File Set directories not showing in Files web part eva pujadas  2016-04-15 02:15

Dear LabKey team,

We are testing the "File Sets" feature to be able to access an existing directory containing files and subdirectories from our PROD LabKey instance.
When creating a File Set in the following way:
 from the "Files" Web part --> customize --> Configure file roots --> ADD FILE SET
the files contained in the selected File Set Path show in the Files web part, but the folders do not.

About creating, one can create files and folders from the Files web part, and they get created in the file system, but again, only the files show (not the folders).

Do you have any hints why that is?

Thank you very much in advance for your help,
Eva

Hi Eva,

This is actually the expected behavior as addressed in our docs here:

https://www.labkey.org/wiki/home/Documentation/page.view?name=setRoots#named

File Sets will only show a single directory and not including any subdirectories.

Regards,

Jon
