How to specify correct output folder for CSS using SASS & LiveReload?

Question

Having a strange problem.

I'm using SASS, I have compass installed, but don't need to use it because I have LiveReload.

With LiveReload I've pasted the script into my index2.html file. Then in Output Paths I have my sass/main.scss folder targeted to the css/main.css folder. However for some reason it still outputs to a stylesheet folder.

This is driving me nuts, how do I force SASS or lifereload to make sure I'm outputting to the correct folder? I never created the stylesheets folder and when I deleted and make a change and save my main.scss file it recreates the stylesheets folder and puts main.css inside that X_X

Edit: I believe it is a config file somewhere in this python project. I Found a config.rb file, but path seems fine there, so it must be another setting somewhere... I'm going to keep looking, or I could ask the Python dev Monday

config.rb

# Require any additional compass plugins here.

require 'compass/util'

require 'compass/browser_support'

require 'compass/sass_extensions'

require 'compass/version'

require 'compass/errors'

require 'compass_twitter_bootstrap'

require 'breakpoint'

require 'toolkit'



# Set this to the root of your project when deployed:

http_path = "/"

css_dir = "css"

sass_dir = "sass"

images_dir = "img"

javascripts_dir = "scripts/js"

environment = :production

output_style = (environment == :production) ? :compressed : :expanded

enter image description here

Note, still no luck... but I did install the trail for Codekit and bam... it outputs to the css folder. Hopefully someone can help me with LiveReload however — Leon Gaban, Jun 01 '13 at 22:54
I would suggest you go ALL IN and buy codekit. It does a whole lot more stuff than LiveReload that you will enjoy. — nouveau, Jun 01 '13 at 23:39

The problem was how it was setup by the previous developer, not that he was causing a bug, it was just the way he had it setup.

I created a new folder and moved my files there and now my SCSS files in the SASS folder does compile correctly into the CSS folder.

Just change your link to your css with the appropriate styles folder you speak of. Wouldn't that be just as quick of a solution?

Well yeah I could, but I like my css inside of a css folder, not a stylesheets folder... this is such a strange bug – Leon Gaban Jun 02 '13 at 06:16
It seems to be a limitation of the tool you are using. Something is telling it to make that stylesheet folder - have you asked the people who make LiveReload? – nouveau Jun 02 '13 at 18:05
