After compile an project copy all files

[NewsArchive]

Hallo,


Is there a way after compile an project to copy all files (from install)
into a folder ?


Thank you,
Robert

I think you should be able to do what you want with the "copy files"
preprocessor directive.

Hallo Jane,


Thank you but I cannot use this method. I take files from different places
...... I need only files that I have on my project... I was thinking that
there is a way after compile to have an option to copy all files into a
specified folder.

If I use a source folder where I take all files then I know how to copy all
files.


Regards,
Robert

Hi Robert,

You should consider using Build Automator for that kind of stuff - that's
what it's made for:) I use it to compile all my SB projects and copy files,
version synchronization etc. etc. :)

I can personally recommend BA for this.

I use it to release versions and save files to the relevant version folders.

Very flexible and easy to use. The hard part is developing your own
strategies. BA does everything I could possibly want including sending the
files to a server if needed.

My strategy which BA does for me is:

1. Maintain folder and create new version folders.
2. Compile help files.
3. Compile files in C6.
4. Protect files using Armadillo.
5. Build release and signcode using SB7. I do 3 releases - Demo, Web Update
and Manual Update.
6. Copy all my files to relevant version folders.
7. Tidy file system.
8. Send to server (optionally)

All this is done at the click of ONE button in BA using variables and
parameters and can even be programtically controlled at runtime if you just
want to issue one release for example, or skip the help files etc.

Hallo Arnor,

Thank you.

I will take a look to see how this can be done automatically.

Not a problem. Email me privately at xxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx if you need an
example project or perhaps Arnor as he has that also.

As I say the hard part is working out precisely what needs to be done - BA
WILL absolutely do everything.
