both the Output folder and Analyzer folder will be recreated when the .flprjzip is unpacked by Flare in future.

If you really want to include the Output folder in a zip file, you can always create the zip file outside of Flare, using your preferred method for making a zip file. Just zip the root folder where the project resides. But before you do, delete the Analyzer folder, which otherwise will make the zip file unnecessarily large.

RETIRED, but still fond of all the Flare friends I've made. See you around now and then!
