Project import
Situation: I run EE2.0 and in project list there wasn't my project. I thought that it disappeared (magic), but after that I opened "My computer", navigate to EE->Projects->_Build_ and fortunately there is my project-there is the source (I can open it in visual but I would like to open it in ee).
For simplicity the question is how to import the project? Open the EE->Import->? When I navigate to Projects there I can't import any project...

RE: Project import
Import is for a EE 1.0 project. As long as the project folder(named a string of gibberish) is in the projects directory, it should show up in the list. You didn't move your project or changed the default directory of the projects, did you?

RE: Project import
Additionally to what Rubeus said, the _Build_ folder is reserved for built project. (pressing "build" in EE 2.0). Everything in that folder is not something that EE 2.0 can open. All the project that you see/make in EE 2.0 are in the folder just above (Projects), and have encrypted file names.

Re::Rubbeus: I didn't change default directory.
Re::Tottle: I know that there are encrypted file names I see them but how open it in ee2.0? I see that in this folder there are more encrypted files than I can see in ee's list project. In other words how to open this encrypted files in ee2.0?

RE: Project import
Just place the folder in the Project folder. It will automatically find the project in the editor. If it doesn't, there's probably something wrong with the project files.

This is the point I placed the folder in the Project folder and I can't see my project.

RE: Project import
If it's a 2.0 project and it won't load, or it's a 1.0 project that won't import; then I don't know..

Esenthel will probably have to help you with this then.

RE: Project import
Hello!

The _build_ is not importable, because it's just temporary files used during compilation.
You cannot open separate files from the project, you must open the entire project.
The projects are folders with "ahsdvjavhsdjavsh.." characters.
Please move that folder to your EE 2.0 projects folder.

If that doesn't help, please let me know about:
Did you have the project visible/show up in the Editor before?
Did you remove the project?
Did you move it to other folder?
Did you manually modify some files from inside the project folder?

Thank you

"Did you have the project visible/show up in the Editor before?"->yes
"Did you remove the project?"->no
"Did you move it to other folder?"->no
"Did you manually modify some files from inside the project folder?"->no
In folder with projects there is more folders with "ahsdvjavhsdjavsh.." than I can see in the ee's project list, so I think that ee can't decode it all.

RE: Project import
Hi,

I've received your files, some of your project files "Settings" are completely empty (only zero bytes).
Does your computer sometimes freezes and makes files corrupt? That could be the cause of the problem. I've had similar problem with a faulty HDD in the past, one other user on the forum also had it.

Btw I've noticed that your projects don't have the "Settings.old" file (which is a backup) which means that you're using an old version of the engine?
Please try updating the engine to the latest version, which makes backup of the project settings files, so the issue will not happen again on faulty hdd's.

RE: Project import
Ok thanks. To sum up it is impossible to recover the project, yes?

RE: Project import
If only the "Settings" file is corrupt, then you could try re-creating at least part of it using:

uint CC4(byte a, byte b, byte c, byte d) {return a | (b<<8) | (c<<16) | (d<<24);}
uint CC4_PRST=CC4('P', 'R', 'S', 'T'); // Project Settings

void saveSettings(File &f)
{
f.putUInt (CC4_PRST);
f.cmpUIntV(0);
f<<id; // this is the ID of the project
}

you can get the ID from DecodeFileName of the project folder name (the ajskdhaksjdas characters)
then put that file as "Settings" inside the project folder.
