CCS v6.1.0.00104 -- Can't open files?

Walter Snafu

My CCS notified me of an update for CCS, so I downloaded and installed it.  But it cannot open any of my files.  Not my old files, and not when I create a new file either.  It cannot open any of my files.

So I downloaded and installed it a second time.  Still same problem. 

UPDATE:  So then I UN-installed CCS, then downloaded and installed again -- for the third time.  Still no luck.  It cannot open any of my files.

Any clues?

Is anyone else reporting this problem with CCS v6.1.0.00104?

Thanks for your help.

    Hi Walter,

    What do you mean by any of your files? Projects? Are you unable to open any projects that are in your workspace?
    If so... try switching to another workspace.

    Do you get any errors or does it just open a blank editor? A screenshot may be helpful.

    As Gautam asked, do you see the issue also with a new clean workspace?

    More info:

    CCS is able to open my previous project  and display the filenames.  However, it can't open the source files: *.c, *.h, or *.cmd.  It just sits there starring at me....

    I tried opening the files in various ways, and none of it worked:

    • double-clicking the filename
    • right-click on filename, then open
    • File>Open File>browse-to-filename

    Other programs are able to open these source files, but CCS cannot.

    Also, I tried cleaning the project.  No luck again.  CCS can't open the files.

    Then I tried creating a new workspace and project, and creating source files within that project.  It worked!  CCS can re-open those newly created source files and edit them.  This must be a clue.  It must have something to do with the new Workspace, because newly created files in the old workspace cannot be opened.

    Then I tried switching back to my previous workspace (now cleaned).  CCS still cannot open the source files. 

    I'm mystified.

    Walter,

    Can you open a new workspace, import your project into it and check if opening the source files works from there?

    It worked! As you said, in a newly created workspace, I imported my previous project, and CCS could open all the source files. That solution worked. (Though it is a bit mysterious and klugy...)

    AartiG -- thank you for your help.
