Creating Subfolders

Once you have created custom folders, you can then add subfolders.

Note:

In TSE mode, you cannot add custom folders or subfolders.

To add a subfolder:

1. In the option tree, click Custom Folders under Directories. The Directories: Custom Folders pane appears on the right.
2. On the Directories: Custom Folders pane, select the folder where you want to add a subfolder and click Add Sub Folder. The Add Custom Directory dialog box opens with the parent directory macro set by the custom folder you selected.

The name of the macro appears in the New Directory Macro box with an new increment number. The Default Destination Path lists the directory in which the new folder will be created. The macro you select from the Choose Parent Directory Macro list determines the location of the new folder.

3. In the New Directory Name box, type the name you want to assign the new subfolder. If the subfolder name exceeds 8 characters or contains a space, you must use the following format:

shortname|longname

where shortname is an 8.3 MS DOS name for the subfolder name and longname is the full subfolder name.

Tip:  8.3 file names have a maximum of 8 characters optionally followed by a dot (.) and then a maximum of three characters. For example, you could use myfold~1 for My Folder.

4. If you want the installation to create the subfolder even if it does not contain any files, select the Always Create This Folder check box.
5. Click OK to create the custom subfolder and return to the Directories: Custom Folders pane. The folder appears in the list of custom directories.
