It allows you to automatically copy the file to a certain directory during the building process.
It's very useful for files that need to be copied to the application directory, such as some classes or *.dll files used with external objects.
Warning: This property and its subordinates (
Generator and
Extract to path properties) have been deprecated as of
GeneXus 15 Upgrade 11. Refer to
File object article for details.
| No |
The file is not going to be copied. This is the default value. |
| Always |
The file is always copied after the generation process. |
| Newer |
The file is copied only when it's newer. |
When 'Always' or 'Newer' is selected, the "Generator" and "Extract to path" properties appear.
| Any |
The file will be copied regardless of the generator used. This is the default value. |
| CSharp |
The file is copied only when generating with CSharp. |
| Java |
The file is copied only when generating with Java. |

It's the path where the file is going to be copied, and it may be an absolute or relative path. When left empty, the default behavior is as follows:
- If the “Extract to path” property is empty during the specification process, the extraction will be made in the 'bin' folder of the KB.
- If the extraction is to be made in another folder, or if the absolute address is used or if it is indicated with a “.”, the extraction will be made in the Web folder of the KB.
Both cases are independent of the environment (win/web).
