I am trying to import and old sw4stm32 (ac6) project into stm32cubeide 1.18.1 but it does not work.
I have tried Migration guide from System Workbench to STM32CubeIDE, UM2579. I can select the import project -> general -> import ac6 systemworkbench for stm32 project. I select the folder with the code and click finish but nothing happens. I do not get any error of success messages and no project appears.
Most of the tutorials/posts are 3 to 6 years old. Is there a new way to import the projects? Is there a log file so I can troubleshoot this?

That's around when SW4STM32 was abandoned in favour of CubeIDE.
I guess the assumption is that anyone who had projects to migrate will have done it by now - hence they haven't been maintained/updated.
Do you still have a working SW4STM32 installation?
A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work.

Can you post the example you're trying to import?
I remember opening the .project file seemed to work.
Creating a new project and copying over code is an alternative.

Does this folder contain .project and .cproject files? sometimes these files are in a subfolder of the project files.

@Andrew Neil Thanks, yes I have an old laptop with the working installation. Is there any way to export it from there?
@TDK Ok this seems to work somewhat. I do get the files loaded but the build says: "Nothing to build for project" I can unfortunately not share the project.
@Pavel A. Yes those files are in the folder but the import does nothing with those I think.
I will try today to update the references in the in the (partially?) imported project

I don't know.
But at least that gives you a working reference as a last resort if you have to re-create the project from scratch in CubeIDE...
