Angular2-cli not copying shared folder files to dist

Question

Im using the Angular-cli for my angular 2 project and doing a production build using

ng b -prod

the project is created using the ng-clig and as i understand all static resources like images should be placed in the shared folder

However when examining the dist folder ,it doesn't have any of the images....

Is this a known issue or i need to add something?

You have an incorrect understanding of the shared folder. It is not a place to put files you wish to have copied to the build output folder. The folder you are looking for is entitled assets those files will be copied to the output directory, dist for both dev and prod builds.

The shared directory is a place to put common (or shared) portions of your application, whether they be components, directives, pipes, classes or services.
