Adding files to sketch data folder does not work

[carmatic]

I am attempting to add a file to the data folder via the 'Sketch Properties' feature
Upon clicking on 'Add File' , a file browser opens up and I can click on one file to put a check mark on it.
'Select' appears on the upper right corner, but once I click on it, the file browser closes without actually doing anything, the 'data' directory was not even created.

I still don't know who this is but I learned that just going straight to the file and copy and pasting in the file your trying to add. And I ussaly just make a data folder manually named exactly "data". I have had my far share of loading and saving text docs in the data folder. 😆 If you would want to see my GitHub I can definitely send you a link to it.

I suggest you use a file manager (TotalCommander( outside of APDE to copy files to the data folder.

If you want to use subfolders there, be aware that they will not be accessible in Preview (see #88 for explanation & workaround)
