direct setting of paths in the settings an AD project without importing additional sources via an API

It's on:
Currently, paths (e.g. to includes on the local server) are only set in the settings of an AD project using a batch process if the resources are imported from the local folder beforehand. The import process evaluates the information from the given config.ini file, imports the resources and creates an entry of the path in the settings in the corresponding AD project. Especially with a large number of Includes, which are only partially used, this import of all Includes takes more time than comparing the setting of the path via the Build Client without a complete import.
