Lost previous project when reopening Codelite

[Tigers!]

Gudday all
Normally Codelite when it opens 'remembers' the previous project/workspace that I was using. Now it has decided to forget them and gives me the screen shown in the attachment. I was expecting to see the tree structure in the workspace view pane.

Can we find through some history tab was Codelite was using last and reopen it? Or do I need to go the folder I was last in and look for the project/workspace? I can see a *.mk file and a *.project file. Are these the ones I need to have Codelite open or others? Is one better to open that the other?

Hi,

The only time that's 'supposed' to happen accidentally is if you have 2 instances of CodeLite open at once, one with a workspace, the other with just a file. If you close the instance with the workspace, then remove the file and close the other instance, the next time you open CodeLite it will be "empty", just showing the welcome page.

Yes, File > Recent Workspaces. Or you can locate workspaces for yourself (unless MSWin is different, they should be <workspace-name>.workspace) and open with Workspace > Switch to Workspace.

Or you could look at your own screenshot, where it says "Recently opened workspaces"...

At this opening screen, there is a list of last open workspaces, just click on yours.

Also, make sure that the menu option: 'File -> Load last session on restart' is checked.
