Hi Rick,

I'm poking around at the app config file and noticed this directive:

"Developer": {
    "HtmlPreviewFolderPath": "d:\\projects\\WebSurge2\\WebSurge\\Html"

Checking the current help I can't find a reference. What is the intended use off this setting? (FYI the help does not look like it's been built in the latest version of WWHB as it does not have the simple/detailed dropdown.)

TIA

It's a debug settings - it's not used in a deployed application.

I use that so I can refresh the preview without having to restart during development because the HTML templates are otherwise built and copied out to the deployed location. This lets me make changes without having to copy files back and keep track of changes.

By default this points to the installed template folder. It's completely ignored when the app is deployed - only used in Debug mode.
