Directory Structures & Repositories

[Guest]

I have some components for my applications that have subfolders, and all
filenames are unique when reduced to a flat file structure. I've created the
repository for Timothy, but when I add the files to the
Component using Add, "Files in Folder" - I'm adding the files from another
directory ie C:\Timothy that contains all my files listed in the Repository,
but with the required subfolder structure. Hence the files are in two places
instead of one (which I'm not happy with, but it seems to work).

I'm also trying to create another component where the files that belong to
the component have a non flat file structure - ie serveral folders &
subfolders with filenames that are NOT unique when the file structure is
removed. It would be rather tedious & erroneous to manually deal with
duplicated filenames & subfolder structure.

What is the best way to deal with non-unique filenames & a subfolder
structure when creating a repository for a component.

Thanks

Darren

I just responded to the other thread you posted a few minutes ago on this
subject. The answer is to decorate the file names in the repository and
update the file resource properties to reflect this in CD so TD will consume
the files properly.

Read this for the steps on decorating file resources.
