By default, when you build the output for a target in your project, Flare sends the output files to the Output folder where your project is located. It also uses a default name for the main entry file to the output.
However, you can specify a different location and main entry file name for a target's output files.
Example You have a project called "FictionSoftPro" and have stored it in your root C:\ directory. If you create a project based on the "Empty" template and then build the output for an Microsoft HTML Help target, Flare places the output files in:
C:\FictionSoftPro\Output\MyName\MyHtmlHelp
The main entry file (actually, the only file) named "Manual.chm."
How to Specify the Output File and Folder in a Target
- Open the target.
- On the General tab of the Target Editor, do one or both of the following.
To specify the main entry file name, type the desired name in the Output File field. If you want to insert a variable in a field, you can click
. The variable will appear as syntax in the field, but in the output the variable definition will be shown.Note For Word targets, you can also specify the output format. See Specifying the Microsoft Word Output Format.
Note The Output File field is not available for Clean XHTML and Eclipse Help targets.
- To specify the location of the output files, click
in the Output Folder field. Then navigate to and select the location in your computer where you want to place the files.
- Click
to save your work.
