When deploying, why does PhotoViewer PLUS insist on deleting all the files that were in the folder?

0

When a Photo Collection Set is being deployed, all the required files must be collected into some folder. That folder is chosen by you when you start the deploy operation. In order to assure a reliable deployment, the folder you choose must be completely empty before any files are copied over. If it is not empty, PhotoViewer PLUS prompts you to either delete the files in the folder or abort the deployment. If you instruct PhotoViewer PLUS to delete the old files, they will not actually be removed, they will be moved to the Recycle Bin. There is one case where PhotoViewer PLUS will refuse to delete the files: if none of the files can be clearly identified as part of a previous Photo Collection Set. PhotoViewer PLUS will remove old files if they are part of a previous Photo Collection Set, since you are probably deploying an improved replacement. But if the files are unknown to PhotoViewer PLUS, they will not be removed (as a precaution against data loss), the deployment will be aborted.
