Add or update directory nodes

Under the Package node, you create a directory node for each directory that contains required files.

There must be a virtual directory for any physical directory that includes required files. If you created your project using the Desktop Project (.4pw) or BAM Desktop Project options, it will already have the default directory nodes. If your project does not have directory nodes, right-click on the Package node and select New Directory. For further information about the types of files, see Inventory the files to include in the application.

Each directory has the following properties:

  • Source Directory indicates where the files exist prior to packaging.
  • Destination Directory indicates where the files will exist in the package structure. The Destination Directory must be within the package root directory.
  • Included files filters the files to include in the package.
  • Excluded files filters the files to exclude from the package.

When you create a package, you must determine the directory structure you want for your archive.

For other files, you will define packaging rules that move the files you need into or under the RootDir. In Figure 1, images are moved from an images folder into the RootDir.
