How to handle duplicate files

Post by jclanton »

I have about 7 features in the install. 3 or 4 of them rely on the same base set of components. What's the best way to handle this situation.

If I include them in each feature, is the build routine smart enough to know they are duplicates and not includes them multiple times? Or, do I need to handle this through script?

Thanks in advance.
I've very impressed with the product so far.

Hi,

You can go ahead and define a hidden feature, and then manually manage the selection of that feature, based on the states of the user-visible features, from the script.
