Hi there,
I had a hard drive crash and re installed. I had a copy of my xcode project on a thumb drive, and copied it onto my new laptop drive so that I could work on it in my newly installed xcode.
But alas, the project appears as a folder titled 'thefakenameofmyapp.xcodeproj'.
When opened it contains .pbxuser files for everyone who has worked on it, and a file called project.pbxproj.
It will not open in xcode and none of the files inside of it change or open anything (except launching xcode).
I have heard of this happening on machines who don't have xcode installed, but xcode is installed in the default location on the drive and there is a developer folder with everything intact.
I can open xcode and create projects.
I just can't open my old ones.
Any ideas?

Re: Help: Xcode Projects Appear As Folders And Will Not Open
Sat, March 3, 2007 - 5:40 AMDo you have the same version of Xcode installed? They changed the extensions that it recognizes as project bundle in one of the 2.x versions - only newer versions of Xcode recognize .xcodeproj files.
