Configure Merge Module Dialog

This dialog allows you to configure the merge process.

General

Feature

You can select the feature that will contain the merge modules’ components after the merge process ends. By default, it is the Main Feature (you can use the [… ] button to select another one). The Feature Picker Dialog will pop up, allowing you to select a feature to reference.

Folder

You can select the parent folder for the merge module’s “TARGETDIR” directory. By default, the Application Folder is selected. Use the [… ] button. The Folder Picker Dialog will pop up, allowing you to select a folder to reference.

Usually the “TARGETDIR” folder of a merge module is “.”. This means that all the files and folders from the merge module’s “TARGETDIR” are going to the selected folder.
