Importing "All Files," does not

[ccardimon]

When I used the Import function and select All Files, I sort of expect all files to be imported from whatever Flare project I choose.

However, I am getting only the HTM files and must return to get the CSS files and the rest.

Suggestions?

This is a gotcha in the UI.
When you have filled in the first screen of the Import Flare Project Wizard, make sure to click Next, not Finish.
On the second screen, the first line says "Include Files". Click the down arrow and select All Files. If you don't do this, It defaults to *.htm.

I really wish you could set this globally, because I almost always want all files.

Okay, wait a minute. I am using the Import folder under Project. This is labeled the Project Import Editor. I don't get the options of Next or Finish. I have only "Reimport," which does a less-than-stellar job.

Hi there,

What search criteria is listed in your Include Files text box? To import everything, the only string displayed in the text box should be *.*

This is what my Include Files box says:

"All Files (*.*)"

There are too many ways to import and too many places to do it. What I was looking at was importing an existing Flare project into another (also existing) project.

I get there via:
Project > Import > Flare Project.
I get a dialog that says: Select Project to Import.
I usually uncheck "Auto-reimport before 'Generate output'". I also usually delete the import file after I do this.

Craig,

There are two other tabs in the Project Import Editor. You may want to check the Removed Links tab - files listed here are no longer imported.

I have this set to all files set and it works fine.
