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.
