If you want to compile a website using the settings of an existing project, you can use ExeOutput for PHP’s Clone Project feature.
Normally, once a project is started, you cannot change its source folder. The Clone Project feature allows you to define a new source folder by selecting a new index page.
You can access this feature by selecting the menu command Project | Clone Project from the Application menu: 
Steps to Clone a Project #
- Open the project file you would like to clone.
- Use the File | Clone Project menu command. A window with instructions will appear; click Continue.
- You will be prompted to select the new index page. This works exactly as if you were starting a new project: select the HTML file that will be used as the index page of your new cloned application. The folder containing this page will also become the new source folder.
- The next dialog will ask you to enter the filename for the new project.
- ExeOutput for PHP then starts a new project, uses the settings of the previously loaded project, and scans the new source folder. Once complete, the project file is saved and then reloaded to clear memory.
