Prevent Resources from being imported. But still include them via the Export Configuration.

[Decapitated]

I am creating a GDExtension that renders HTML.

The extension loads files via FileAccess. When exporting the demo project, I import Non-Resource files via the Export Configuration - html, js, css, etc.

This works great. The files are put inside the .pck file, and I am able to access these files via FileAccess and a path like res://folder/file.html.

The problem arises when files like SVG and PNG - which are auto imported - are accessed this way.
According to the docs, FileAccess cannot access imported resources.
I would like for resources inside a particular folder to not be imported. But still included inside the .pck and accessed like other Non-Resources.
I have attempted to use .gdignore inside the folders, which stops the files from being imported. But also prevents the files from being included in the .pck via the Export Configuration.

You just pick "Keep File (exported as is)" in the import option

You're exactly right. That fixes my problem. Is there anyway to do this without going to each image/resource?

Yes you select all of them and do the same you can configure multiple resources at once (as long as they are the same type)

Thank you! Of course it was a simple solution. 😳
