Items to Package

Type	The kind of the file (for example, layout, preset, or library) you want to include with your package. A list of elements matching the type you selected appears in the Items box. You can include elements of different types in the same add-on.
Items	The elements of the selected type available on your system to include in the add-on. Check the corresponding box to include an element. In some cases, you cannot select or deselect individual items that are dependents of another item. For example, if you add a preset to your package, you have to include any SPDL files that are associated with it. If Type is Events, there are three columns: Name indicates the name of the event handler function (for example, CheckinCurrentScene). Event indicates which event this component is associated to (for example, OnBeginSceneOpen). Filename indicates the path and name of the file containing the event handler (for example, C:\cc_handlers.vbs) If Type is Others, there are also three columns: Filename indicates the name of the file associated with this component (for example, myLittleEngine.hlp). Destination Directory indicates where the file will go inside the one you specified for the add-on. File Path indicates where this file currently resides on your machine.
Select All	Select all elements of the selected type for inclusion in the add-on.
Select None	Deselect all elements of the selected type.

Installation Sub-directory

Specifies a target subdirectory of the destination where the packaged files will be placed when the add-on is installed on user machines. It is recommended that add-ons be installed to subdirectories because it keeps the add-on directory structure clean and avoids name conflicts.

Use filename installs in a subdirectory based on the add-on file's name.
Specify subdirectory lets you enter a subdirectory name in Custom.
None does not use a subdirectory and installs the add-on to the root of the destination. This is not recommended.

Installation Default Destination

Specifies the default destination for installing you add-on: User, Workgroup, or Factory.

At installation time, users can select a different destination than specified here.
