Better UI to setup project
Goal: easier to setup directory structure, preferred syntax like: http://compass-style.org/install/
Agreed. It would be nice to have a GUI feature where you could specify the folder to be watched and then the folder where the CSS would be rendered.
I agree with black falcon. It took me a couple of days to figure this out. I had no idea the CSS was rendered in another folder. Honestly, if I had not been determined to make this work I would not have continued. I assumed (incorrectly) the CSS would be rendered in the folder where I was testing the .scss files. A little knowledge would go along way to make the understanding of this app easier for people to get up and running.
FYI: I think there is a typo in the new interface.
I think "helps" should read 'help' on the initial screen.

@NaturesTrail: thank you :)

In my case it would be great to be able to specify two different output paths, each with their own output settings.
Project settings:
- Project source path
- Output path for development (expanded code output)
- Output path for live (compressed code output) - Running the output to live command have to be a click action.
I have to switch to Scout for pushing code from our dev to the live server. Would be great to only use Compass.app for everything.
+1 Separate output folders would help save time of having to compress and push to live server.
Although separate output folders would be a nicety, isn't switching to compressed output as simple as doing "Compass.app > Change Options... > Compressed"?
As far as being able to specify the output path, that would be convenient. Note, you are already able to do so through the config.rb
file, however, having a UI option would simplify the app for users who are unfamiliar.
@hlb Currently for setting up projects from extensions, the file dialog (in OSX at least) requires you to create a folder by naming it. It would be more intuitive if it were the other way around: where you could pick which folder, and have an option to create a new directory if necessary.
@jonjaques Good idea. We should think about it :)
@KDN @anointed I do not think Compass.app should support the "separate output folders" feature. It should be done in the other app or production workflow.
I think a "working directory" and parameters should be added. Per issue #83 This probably means that "watching a folder" would actually be "create a watch/project" and we could specify more arguments,
Also could be nice to have a Projects menu, instead of History. Since there is no "watch multiple folders" option, a list of user-defined projects (not last used projects) would be more than useful.
agreed. i would also like to create new types of "projects". giving the compass app urls of git repos to start with. right now, i create a new project, delete everything (is the compass --bare option missing?), git clone my custom repo, then start using compass.
keep up the good work :smile:
@xero you can create a compass extension, and put it in .compass/extensions
. Compass.app will use it :)
