Hello, Team!
I'm working on the translation end of Trados and cannot open one of the translation packages I was sent. In the Open Project window, an error message reads "The specified folder already contains files. Choose a new or empty folder." (translated, got the message in German). I'm shown that there are files in the project, but the project simply won't open, as the "Finish" button isn't active. Has anyone else encountered this problem? I would be very thankful for your help!
Hi Kai,
You probably just need to have a new folder to for Studio to create the project in. This article sheds some light on this around half way down... ish:

ok - the reason you get this message is because you are opening the package and saving into a location that is not empty. 2015 SR2 has this option:
So if you use this checkbox then you will always ensure that the new folder is being created into which the package will expand the project.
In general, if you remove this additional name of the project from the path then you very likely going to be installing the project files into a folder that already contains many files and folders... this could lead to an unmanageable mess and potential for overwriting and merging folders. So just make sure you always have a new folder... whatever the name.

Hi Nico,
I can't see your screenshot. You have to reply with rich formatting and then you add your images as files from the menu options:
On your problem. If you don't see these options for saving the package then it's probably because you have already opened the package before so Studio won't duplicate it. If you drop me an email, pfilkin@sdl.com, then maybe I can just show you over Skype so we resolve this problem for you.
