[Qgis-user] Training Material - issues!

[Martinsullivan]

Thank you,
Just before I posted a reply I thought I would download a fresh version of the exercise data.

I can see the issue - when un-zipping there was a question 'Do you want to copy this folder without encryption?' And I think the first time I selected skip! This time I chose Yes and obviously this has opened the missing files and folders.

Why are there encrypted files?

So problem solved and thank you everyone for your help. I can continue!
