Do not generate an entry for each file in a synchronized folder in the aip file

Wed Jul 19, 2017 2:53 am

At the moment, even when I use the synchronize folder feature, each file in that folder still has an entry in the aip file. Since we check the aip file into version control, and the content of the folder is dynamically generated on every build, this means that every time we do any small change in the installer project, the aip file has tens of thousands of lines changed.

Is there a way to not generate an entry for each file inside a folder if that folder is synchronized? From my point of view, if I'm synchronizing my folder, I don't care what the content of the folder is, and that info shouldn't have to be saved in the aip file either.

Hello,

Indeed, unfortunately this is how we currently save the file details in our AIP (project file). I'll forward your suggestion to our development team and maybe they will consider an improvement if possible in the future. Thank you for your feedback.

All the best,
Daniel
