Autoloader question

[marshallw]

I have seen other posts on this, but the links to the answers didn't work for some reason.

Why can't the Autoloader see my existing vault pro structure & allow me to autoload files directly into that structure?

Why does it force me to use a folder called "Designs"?

It would really be nice if we could actually upload files into our existing structure (See pix).

Anyone know of a workaround other than uploading to the designs folder, then going the extra step of moving the new folder(s) in vault from the Designs folder to where they are really supposed to live?

Thanks in advance.

Hope it works for you.

Thank you for your answer.

Created Buu.xml. Attempted to add Buu.xml to vault $ folder. Error said Buu.xml exists in current project & would not let me load it, but I cannot find Buu.xml anywhere in the vault. Why can I not see Buu.xml? Is there a specific location for this file?

Long story short -- the fix does not work.

Any other suggestions?

Go to Tools menu -> Vault Options, check on 'show hidden files', you shall see existing buu.xml file under root folder.

Suggestions:
You can try with an empty Vault firstly to test  if above approach works for you, then back to your previous working Vault with following steps:

1. check out the existing buu.xml file,

2. go to working folder, edit it,

3. then check it back to Vault and try with Autoloader again

Let me know if it works.

Thank you for the help -- I have edited the existing Buu.xml file to point to a project file that looks deeper into my vault folder structure & all is working better now.
