Recurse sub folders question

[Tom H.]

Friedrich,

When installing files if I specify a destination folder, and select the recurse sub folders option, does the aggregate files all install into the designated destination folder regardless of the source folder location?

For example, if I have FileX in folder \Source, and FileY in \Source\SubFolder, with a target destination of folder \MyProgram on the target machine, with recurse turned on, do both FileX and FileY end up in folder \MyProgram?

Thanks,
Tom

Hi Tom,

If you have the "Recurse subfolders" option enabled then it will also "store" the folder tree structure. Let us assume, you package all files and folders from ..\Source\*.* (and Source has a subfolder named "SubFolder").

In this case, FileX will be installed into ..\MyProgram\ and FileY will go into ..\MyProgram\SubFolder

Does this help?

Well, it answers the question...:(

Thanks,

Hi Tom,

So as I understand it, this is not what you are trying to do? Do you need an option to recurse sub-folders but then install all the files (from different source-tree levels) into the same folder?

Yes, in this case I'm trying to organize/track discrete files that all end up in the same place. I've figured out another way to do it for now, but it might be nice to have the option to recurse without enforcing the tree structure.

Thanks again,
Tom

Hi Tom,

It should not be a problem to add such an option. We'll investigate it.

Thank you for your suggestion!

Hi Tom,

"Do not save complete subfolder tree info" option added.

Thanks again for your suggestion.
