Rich, are you on Windows? The screenshot you provided doesn't look at all like what I see on my Mac. Maybe that's the problem, that the UI works differently on Windows than on a Mac.

- Robert F.419 years agoHelpful | Level 6Rich, I just discovered the problem which is that you _don't_ want to right-click _directly_ on the folder to bring up the menu you described. You have to right-click anywhere on the horizontal bar that contains the folder _except_on_the_folder_itself_. When you RC directly on the folder, you get the menu I've been describing. Yeesh.

Yeesh.Sort of, but not exactly. If you right-click on the folder icon without the row being selected, you won't get the Download option. If the row is selected, you will. (Note, when I referred to the white-space earlier, I was not referring to the row, but the space above and below it.) Right-clicking the row anywhere will select it and give the Download option at the same time.
