Annoyingly, I can't get Git to ignore the Output folder when I have it listed (AFAIK correctly) in .gitignore. Of course I don't want/need output in the source files repo, so I had the idea of moving the output folder outside the repo folder. This worked--except for the Temporary folder. Flare not only doesn't delete it when it's done compiling a target, it put it in the "default" output location. My first guess is that its location is hard coded (which is stupid on par with not deleting a temporary folder when you're done with it), but there may be a setting that I've overlooked in my many, many, many deep dives into the intricacies of Flare's settings. Is there?
Also, why does Flare insist on adding a [my name] sub-folder as a child of the Output folder? It's unnecessary folder clutter.

Re: Temporary and [my name] folders
Well that's interesting. Moving the output location outside of the default in the project folder also seems to mean Flare does not add that [my name] sub-folder in the Output folder.

Re: Temporary and [my name] folders
I can't help with moving the Output folder, but we use GIT and we can ignore it. Our .gitignore file looks like this:
/Output
/Analyzer
/FileSync
/Project/Users
/.gitignore
**/Thumbs.db
For reference, with multiple authors, we have found that if anyone tries to change the Output folder it usually breaks when another author tries to use that target, so I insist the default locaiton is used.
