When adding components to an FME Server project sometimes it can be that I want to add just specific files - e.g., 3rd party python dependencies which are in the root python3.XX folder.
9 times out of 10 its fine to have just the folder, however, if I add the python311 folder to my project because I was just one file from the folder then I end up with all of the other stuff in the folder.
Then if I choose to delete the project (and all of it’s contents) then all of the files in that python311 folder are gone too.
The same is true if I have just a file sitting in the $(FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_DATA) folder. The fix here is easy enough - just put it in a folder, however, that then requires changing the workspace which may use that file which might not always be that easy or my have knock on effects.
