Could not find a part of the path etc. : How to solve this systematically?

This is a recurrent problem that I have learnt to solve by renaming Folder 16 in the Roaming file of SDL and then do a Restart. The problem is that this error keeps on recurring every time I leave my computer for a few minutes (iddling away).

Could you please advise on a more efficient, long term strategy for this?

I thank you in advance for any enlightenment!

  • Hi ,

    we have just realized that the cause for the error message "Could not find part of the path ..." when creating a package might often be related to the project being copied or moved from one location to another after creation.

    This is related to the settings of the SDLXLIFF file type within the project. Here, you can define the size of the source file until which Studio should embed the file within the SDLXLIFF. If your source file is bigger than the threshold set here, instead of embedding the source file into the SDLXLIFF Studio writes a reference to the location of the source file into the SDLXLIFF. When trying to create a package, Studio uses this reference to look for the source file in order to include it into the package (this was implemented in Cumulative Update 8 for SR1). Since the project was moved, the reference points to the wrong directory and Studio cannot "find part of the path".

    So, a solution in these cases would be to set the size threshold for embedding the source file into the SDLXLIFF to the maximum. Then, you will only encounter this error in cases where the source file is bigger than the maximum of 100MB.

  • Interesting Luciano, I will definitely test this theory next time the situation arises. Very great to get more intel on the question!
