What files to include for v2?

Hello,

After I build my first blank update (v1) and want to create my next update (v2), what files do drag into the "Your program's folder" in my v2 tab inside of wyBuild? Do I do a diff myself between the two app versions and then only include the files that have changed? Or does wyBuild figure this out automatically and I should just drag my entire v2 app into the "Your program's folder" on the v2 tab even though a lot of the files haven't been changed and wyBuild will sort out what files are required to be included in the update?

Edit:I attempted to only include the changed files for my v2, but when I update the app with wyBuild, it ends up deleting my entire app directory, leaving ONLY the changed files. So it appears that doesn't work. However, when I include my entire folder structure for my v2 of my app and I update my app, it has to download a massive file (around 300MB). The changed files only accounted for maybe 25MB, so it looks like it's not so much a "patch" as it is simply downloading the entire app and then copying over itself. Is this the case?

Add all the files to wyBuid. wyBuild does all the work of comparing your versions and generating the smallest possible patch file.

This is covered in the step-by-step walkthrough. See step 6 in particular.

Thanks Sam,

For me, the wording in Step 6 was just a bit unclear.

"Copy all of the files from version 1.1 of your app into this folder."

I wasn't sure if that meant all the new/changed files, or if it meant the whole app itself. In hindsight the wording is clear, but at the time of going through the tutorial, I wish it was a bit more clear that wyBuild does the required diffing (as I didn't see it stated anywhere). Everything is working great now.

Thanks,Justin
