Setup
Important Information:
If you have the old version of this extension, Get Folder Files, installed already, please completely remove the extension first by going to SAMMI Core - Bridge - Uninstall before installing this one. You will need to migrate all your existing buttons, as this extension has been completely overhauled.
- Make sure you’re on the latest version of SAMMI and install the extension. You can follow the Extension Install Guide.
- Make sure SAMMI is connected to Bridge. Bridge must be running at all times and be connected to SAMMI for Folder Files extension to work.
- Your basic setup is finished! Please note the premade deck only serves you to review how to use the extension, with some example buttons.
I recommend you create separate buttons in a different deck, so you’re able to easily update the extension in the future without overriding your custom made buttons or commands (since the premade deck will be completely overriden if there are any updates).
