I'm running a Shape2Shape translation on FME Desktop win64 2013 sp3, and one of the three output datasets the options for "Inspect" and "Open Containing Folder" are greyed out.  I can open the datasets in Inspect outside FME with no problems and the other two datasets I built in the workspace are accessibe. 

 

 

It doesn't really affect my process but I am just curious to see if anyone know why this might happen.

Hi,

 

 

I can reproduce this when the output dataset points to a directory that does not yet exist. The easiest way to verify this is to copy the value of "Destination ESRI Shape directory" into the Windows Explorer. It will let you know right away if the folder doesn't exist.
