get Install Files command to ignore hidden dirs

Post by Will »

Is there any way to avoid installing hidden directories when calling the Install Files command? There are hidden .svn directories in my stage directories because I keep the install files in subversion for version control. I do not want to install these hidden directories and i do not want to have to put in an Install Files command for every single file (I'm using *.* wild cards to keep things simpler right now). Thanks.

Just use the exclude option in the Install Files command.

I do not see any exclude option in the Install Files command. I'm guessing the version i have (2005 first edition) does not have that feature. I'll find some other solution.
