Whats the difference between the -i and -o folders?

0

The Input (-i) Folder is a staging area. Various actions you take using the SS user interface modify the contents of the -i folder, such as importing a VCF chart or defining icons. SS uses the files in the -i folder during the Make Site process. Some of the files are copied directly to the -o folder, but many of the files are altered in some way as they are copied. The Output (-o) Folder contains the files that make up a site. It includes all the files required by the site. If you publish your site via the web, you should copy the files in the -o folder to a web server. You do not need any files from the -i folder. You may or may not want to copy the -o folder itself, but that depends on how the rest of your web site is organized. If your genealogy pages are a subset of the main site, they should probably be put in a sub-folder, the -o folder or a renamed version of it. Similarly, if you are creating a CD-ROM, you should copy the files in the -o folder to the root folder of the CD-ROM
