Can I move my app.xml file?

Can I move my app.xml file outside of project folder? All of my other code is from linked folders and is in SVN. Since my project folder is not in SVN (because it's mostly specific to my machine), I cannot have my app.xml in SVN. So, I need to share my app.xml with other developers but I do not want to share my local projects settings. See the problem?

Also, there doesn't seem to be a thread to ask general AIR questions (like this one). All I see is:

  • Multiscreen Development    
  • Installation Issues    
  • Performance Issues   
  • Problems & Bugs

Hi,

is this Flash Builder editor? Have you tried:

- make your app.xml available outside of project folder (local repository, etc) - you need it first

- delete from project (FB starts complains about missing app xml now)

- simply link "File" from outside directory into project src.

(that change will be reflected e.g. in .project file pointing to linked file outside of project)

regards,

Peter

Yes, I'm using Flash Builder.

I got it to work but FB is extremely fussy when it comes to changing names of folders and main class files. I got it to work by closing the project and hand editing the project files. Seems it also likes to overwrite project config files so it took a few tries before it stuck - very weird. Hopefully FB won't blow up soon!
