Is there any way to copy the structure of a project version so that I can create a new version from it? I have version 1.0 and I want to create 1.1. I have additional files (like object files and such) that I do not want to have in the wybuild project so copying the entire directory is not a good option. I understand I must maintain the source directory for each version but how can I easily build a new version without dragging and dropping. Another example is the common data folder. I need to create several directories under it that get files from different places so I really would like to be able to build a "template" and use it for each version. Having to rebuild the structure each time seems like it will be easier to make errors....
This is an existing application that we are updating to use wybuild so I really do not want to restructure everything, especially since the install process is proven and works fine (it can point to any file anywhere).
That is unless I am not understanding that all I need in the new version are the files that changed (but I don't think that is right).
The other thing I am seeing with the drag and drop is that the relative path is not changing between versions. For example, I have the existing information for myApp.exe from dir1 in version 1 and I drag the new version from dir2 into version 1.1. When I look at the relative paths they are the same - it does not change to dir2. I have copied my wyupdate directory (which contains my .wyp file) into my dir2 directory and am changing it there so that the wyupdate in dir1 is the original version and the one in dir2 is the new one with the new version. Is this how it is supposed to work or do I need a single wyupdate directory above the dir1 and dir2 directories? If I can keep them individually, what do I need to do to get the proper relative path to show up for each version?

No, you need to put all files. Let wyBuild patch it for you.

I'm not quite sure what you're asking. Everything works here.
I think I figured out what I was doing wrong in regards to the paths. I have my dir1 with wyupdate in it for my first "release" then I cloned the directory to dir2 and made changes. I was trying to put the updates into the wybuild file in the dir2 directory which I now see as being incorrect. I think what I really need to do is create a new wybuild file in a directory above dir1 and dir2 (like dir then there would be dir/dir1 and dir/dir2). Having the wybuild file above it would then give me just one version of the file and then I can drag and drop into that. I then see the proper directories.
I could not get the command line to work. My directories have spaces in the path names, so when I try to run it I get an error saying it I have to use the /bu switch (which is there) but I think the quotes within the path are messing it up.
