I cannot import file in Workspace

[luke514]

I put this folder in the workspace with all the other projects:

Now I have to import it as I have always done: file - import - existing projects in the workspace

I cannot press on "finish"

You have to select something to import!

Either check the box next to your project name, or just use the 'Select All' button:

The problem is that it won't let me select it..

But I think I figured out why, there is a warning that the project already exists in the workspace .. probably because the folder name to import is different from the actual name of the .ioc project inside.

I lost an hour because I thought I was importing the wrong way.

I will update you

If the project is grayed out, it already exists in the workspace.

I put the project folder on the desktop, imported it and now it works. Perfect!

The question is ... I don't want the project on the desktop, I want it in the workspace folder with all the other projects (C:\Users\me\STM32CubeIDE\workspace_1.8.0\myproject) how do I proceed?

I delete the folder from the desktop because stm32cubeIDE automatically creates it in the workspace? (I did and it seems to have happened like this)

You can remove (don't delete) the project from the workspace, move the folder, and re-import it from its new location. Don't think you can move it once imported.
