Maybe I'm wrong, but wasn't this brought up awhile ago and the solution was to drop all modified versions of shipped files into the custom folder?
That way you would have all the shipped files unmodified in their original location and have all your modified versions in a single location (custom folder), as well as updates NOT overwriting all the changes made? I thought Fletcher mentioned this awhile ago but perhaps I am wrong. Could have swore I saw this written out somewhere and sent through the mailing list....if not, my bad. *shrug* On Wed, Jun 5, 2013 at 11:33 AM, Fletcher Dunn <[email protected]>wrote: > This update will be the last time that happens.**** > > ** ** > > We’re getting rid of all instances where we encourage people to modify > shipping files.
