The Exo project cannot be merged. exoAppleIIGS to ExoDOS

[Gygoracdes]

I installed Exodos with all the DOS games. Great. Then I also installed AppleIIGS as a separate project.
After that, I followed the instructions in this tutorial Link:

Moved the folders etc. from one project to the other! Well, the tutorial says it works, but it doesn't in practice.

Now I don't see any DOS games anymore! Only AppleIIGS games.

Uh... WTF?

Luckily, I installed it separately on another PC, otherwise I'd be furious.

what now? I need some help... I've been trying to merge these projects for ages...

and that guy in the tutorial says it's totally easy.

how ironic...

And when I move the parents.xml file from the backup back into the Data folder, I only see the DOS games.

What kind of joke is this?

Furthermore, a new folder (capture) has appeared containing data...

I haven't seen any tutorial that even mentions this folder.

What do you do with it? What's it for?

Does anyone have even the slightest clue?

Solution:

According to the tutorial, you're supposed to move and replace the parent file and the plugin folder in the existing project.

This didn't work for me.

Unless I don't move the aforementioned elements into the new project. Then it works.
