Web Output Folder Questions

[RichardTroiano]

Hello,

Is there any way to tell flare (v7) to not delete a webhelp output folder located in /Content when a new build runs? The content in the folder in question is static and does not need to be processed by Flare. Any ideas on how I could go about doing this? Would I be better off scripting something external from Flare that copies the neccesary folders/files to the /Output/Content/MyFolder after the build completes, or is there a way to script/configure this sort of thing natively?

Thanks

Richard

Anything in the output folder is fair game for Flare and that for good reasons. The only way to get static content in there is to include it in the project and have Flare drag it around each time. I think it would be nice to be able to pull in static content when publishing to a destination. Publishing is nothing else than copying files from the Output folder to a specified destination and it should be easy enough to add anything else and put it somewhere inside the structure of the published output. I recommend submitting a feature request here:

Richard, is there a specific reason for locating that Output folder inside the Content folder? You probably can't get Flare to ignore it if it's in there. Are you also generating output elsewhere?


Good luck,
Leon
