Jim,

On Windows, I use my trusty batch files to do this.
I put everything I want to copy or delete from the build folder into
the batch file.

Of course this doesn't help for diddly-squat on a Mac

;-)

BUILD APPLICATION("BuildApp.xml")
If(OK=1)
$batch_File:=HFS_PathName (Structure file)+"MyBuild.bat"
LAUNCH EXTERNAL PROCESS($batch_File)
End if

is there something like

Jim,

If you are talking about non-4D files, then you will have to code that
into your own build logic.

We, for example, have many different files/directories that we include
as part of our setup that have nothing to do with the actual 4D build.
?This is all done via 4D code, in our build logic itself.

We also use Install Shield to build are actual installer, and there
are additional files/directories built using Install Shield.

Steve

The only exception (depending on your definition of "non-4D file") is
there's an option to include the "associated folders" of a 4D app:

http://doc.4d.com/4Dv14/help/Title/en/page1307.html

For example you could embed your needed files in the Resources folder.

HOWEVER Steve has the better answer for a couple of reasons:

-9 times out of 10 building will just be one step in the process to
producing your final application.
-Your goal should be to automate the process, from end to end; from
source to deployment.

If you can automate the entire build-deploy process you're on your way
to Continuous Delivery:

Kind regards,

Josh

I suppose a more brute force way would be to include those files in the
Server/Unlimited Desktop before merge

Hi Jim,

4DPop AppMaker allows to automatise the build process and to
include/exclude files/folders into/from the target.
