Once a folder has been created as part of a packaging projects directory structure, its properties can be adjusted.

•right-click the folder within the right window of the package file browser.
oTo edit the folder properties within the Visual Designer interface, users select the Properties option from the context menu.
oTo edit the folder properties directly within the resembling row of the Directory table of the TABLES view of the Advanced mode, users select Go to row from the context menu.
•left-click the folder within the right window of the package file browser and use the key combination Alt + Enter.
The FOLDER PROPERTIES dialog is displayed and reveals three tabs of property groups for manipulation.
The name of the folder as it appears on the target machine. It has to be unique among the folders within one directory. A folder name may not contain special characters or be empty. Internally, RayPack uses the folder name to build the folders DefaultDir value within the Directory table.
The identifier is the unique internal pointer to the folder. The Identifier data type is a text string. Identifiers may contain the ASCII characters A-Z (a-z), digits, underscores (_), or periods (.). However, every identifier must begin with either a letter or an underscore.
This tab contains an editor of linked folders as well. Refer to the chapter Importing files and folders on build time for more information.
If this checkbox is active, RayPack adds a row to the RemoveFile table within the Installer database to make sure that the folder is removed when uninstalling, otherwise it will be left empty on the system.
If this checkbox is active, RayPack adds a row to the CreateFolder table within the Installer database to make sure that the folder is created during installation, even if it is empty.
