| On this tab of the general settings steps you enter general options regarding media file generation. Only bold fields have to be filled in: Media file output directory (required) the directory where the generated media files should be placed. If the project has already been saved, a relative directory will be interpreted as relative to the project file. Media file name pattern (required) the default rule for naming your media files. This text field should contain system variables in order to be unique for each media file. If two media file names are equal, the build will fail. If the desired name for the media file cannot be obtained through the use of variables, you can override the media file name in the media wizard. Compression level The desired level of compression for your media files, chosen from a range of 1-9. "1" means least compressed and "9" means most compressed. Please note that extracting the media files will take longer for higher compression levels. use LZMA compression LZMA compression achieves much better results, but is considerably slower. LZMA compression is only used for installers and not for archives. Modification times You can choose between two ways to set the modification times of installed files: use build timestamp all installed files have the build time as the same modification time. This is the default mode. keep original file modification times the original modification times are kept for the installed files. A build will not be possible until all required fields have been completed. If a required field is missing when starting a build, this tab will be displayed with a warning message.
