This view shows the files and folders of the capture project. It allows the addition of files, folders, and drives to the target package built from the project, or excludes files, folders, or drives from the target package built of the project. It also permits the renaming of files and folders.
The main view consists of two sections: The directory tree on the left and the file details on the right.
The Directory Tree Area
The directory tree displays all folders that have been recorded as relevant during the capture process.
The tree contains a root node for each drive that is present. When the Files and Folders view is loaded for the first time, the directory tree is collapsed. Click on the black arrow at the left hand side of the icons to expand the tree. As an alternative, it is also possible to navigate with the arrow keys on the keyboard: Simply select a directory from the tree and move the focus by using the up, down, right, and left arrows on the keyboard.
Each drive contains directories, symbolized by folder icons. The icons are slightly different according to the manipulation that has been applied to the folder during the capture procedure:
A blank folder icon refers to changed content. The directory itself has already been present on the local machine before the capture process has been executed.
A folder icon with a plus symbol refers to a newly created directory.
A folder icon with a minus symbol refers to a directory that has been deleted from the local machine during the capture process.
The name of the directory is displayed at the right-hand side of the icon. If the name is marked with red font color and struck through, it is currently excluded. Excluded resources have been recorded during the capture procedure, but are not relevant for a later target package built from the capture project.

The File Details Area
This area displays all files that are stored within the currently selected directory from the tree view on the left-hand side. Files are symbolized by different icons. The icons are slightly different according to the manipulation that has been applied to the file during the capture procedure:
A file icon with a pencil refers to changed file content. The file itself has already been present on the local machine before the capture process has been executed.
A file icon with a plus symbol refers to a newly created file.
A file icon with a minus symbol refers to a file that has been deleted from the local machine during the capture process.
The name of the file is displayed at the right-hand side of the icon. If the name is marked with red font color and struck through, it is currently excluded. Excluded resources have been recorded during the capture procedure, but are not relevant for a later target package built from the capture project.

Adding a Root Drive
The ADD NEW ROOT DRIVE button at the top of the Files and Folders details pane allows the user to add a drive to the capture project. Once the button is clicked, the new root drive will appear. The name of the new root drive is set automatically, according to the already existing set of root drives.
Renaming a Root Drive
In order to rename a root drive, press F2 when the node is focused and enter the new name.
The newly entered root drive name has to be provided as drive name plus colon, e. g. "X:". RayPack automatically prepends the keyword Drive and appends a backslash (\) to the entered value.
