How to open a older copy of the same project in CCS

Hi,

 How do I open an older copy, in an other dir, of the same project?

 If I do: project->import CCS projects.. the project is grayed out.

It is really impotent  that both projects keep separated.

I use CCS 6.1.

Thanks!

EDIT:

 renaming the project solved it. only now a lot of the source files are lost in the project somehow:

this is the error message when I try to open it:

 Error retrieving content description for resource

didn't find any option to link the source file again. so how is it done?

    Hello,
    The issue is that you can't have projects of the same name in the same workspace. Hence you were initially prevented from importing the old copy. Renaming would resolve that but it looks like it broke some other dependencies (source file links?)

    Without more details, it is hard to say what happened. Can you provide a small test case?

    Thanks

    Hi eve,

    You should use version control system to manage your project files. I would recommend Git. Git is very simple to use.

    I don't think that git solve my problem. I want different versions of the same program. I don't know If it is only Intraspin (demo) applications or CCS programs in general but the project files are all over the place and you can 't modify them in CCS. If there is something wrong in the project file your unable to fix it.
    So I ended up replacing the complete workspace directory.

    How to manual add an c file in the build process.
    gmake: *** No rule to make target `Drivers/clk.obj'.

    The problem seems like the file is in a sub dir of the project. And somehow I can't find any option to add it to the make list.
