could not open the project file

Pierre Huybens 0

Good Morning,
I have an issue with the project. I have configured a set of file in the project # 1 very useful when accessing a set of files all the time. Now when I ask to open the project #1 nothing happen. Same if I try to open project#2 or 3 that I have never used. I got te same issue some time ago and the solution was to delete a configuration file. Unfortunately I did not write the solution and I do not remember the file name to delete.
thanks for your help.

the config.xml contains a project panels tag like

    <ProjectPanels>
        <ProjectPanel id="0" workSpaceFile="D:\to_delete" />
        <ProjectPanel id="1" workSpaceFile="" />
        <ProjectPanel id="2" workSpaceFile="" />
    </ProjectPanels>

As you see in the example, ProjectPanel 1 (0 in xml) points to a file D:\to_delete and if you open this file then you see the list of files assigned to the project.

    <Project name="Project Name">
        <File name="mybatch.bat" />
    </Project>
</NotepadPlus>
