can't open project - have .iml file but lost .idea directory
Hi Everyone. IDEA 10.5.2 will no longer open a project I was working on a few days ago, but it will open other ones. The "Choose" button is enabled, but does nothing. I've compared the two and it looks like I seem to have deleted my .idea directory, though I still have the project's .iml file. I think this is the problem, as when I create projects I take the default, which is directory-based projects. Questions: 1) Do you think the missing .idea directory is why it won't open? 2) If so, how do I recreate it? If I make a new project from scratch with that directory for "Project files location," it wants to replace the .iml file. Thanks in advance -- matt

Yes, that is the problem. The .idea directory IS the project to IDEA.
Thanks a ton, Mark!
