Folder Reference Properties

Source

Local folder:

The location of the folder on your development system whose contents you want to include in the patch. You can click the Browse button to select a alternate folder.

Recurse subfolders

Include the contents of all subfolders within the specified Local folder. This will also maintain the directory structure within the specified Local folder. If unchecked, only the files within the root of the folder will be included.

File mask:

The file mask you want to use to determine which files will be included or excluded from the patch at build time. You can use wildcards in this field. For example, *.* for all files, *.txt for all files with the .txt file extension etc.

Files that match

Only include files that match the specified file mask.

Files that do not match

Only include files that do not match the specified file mask.

Destination

Install to:

The location that you want the folder's contents to be patched on the user’s system. You can use any path-related session variable by itself or with a hard-coded path that you specify.

Note: Visual Patch will insert the correct directory here by default when you add the files to the project. Generally, you will not need to change the Install to setting.
