You are selecting the right folder. It's not working for me either, which is strange because it was working for me when I was running from source. And the importer code hasn't changed any since then.

I was reading stackoverflow, and it says that "or" sometimes doesn't do anything. Maybe that's the trouble here. Here's the relevant lines of code from the importer py:

Code: [Select]

    if not (os.path.isdir(src_prefix) or os.path.dirname(src_prefix)):
        # parent dir is a real path, even when os.path.commonprefix isn't
        msg = 'Can only import content from single basedir'

I'm wondering if maybe it's only checking that "os.path.isdir(src_prefix)" and completely ignoring the "os.path.dirname(src_prefix)".

That statoverflow question is 3 years old. Maybe this was a bug in an older version of Python that has since been fixed. And maybe the bundled version of Python is out-of-date. This would explain why it might only work properly when running from source, anyway.

Sorry, if this is stupid and doesn't make any sense at all. I'm not a programmer.

I'm having this same error with "Can only import content from single basedir"

I don't have my py enviorn set up on this machine, and its been a while since i tried to code in py anyway, but is this a parentheses error? Should it be

 if not ( (os.path.isdir(src_prefix) or os.path.dirname(src_prefix)) ):

That is, is the correct eval for
NOT (A OR B)
or is the correct eval for
(NOT(A)) OR (B)
