Folders Disappearing

[SheriDi]

I created a folder in NT Editor to keep my some of my strategies. It disappeared from the list so i tried to create another folder with the same name, and NT tells me I can't do it because there is already a folder by that name. I was able to see the folder in File Explorer up until a few days ago, but now it is gone. I created another folder with a different name that I can see in Explorer, but it does not appear in NT Editor.

Additionally, when I add a strategy to a chart, the original folder is shown.

Hello SheriDi,


Thank you for the post.

Making a folder or moving an existing file into a folder within the NinjaScript editor will automatically change the namespace of the script to the name of the folder for organizational purposes.

If you move the script files into folders from the Windows file explorer, the indicator's namespace will not change.
If you have created the folder from the Windows Explorer, I recommend deleting this folder from the Windows Explorer and creating the folder from the NinjaScript Editor to avoid conflicts.

Please let me know if I can assist further.

Thank you Eduardo. I don't recall how I created the folder, but it is not in Windows File Explorer and it is not in NinjaScript Editor. But if I try to create a folder with the same name from NS Editor, it tells me that there is already a folder by that name.

Hello SheriDi,

Thank you for your reply.

The NinjaScript Explorer supports nested folders, so your missing folder may be located inside another folder.
Expand each folder tree in the Explorer and look carefully. If you do find your folder in the wrong spot, you may drag-and-drop it to another folder.

If you continue to notice this behavior, please let me know and we can troubleshoot further.

I do have a folder by that name under Indicators. Would that be the problem?

Hello SheriDi,

Thank you for your reply.

This folder is likely the issue.
To test this, please delete this folder.
Within the NinjaScript Explorer, right-click on the folder and select 'Delete'.
