+**Updating batch scripts for project root context**
+
+I’m adjusting the ZipSeqArchv.bat and Unzip scripts so they run inside the Renders folder but set the working directory to the project root (parent folder). This involves setting RENDERS_DIR and PROJECT_ROOT variables properly, using pushd to switch directory, and adding logs for missing scripts or Python. I plan to update both bat files, ensure paths are sanitized, preserve the absolute Python script path, add setlocal, and test running from actual Renders project folders like `251106_NewProject`.Tool use: **code_edit** • Edit file: ZipSeqArchv.bat

+**Verifying project folder paths and test setup**
+
+I’m trying to figure out if the project folder really got created or if path mapping issues are hiding it, especially with network shares involved. To test reliably, I’m thinking of creating a temporary folder that mimics the scenario and running the zipped script there with a controlled environment to check for proper messages and behavior.Tool use: **command** • Run command: cmd /c "cd /d \"A:\1 Amazon_Active_Projects\3 ProjectStructure\Renders\" && ZipSeqArchv.bat"
