Use Open... to reopen a project you've worked on before, or browse your computer for one. Follow these steps:

  1. On the toolbar, click Open.... If you've opened any projects before, a Recent Packages list appears, showing each one's name, description, and file location. (The very first time — before you've opened anything — this skips straight to the file browser in step 4 instead.)

  3. Click Open Package Info to open that project directly. If you'd rather pick a different project from your computer instead, click Browse... and continue at the next step.

  6. A project can target more than one platform, so it may contain more than one platform folder — for example, Platform_OpenViewSelect for an S70 device, and Platform_OpenViewPro for a P100. Open the one that matches the platform you want to work with.

  7. Inside that folder, you'll find a .PackageInfo.json file — that's what you select to open the project on that platform. Here, OpenViewSelect.PackageInfo.json.
