Omni Systems, Inc. Mif2Go User's Guide, Version 55
> 35 Producing deliverable results > 35.6 Assembling files for distribution > 35.6.2 Emptying the wrap directory before copying
To clear out the wrap directory before Mif2Go copies files:
; EmptyWrapPath = Yes (default, remove all files before copying)
; or No (leave old files in place in WrapPath directory)
When EmptyWrapPath=Yes
,
provided WrapPath
does not
point to the project directory, Mif2Go deletes the entire contents of the WrapPath
directory before copying files. However, if either of the following is
true, Mif2Go does not delete anything, regardless of the
value of EmptyWrapPath
:
WrapPath
WrapPath
points to
the project directory.
For HTML output types, if WrapPath
points to the same directory as [Graphics]GraphPath
,
Mif2Go does not delete files unless both EmptyWrapPath
and EmptyGraphPath
are set to Yes
;
see §35.7 Placing graphics files for distribution.
When EmptyWrapPath=No
,
Mif2Go leaves the prior contents of the WrapPath
directory in place. Orphaned and obsolete files from previous conversion
runs could accumulate and find their way into current deliverables. For
this reason, it is better to designate a directory for WrapPath
that is different from the project directory, and set EmptyWrapPath=Yes
;
that way nothing important is lost, and nothing unwanted is delivered.
Note:
EmptyWrapPath
takes effect not
only when WrapAndShip=Yes
, but also when one
of the following is true for the output type specified:
HTML Help: [Automation]CompileHelp=Yes
WinHelp: [Automation]CompileHelp=Yes
JavaHelp: [JavaHelpOptions]FTSCommand=
path/to/indexer
Oracle Help: [OracleHelpOptions]FTSCommand=
path/to/indexer
See §35.10 Gathering and processing Help-system files.
