Help with Combiner.

[happygregory]

I am unable to get Combiner to work. I am using the following script based on how I as a non programmer, interpreted your examples.

I don't understand how to use the various parts of your script: Path, To, File and maybe the script is not working because the use of the Path variable is not what it should be or stated properly.

{
"Combiner_CSS":{
combine: "path C:\Users\AlterMedX.net\Documents\Sublime Stuff/to/file1.txt",
combine:"path C:\Users\AlterMedX.net\Documents\Sublime Stuff/to/file2.txt",
combine:"path C:\Users\AlterMedX.net\Documents\Sublime Stuff/to/file3.txt",
output:"path C:\Users\AlterMedX.net\Documents\Sublime Stuff/to/output.file.txt"
},

BTW I did get the Package set up and it appears in the Tools menu, ready to run with a click. The script is in its own text file. Anything else you need to know to help me, please ask. I have all the files specified in a single local directory on C: drive.

Made a few seemingly obvious changes. Did not have the "/" in front of Path variable. Also took a guess at putting the header as Combiner_TXT. My questions remain the same.

{
"Combiner_TXT":{
combine: "/path C:\Users\AlterMedX.net\Documents\Sublime Stuff/to/file1.txt",
combine:"/path C:\Users\AlterMedX.net\Documents\Sublime Stuff/to/file2.txt",
combine:"/path C:\Users\AlterMedX.net\Documents\Sublime Stuff/to/file3.txt",
output:"/path C:\Users\AlterMedX.net\Documents\Sublime Stuff/to/output.file.txt"
},

@happygregory I am not the plugin author but you need to use relative path

Update the Combiner Block:

Use paths relative to the location of the output file or the current working directory.
For example, if styles.css is in the same folder as header.css and style.css, your declaration should look like this:

/*
Combiner:{
  combine:"header.css",
  combine:"style.css",
  output:"styles.css"
}
*/

Trigger the Combiner
Follow the same steps: context menu, Tools menu, or keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+Alt+C).
Keep Directory Structure in Mind and place the code in the output file and not the files that you want to combine.

Why Relative Paths Work Better
Path Consistency: Relative paths prevent conflicts with unnecessary prefixes or invalid directory concatenations.
Simpler Maintenance: Easier to adjust when moving the project to a different environment or system.
