What did you get as the error?

Running quasar build -m electron overwrites any previously created electron builds in the dist folder.

What were you expecting?

I would expect previous builds (of a different architecture / platform) to remain, alongside the newly created build. For example, when creating Windows 10 apps, you need to build both a 32-bit version and a 64-bit version - so the desire would be to first create the 64-bit version, then create the 32-bit version without the 64-bit version being deleted.

What steps did you take, to get the error?

• In quasar.conf.js, set the architecture to 64-bit and the platform to Windows:

electron: {
  packager: {
    platform: 'win32',
    arch: 'x64'
  }
}

• Create the build: quasar build -m electron
• This will create the build in the folder dist > electron-mat > MyApp-win32-x64
• Now, change the architecture to 32-bit:

electron: {
  packager: {
    platform: 'win32',
    arch: 'ia32'
  }
}

• Create the build: quasar build -m electron
• Once complete, note that the first build folder (MyApp-win32-x64) has been removed
