It watches into the src folder and compile the new spritesheet whenever some files change occurs.

config.json

A config file looks such as:

{
	"src_image_folder"		: "./src",
	"output_css_folder"  	: "./output/css",
	"output_image_folder"	: "./output/images",
	"selector"  			: ".sprite",
	"output_css"  	 		: "sprite.css",
	"output_image"  		: "sprite.png",
	"output_image_retina"	: "sprite-retina.png"
}

Where:

• src_image_folder (path)
• output_css_folder (path)
• output_image_folder (path)
• selector (css selector)
• output_css (filename)
• output_image (filename)
• output_image_retina (filename)
