Copying a whole heirarchy of files & folders

[niteco-matt]

Great tool, but there's one issue I am facing with certain packages: what sort of wildcard can I use to copy all sub-folders and the files in them in the same structure? For example, look at the tinymce package, it has 3 sub-folders: plugins, skins and themes each with multiple other sub-folders of their own.. and in some packages there might be quite a few levels worth of files. Nobody wants to manually specify each sub-folder and sub-sub-folder, etc.. Do you already have some way to do this? If so, please put it in the documentation. If not, please consider adding such a useful feature. Thanks

Wondering same thing, However I am searching through all the issues tickets for this.
However I like to reference this, #21 if it is not already known.

Not sure it's the best way to handle this, but when I ran into this issue the best way I found out to handle it is in your Gruntfile.js, under the bower section, change layout to be 'byComponent'. Then when files get transferred over they'll follow the hierarchy of 'package/js' instead of 'js/package'. I still ran into the issue where not all needed files transferred over, so I had to do things like this:

"bootstrap": {
"css" : ["**/*.css","**/*.map"],
"js" : "**/*.js",
"less": "**/*.less",
"fonts" : ["**/*.eot", "**/*.svg", "**/*.tiff", "**/*.woff"]
}

To ensure all the files I needed got transferred. Still though, everything was in the correct 'hierarchy' so it works out.

@niteco-matt did the suggestion by @robogen solve your problem?
