CCS/TMS320F28069: Cannot link folder I created

Part Number: TMS320F28069

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

I am trying to figure out how to create folders in code composer studio 7 and then link them to the build so I can put code in them.

I created an empty project for the TMS320F28069 processor, Created a folder "src" which shows up on Project explorer. I press control + shift, drag it over the top level project folder and a box appears 

the "File and Folder Options" box appears, I select Link to files and folders, and keep the box checked that says Create link locations relative to PROJECT_LOC

Then... a box shows up saying I have to name it "src2" which makes no sense because I want to link the folder I created and even if I capitulate and say sure and click on src2 neither of the two folders have the tiny arrow  that signifies they are linked... Why is this? 

Thanks 

Bill

    By default, creating a folder within a project physically adds it into the project folder. Hence it cannot be linked after that. Files and folders can be either added (physically contained within the directory in the file system) or linked at a time, but not both. 

    You can create the src folder in the directory where you wish to keep it in the filesystem (using Windows explorer etc) and then link it to the project (reference article here).
