Picked the wrong file, or the same one twice? Take it out with ×

← All articles Email RSS Atom

On Create project and on Draft a new release, the list under the file boxes shows every file you picked and what it will become. A browser file box can only be picked again as a whole, so one wrong file among many used to mean picking them all again. Now each file can be taken out on its own.

Take one file out

  1. Find the file in the list under the boxes.
  2. Press the small × at the end of its row. Screen readers call it Remove followed by the file name.

Only that file goes. It leaves the box it was picked in: the installer box (Installer file on Create project, Main installer on a new release) or Additional files. Everything then runs again as if you had picked the files fresh: the list, your free storage, the name filled in from the installer and the version checks.

If you use the keyboard, focus stays in the list: on the × of the next file, or the last one, or on the empty file box once nothing is left.

A file picked twice

Picking the installer in the installer box and then the whole folder in Additional files puts the installer in the release twice. The second time a file name appears, its row says Also picked above — remove one copy, in the warning colour. Press the × on that row to take the extra copy out; the one above stays.

  • Names are compared without regard to capital letters, so App.zip and app.zip count as the same name.
  • It is a note, not a refusal: two files can share a name and still be different, so the publish button is not held for it.
  • If you leave both copies in, both are uploaded and both count against your storage.

Good to know

  • With a very long list, only the first 50 files get a row; the rest are counted in a line like …and 12 more files. Those have no × and are not checked for repeats.
  • In a browser that cannot rebuild a file box, the rows have no ×. Pick the files again instead.
  • A file marked Not accepted can be taken out with its × too.
