ability to ignore files and/or directories through build.settings

Solar2D Daily Builds and Public Releases
#1

It would be helpful to have the ability to exclude files and/or directories from builds through controls in build.settings.

Prior to Corona, I kept all internal docs, published docs, development resources (e.g., original artwork not yet named to target platform specs) together with the source. With Corona I need to keep them in a separate directory.

This could, or maybe even should, be able to be global (exclude from all builds) and platform specific (exclude from android builds).

May also want to have an include version of this as well - for example, include specific file or directory for iOS build.

Thanks

Create a project folder and keep up your original images and docs at the higher level, create your app in a sub folder. [import]uid: 100222 topic_id: 20462 reply_id: 80196[/import]

This doesn’t currently exist but I’ve made a note of your request to bring up in our next meeting.

In the mean time Jeff’s suggestion is a reasonable way of managing your assets.

Jeff & Peach - thanks. I got that from another source and is the direction I am headed. [import]uid: 117477 topic_id: 20462 reply_id: 80497[/import]

+1 for the request.

I’m using a mixed development mode, where I have seperate pngs in images/*

But for device (and certain tests) I export a textureAtlas.

I don’t want the images/ directory to be included. [import]uid: 5942 topic_id: 20462 reply_id: 92161[/import]
