I've read a number of posts that talk about how to set up a simple development environment for making extensions to an Umbraco site. They appear to involve "mirroring" certain folders from the site in the development environment, and then copying certain development files (e.g., ascx files) to the Umbraco site. Is that correct?
But does simply copying, say, a new masterpage to the masterpages folder in an Umbraco site complete the process? Does the database that Umbraco is built on automagically pick up those new files and create entries for them, or do I need to "copy" them into the database via the Umbraco UI?
In version 4 the templates are not stored in the DB but on the filesystem, therefore simply replacing them files will be picked up automatically by Umbraco.
