569 PointsUnable to select & download project file.
On Windows, I extracted the image files for Structure the Image Gallery track. I am unable to select them correctly to drop them onto the workspace. Also, .DS_Store shows at the top of the img list above facebook.png.

You can preview the files in an archive on Windows but they don't work right until you extract them to a new folder. .DS_Store is a system file and doesn't need to be uploaded to the workspace.

569 PointsThat's what I think the instructor was saying about .DS_Store. Thanks. Unfortunately for me, Nick uses apple, not windows, so opening and extracting looks different than mine. Once I get to zip file, HowToMakeAWebsite, the top menu says Extract Files, so I highlight the files and click on that button. Then it gives a box, Select destination and extract files? When I click Extract, I get another box with two img folders, asking if I want to replace and merge them. I select Skip. Then I get a folder with two files: img and index.html. I double clicked on img and now the images are shown with their titles. Oops, now I figured out how to change the icons to list form, which helps. But still I am unable to drag and drop all of them. I highlight, but it won't drag.

569 PointsSigh, FINALLY! Selected and dragged to workspace. Thank you very much. Your directions also helped me find other little errors I had made on the way. Thanks, Andrew.
