File Wizard


  The file wizard is displayed when you invoke the  Add files and directories action in the  add menu on the right side of the file definition tree. To get more information about the distribution tree and related concepts, please see the overview.
  In the first step of the file wizard you choose whether you want to add
  • the contents of a directory and its subdirectories

    Choose this wizard type if you want to recursively add the contents of a directory. You will have the possibility of excluding certain files and subdirectories and exclude files based on their file suffix. If you would like to specify different settings for one or several files in the included directory, you have to exclude them and add them as single files in the appropriate directory.

    The subsequent steps in the wizard for this selection are:

  • a number of single files

    Choose this wizard type if you collect a small number of files (possibly from different locations) into a single directory. Example: a number of support libraries from different directories are added into the top level directory lib.

    The subsequent steps in the wizard for this selection are:

    • Select files
      Choose the files that should be distributed.
    • Installation options
      Select installation options like access rights as well as overwrite and uninstallation policies.

  • files that are passed with a compiler variable

    Choose this wizard type if you collect lists of files in your build tool and want to use that information to dynamically build the distribution tree.

    The subsequent steps in the wizard for this selection are:

    • Compiler variable
      Choose the compiler variable that should be read.
    • Installation options
      Select installation options like access rights as well as overwrite and uninstallation policies.
