    Save as only Autoplay Files - Virtual CDs

    Hi People
    I would ask if:
    - it is possible to 'save as' only autoplay related files without copying other content in CD_Root Folder?

    - it possible link the CD_Root to a different folder, similarly to a virtual CDs found on simpler products.

    I suppose that. for installers, data are already organized when a project is created,and moving data under CD_Root can be worrying.
    I experienced that:
    - if you 'save as' to an existing folder this tries to copy data files (I think thi is not correct) and worst it tries to delete existing files (I think this is also not correct).
    I think that someone would migrate AutoPlay data and files without any touch of content data.

    Do you have some suggestions on how to manage this issues?

    Thanks
    Fabio

    Some other consideration

    Hi People,
    I think that saving separately Autoplay projects from project content data is also useful for data security.
    Having a previous version on CDs of data makes simple to recover it.
    Meanwhile if we have the small project files we could secure on let's say an InCD synchronized DVD without taking care of 8.0 GB (my case) doubled content data.

    Thanks

    If I understand you correctly, Fabio, you can use the "docs" folder for what you want. Organizing ALL your assets in that folder allows you, at a later time, to move that folder where you want it to be. BUT, and this is a BIG BUT (s'cuse the pun..), you should define a global variable which would content the path where all of these assets will be, then use that variable for defining their locations. (Ex:
    myPath = _SourceFolder.."\myDataFolder\";

    then throughout the app, you would use myPath.

    Hope that helped...
