A related problem:
Sometimes RH gets confused about where a baggage file is when
it's in a "subdirectory." Bear in mind, this structure does not
segregate baggage files in the project folder. All are at the root
level, and there is no "Baggage files" folder.
Symptoms include RH marking a baggage file in the
"subdirectory" as missing, although you can see it right there in
the RH project folder in the Windows directory. And it's a chore to
force RH to reimport it, because the import dialog tells you it's
already in the project, despite the "missing" icon. Trying to
delete the "missing" item also runs into trouble.
The brute force solution is to open the CPD file in MS Access
and to delete all references to the affected baggage files in
database tables. Probably you'll get some broken links, but you can
import them again from outside the project folder. This does not
guarantee that RH will not lose track again.
As a result, I do not try to segregate baggage files in the
project TOC.
Another warning: When you "delete" a baggage file, RH leaves
it in the project folder but is completely ignorant of its
whereabouts. You have to delete it manually in Windows. On the
other hand, once RH has accepted a baggage file, do not delete it
from the Windows directory until you have "deleted" it from the RH
directory.
