I am wondering if it possible to have some sort of settings in the build.settings or maybe just an empty file like “.do not build” to exclude a directory from being included during the build process.  Something like this in the build.settings:

excludeFromBuild = {

    file = {

        “C:\somedirectory\readme.txt”,

        “C:\somedirectory\test.proj”

    },

    directory = {

        “C:\somedirectory\photoshop”,

        “C:\somedirectory\tiled”,

        “C:\somedirectory\bin”

    }

}

I like to keep all my project items together and I have noticed that Corona sends EVERYTHING during the build process clogging up my internet connection and CoronaLab’s.  Yes I have searched the forums and know that files/folders that start with a “.” will be excluded but directory names that start with a “.” are not valid in any version of Windows.

TIA,

Noral

What I do is create a top level folder for a project:

c:\projects\mysupercoolgame

Then under it, I create several other folders including a folder by the same name:

c:\projects\mysupercoolgame\mysupercoolgame

c:\projects\mysupercoolgame\marketing

c:\projects\mysupercoolgame\resources

etc.  Resources gets all my Photoshop PSD files, etc.  I could use it store tiled etc.  Marketing is where all the various screen shots and promotional collateral gets created and saved.  Then finally the “mysupercoolgame” folder holds the files that Corona is going to build with.  That way I’m not putting stuff in there and Corona will pick up the folder name for the app name.
