Error description

• In the Synergy 7.2 GUI, attempts to convert a top level
  directory to a subproject fails, exhibiting the behavior
  described below.  This can be seen in prep and working state
  projects. Steps to produce this behavior:
  
  1) Show a working or prep project that you are able to modify
  2) Set a current task with same release as project
  3) Choose a subdirectory at the top level of the project.
  4) Right click on the directory and select "convert to
  subproject"
  
  The result is that a new project gets created but not used in
  the parent project.  The directory which was acted upon remains
  in place. The project's root directory does not get checked out.
  The new project's root directory is the same directory version
  that was acted upon in the original project, but no members
  bound to it.
  
  The ⠜Convert directory⠦⠝ dialog shows the error ⠜!There
  is no recommended candidate version⠝.
  
  Performing the same steps on a directory at a lower level of the
  project produce the expected result, which is that the directory
  acted upon gets replaced by a project having the same name and
  the directory in which it resides gets checked out.
