V 1.5 structure

Hi, we initially had the evaluation version of 1.4 and starting constructing our website on the the structure of the files you give in the evaluation copy. we then paid for version 1.4 and when we received it we noticed the structure of the files were different. i.e. you have a folder called source and codebase.

these 2 folders have many of the same files but with different sizes etc.. we cannot see why you have the 2 folders and what each is for. please can you explain what the codebase and sources folders are and what is the difference and purpose of both.

when you bring out new versions are you going to have them in the same structure as it is annoying that we got used to the structure of the folders with the evaluation copy and now we have got to change everything seeing as the structure of the folders once we pay for it is completely different?

thanks

>> please can you explain what the codebase and sources folders are

Basically both sources contains the same file, with next difference

codebase - contains all necessary js|css|imgs files, code compressed
source - contains only js files, code not compressed

If you need use grid - just use codebase folder - it contain all necessary files, you will not need anything outside of it
If you want to made some modification in code - editing compressed files is not simple process, so you can get use same files from "source" folder - which is exactly same code, but with original formatting and comments.

>>when you bring out new versions are you going to have them in the same structure as it is annoying
The last version contains too many files to have them in original folder structure ( there are more than 50 js files in grid package ), so we changed structure of folders to make it more easy to use.
Actually it not a problem to recreate original folder structure ( you can copy all js files in "js" folder, all "css" files in "css" folder, etc ) but any new package released on dhtmlx.com will contain current folder structure.
