Suggestion on static/dynamic scans

[NewsArchive]

When someone clicks the add button on the static/dynamic scan screens to
add items to an install, check and see if there is a compiler variable that
matches the path.

If there is, ask if they want to substitute that for the hard coded path
name.

Could also offer to add a compiler variable for a folder that exists more
than once and then substitute that, but the above or below solutions are
just as good.

OR add a way to do a find/replace all in the files tab for the source
folder.

Bottom line, if you are using compiler variables in the source folder field
to save time and you use the static or dynamic scans, you have to manually
change each file. When there are 200 of em, its a little tedious

Mark,

Thank you for your suggestion!

BTW, what about using the Project | Convert File Source Paths function to
let SetupBuilder automatically change the source path (to compiler
variables, etc.)?

Thanks again,
Friedrich

"point. click. ship" - that's SetupBuilder 5

Dang. I wish I had seen that before I made all those changes by hand.

Maybe an easier request is a find and replace with an option to replace
all. OTOH, this convert thing might resolve 99% of that
