B4J Question Subfolders content is ignored on Release build, but not on Debug build

[TelKel81]

Can something be done to make it so that compiling a Release Build won't ignore the folders (and their content) that's in /Files ?

My project has a lot of files with different file types and inserting a prefix for each file looks like a poor workaround to me.

Also, copying *.* from another folder directly to /Files before compile is not appealing because I have a lot of huge files.

Naturally, creating/managing virtual folders (groups) in the IDE, when those folders don't exist on the partition, is tedious.

The overall issue is aggravated by the absence of a thumbnails view in the IDE.

I suggest put your files to Objects folder. You can have subfolders inside a folder.
I usually do this with my server apps. I can also use comment links to copy the folders in Objects to a zip file.

This is actually solvable with xcopy. It only copies the modified files. See the comment link in the B4XPages template.
