How can I tell IntelliJ to copy all files from a library folder into an output folder on build?

I'm writing the front-end for a small web page using Kotlin/JS. One the of the libraries I want to use is nicEdit. The library consists of two files: the source (nicEdit.js) and an image resource file (nicEditorIcons.gif).



I have placed those two files inside the project folder at lib/nicEdit, and I added that folder as a Kotlin/JS dependency to the main module, with a scope of "Runtime".



When I build the project, nicEdit.js is copied to the out folder just fine, but nicEditorIcons.gif isn't. I'm not sure why this is happening. I can manually move it to the output folder as a temporary workaround, but ideally it should be moved there automatically every time the project is built.



I tried marking the lib folder as a Resource directory too, but that didn't help. Searching online didn't help much since most results talked either about Java classpaths or JavaScript modules (AMD etc.), which I don't believe are relevant here. And these two pages (1, 2) don't go into detail about exactly how the Runtime scope works.



The project is a plain old IntelliJ project, I'm not using gradle or maven.
