specify build folder in order to better support multiple build folders #77

Closed bstabler closed 7 years ago

bstabler commented 7 years ago

Often many build scenarios are run against a single base scenario. Should we copy the base folder input data each time, or just add support for multiple build folders? Or maybe just a base and build input and outputs folder location in the settings file?

toliwaga commented 7 years ago

I think we should allow user to specify alternate base and build input and outputs folder location in the settings file? if nothing is specified, uses the default folder names/locations

bstabler commented 7 years ago

I agree

toliwaga commented 7 years ago

The base-build distinction doesn't apply as well to the abm data which has nasty combined basetrips_buildlos.csv files etc.

toliwaga commented 7 years ago

Could punt for now with 3 configs (data, base_data, build_data), or should the combo files all go into the build-data folder?

bstabler commented 7 years ago

let's hold off on this for now since it might be more confusing to the user to support this, then it is inconvenient to copy the folder for each analysis
