The file dependency action allows you to control the flow of your build based on whether or not a file (or set of files) has changed relative to a time stamp.

For example, you can choose to run a set of compiler actions only if the source files are newer than the compiled application.

In order to use a file dependency action, you have to choose

(a) the tiles and folders to check (the "source files") and.

(b) the date timestamp to compare them to.
