I have 2 questions:
1) Best practices: When you create a new KDS project and then save it and close it and remove it from the project pane, how do you reopen it? The Project -> Open Project is grayed out and will not browse. The only way I've figured out how to open a project is to Import it. But that only works if there is a WorkingSet file which is not created by default.
2) Creating a Working Set? I've figured out that I need to export to a Working Set to a file in the project director (which is a catch22 because there is no way to create the file if it doesn't exist). So, I've created a kds directory and "touched" a file to create a wsd file. Then I can export wsd settings into it. There doesn't seem to be away to "CREATE" a working set when you export unless I use my method above and create an empty file initially. Is this a bug in the KDS code?
Hi Stephen.
use File > Import > General > Existing Projects into Workspace
Select root directory: select your workspace
You should see your project there, if you did not remove sources. I have just tried in KDS 3.2 and it worked well.

Yes, that worked. I was trying to import from the Project of Projects method. The problem still exists on being able to export a Working Set file if it doesn't exist already.
I start from scratch and create a Kinetis 2.0 project, then check to make sure that it builds and I can run the debugger on the FRDM-K22F boards that I have. Then I create a Working Set by some name related to this project. (which is a bit misleading because it doesn't store that with the project in that instant. Then I thought the right thing to do was to export to create (store) the projectname.wsd file. When the export can't find a file by that name it won't create one... (this is the confusing part for me -- why?)... SO I just coerce it to store a file, by going to my mac terminal and "touching" a wsd file in a folder (also doesn't exist) called kds.
Then I can save(export) to that wsd and all is well. I can then save this all to GIT, check out to other machines and use import to pull the whole project in by its working set.
I now see that I can save and restore projects by the GENERAL option. So, maybe I'm trying too hard by using the WSD. But that is the design pattern I saw in all the example files so I thought that was the way to go.
Hello stephen,
1> Yes ,In KDS, open one project use the "import" button .
2> About your this question , could you please describe it clearly ?
You'd better show your steps one by one , then tell me at which step have error .
