Working with FileSync

To enable and map FileSync:

1. From the Menu-bar, select Project | Properties | File synchronization.

2. Select the Enable FileSync builder for project check-box.
   
3. In the Source and Target Configuration tab, add folders to the Available synchronization mappings window by clicking Add Folder... and selecting the folders to be synced.
4. Click Edit... to manually define exclusion and inclusion patterns.
5. In the Default target folder field, click Browse... and select the destination folder for the synched files.
6. Optional: If you wish to define a default folder for containing variables, click Browse... in the Default variables file field, and select a folder.
7. Click OK.
   The folders added will be saved to the destination folder, and synced upon every Save you perform to your project.
8. Select the Misc... tab for receiving support and sending feedback.

Note:

File synchronization works only in one direction - from Zend Studio outwards. Changes made on external files will not be reflected in your Zend Studio workspace.
