meaning of different icons

AI 8.0.2

In my project under Files and Folders -> Application Folder I have some of the sub-folders with a simple folder icon and others with an X over the folder icon. I cannot find anywhere that describes what the X means for the folders that have it. Everything seems to work fine but I'm worried that these icons are trying to tell me something. Where do I go to find out what this means.

Could you attach a printscreen to help understand?

Re: meaning of different icons

Hello Ed,

The "x" mark over your folder means that you have a file/folder removal operation. To check this, simply right click on your file/folder --> "Properties" --> "Operations" tab and there you should have the "Remove folder" option checked.

For more information about this, you can have a look on our "File Operations in the Files And Folders Page" article.

Hope this helps.

Also, thank you for contributing to our forums, Diego, we highly appreciate that.

All the best,
