Hello, I am running AI studio 2025.0.0 and when i go to import read csv none of my files appear in my downloads or desktop. I tried going around this by dragging and dropping the file but it kept giving me an error. i also triedd uninstalling and reinstalling.

    Hello there, just a quick question—while using the Read CSV operator, did you check the file type selector on the bottom right? Make sure it's set to "All Files" or "CSV" to ensure your CSV files are visible.

    Regarding the second image, it’s just a warning. It means that if you move the directory containing your data and programs to another computer, you may encounter errors unless the file paths remain exactly the same. If you’re not planning to switch computers or share your programs, you can safely ignore this message.

    To resolve this warning, follow these steps:

    1. Add a new repository: <your_new_repository_name>.
    2. Create a subfolder named "Data" in the repository.
    3. Create another subfolder named "Processes".
    4. Save your process in the "Processes" subfolder.
    5. Import your data (e.g., XLSX or CSV file) into the "Data" subfolder.
    6. Add a Retrieve operator.
    7. Go to Repository Entry and select your dataset from the "Data" subfolder.
    8. Tick the checkbox for "Resolve relative to" and click OK.

    It still is not recognizing any files though. I looked at my permissions as well and AISTUDIO has full drive acess.
