Re: create blank directory
Hello and welcome to Advanced Installer forums,
Thank you for your interest in Advanced Installer.
In order to create a new folder in "Files and Folders" view you can use the [ New Folder ] toolbar button, the “New Folder” tree/list context menu item or press the "Insert" key while the tree control is focused.
Also, if you want the related directory to be always created on target machine, then from its context menu choose "Properties..." option. Then, in the "Edit Folder" -> "Properties" tab check "Create folder on target machine" option.
If you have any questions let us know.
All the best,
Daniel

With 10.9.1 using a staged directory structure for the appdir source empty folders are NOT created. When using the folder Properties to set "Create folder on target machine" the checkbox does NOT retain the setting after a save, close AI, and restarting AI. When going to back check the setting is always cleared (disabled).Daniel wrote:In order to create a new folder in "Files and Folders" view you can use the [ New Folder ] toolbar button, the “New Folder” tree/list context menu item or press the "Insert" key while the tree control is focused.

Is there a solution without putting a dummy file in the directory?

Hello,
Currently this is our default implementation when using the synchronized folder option. However, we will try to add an improvement regarding this in a future version of Advanced Installer. Thank you for your suggestion. Until then, as a workaround you can create the related blank folder on disk under the synchronized root folder.
If you have any questions just let us know.
