unable to see imported projects in 6.1.1

[EffIxx]

Hi
I have a strange behavior in 6.1.1. When I import projects I can not see and select these projects. But the projects have been created in the workspace, as you can see in the screenshot.

However, these projects are not offered for selection me when I start Talend
 
When I try to import these projects once they appear to me as already imported.

Does anyone know this problem? What am I doing wrong ?

Hello
I can't reproduce the problem. From your screenshot, I see the same folder name already exists in workspace, that's why you can't select the projects. Have you tried to create a new workspace and import the project again?

Hi
Are you sure they are valid project folder, there should exist the following files in project folder:
.project
assembly.xml
pom.xml
recycle_bin.index
talend.project

Hi Shong,
thx, that is precisely the problem, which I me but pose the question of where those files are?
Is there a document where I can read about the meaning of these files?

Hello 
No a document explaining these files. If you still have problems, I suggest you to follows the below steps to import projects to a new workspace:
1. Start up studio and open your older workspace. 
2. In studio, export your projects to an archive file.
3. Reopen studio and open your new worspace. 
4. Import projects from the archive file created by step 2.

Hello Shong,
i found the problem. The reason for this, however, it is not clear me.
When importing a project the content of the file ".project" was not copied, the file was empty but the migration file do not report this error.

 ---=== Start Migration of project Auskin ===---
 * Task  : Applied successfully
 * Task  : Applied successfully
 * Task  : Applied successfully
 * Task  : Nothing to do
 * Task  : Applied successfully
 * Task  : Nothing to do
 * Task  : Applied successfully
 * Task  : Applied successfully
 * Task  : Nothing to do
 * Task  : Applied successfully
 * Task  : Applied successfully
 ---=== End of migration ===--

Therefore I have made a lot of time troubleshooting in the wrong places.
When I found the problem, I have simply taken another project file, copied and overwrite the contents of the token <name> </ name > with the name of my project. After that I could Talend start normally.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<projectDescription>
	<name>TEST2</name>            << == This nanme was replaced by the imported project  !!!!

thx for support.
