Can't import existing projects into workspace   
I moved some directories around on my hard drive.  I created a new workspace and tried to import the existing projects 
into it.  When I select the folders for the projects Momentics doesn't show any projects to import.

I am running 4.0.1 of the IDE.

Any pointers to figure out this out?

Thanx
Tim

Re: Can't import existing projects into workspace   
When you moved your project folders, did you moved the project metadata (.project, .cproject) files? You need to have 
those metadata files to be able to import the projects.

Even if you don't have those metadata files, you still can re-use the project data. Create the same new porject, select 
the same name and use the existing project folder. You will have to re-configurate your project if you have specific 
settings within them.

Yes, the .project and .cdtproject files are in the new folder locations.
When I browse to those folders to import Momentics doesn't show any
projects there.

Re: Can't import existing projects into workspace   
When I try to create a new project with the same name in the same folder it tells me there already is a project there.

Yet when I try to import that project it doesn't appear in the selection box.

Any help would be very appreciated!!!

Thanx

Re: Can't import existing projects into workspace   
It can happened if IDE thinks that it is already has these projects. Did 
you move old .metadata directory in your new workspace? (You should not)

If it tells you projects already there can you still press finish to 
continue import?

RE: Can't import existing projects into workspace   
I did copy the previous .metadata to the new workspace.  After deleting
that I was able to create a new workspace and import the projects.  I of
course had to redo all my preferences.

Thanx!
Tim

You can export/import preferences as well.

RE: Can't import existing projects into workspace   
Great, I will have to look into that.  Seems that by copying I created
my troubles.  I was only trying to avoid all the preference changes.

Thanx
Tim
