I have trouble restoring QlikView documents from project files. Our version control tool works fine with the *-prj folders, but all of a sudden QlikView doesn't recover qvw documents anymore if I try to recreate the documents from the project files. What we did was:
Place the -prj folder and contents in a directory lets say c😕QlikViewProjects
Create an empty QVW and save it in c😕QlikViewProjects and do not name it the same as the -prj folder
Close your new qvw
In windows explorer rename the new qvw to match the -prj folder.
Open the newly renamed qvw and it should import the contents of the prj folder
