Synchronize with Temporary Tab
In this dialog, you can synchronize a project folder containing temporary files with a source folder on disk. The folder synchronization works like this:
- If the files in the synchronized folder on the disk change, these changes are also made in the synchronized folder from your project.
- If you add additional files and folders in a synchronized folder from the project, these elements will not be affected by the synchronization.
- The synchronization is refreshed when you open the project, when you use the button in the "Files and Folders" page or when you build the project.
- When using Advanced Installer in GUI mode, the synchronization is not refreshed when you save the project.
