Hello all:

I have created lots of return packages with subfolders before, but I don't know why this one is different.

On the SDL "Files" view, I click on the top level project name and the File list pane shows the files on that top level. I select all those files. When I click on the "Create Return Package" icon, only those files show up in the list of files to be included in the package, and I have no option to add the subfolder.

Hello all:

I have created lots of return packages with subfolders before, but I don't know why this one is different.

On the SDL "Files" view, I click on the top level project name and the File list pane shows the files on that top level. I select all those files. When I click on the "Create Return Package" icon, only those files show up in the list of files to be included in the package, and I have no option to add the subfolder.

On previous projects, if I clicked on the top level I could click on "Create Return Package" and all the files would be selected for the package. I don't know why if I don't select files, the Icon to create return package is grayed out.

If I click on the subfolder and select all the files there, I get the reverse situation. All the files in the subfolder appear in the list of files to add to the package, and I have no way to add the files on the top level.

I appreciate your help. This has to be something really stupid that I'm missing.

Regards,
Enrique

Found the solution Apr 5, 2016

I knew it was something stupid. I had not seen the checkmark "Include subfolders" that appears below the project tree. I marked it, and now all the files appear on the file list pane, so I can create my return package.

I feel a bit dumb, but glad I figured it out.

Regards,
Enrique
