What do you get with “add dirname “ with nothing after it? That has always restored the whole directory, and all of its contents, for me. I’ve never tried adding anything after the dirname. If I want single files (or a bunch of files) I CD into that directory, and add “ abc* ” or some such. Still just a single “Add” term, with no slashes in it.
