I am creating several subfolders under the "File" folder (project folder) and when I generated the executable using the NW.js, the subfolders weren't created and the files are appearing with the other files in the root. What I'm doing wrong?

You are not doing anything wrong, this is how it's designed.

I believe you can move files manually to subfolders after exporting your game, but you will need to update all AJAX calls - replace "AJAX request project file" with "AJAX request URL -> subfolder/filename"

Hi dop2000 thanks for helping me. I want to try your suggestion, but I don't know where I need to make this change. I am not using Ajax object but I believe it should be part of NW.js. Am I right? Do I need to edit some file or I've to do this directly on C3 event sheet?

So what are these files for and how do you access and use them in the game?

These images are in the "Files" folder and I am loading them using "Load image from URL". I am also reading a text file using the NWjs.ReadFile command.

EDITED: Ok. I got it. I just included the folder name in front of the file name on the path and after I generated the files I created this folder and moved the file into it. Thanks for your help.
