Greetings,
I have encountered a problem. Not long ago, due to a system problem, my documents folder was deleted, the default Incomedia folder along with it. I managed to restore some of the lost data, but I only have .iwprj files that are recent. The problem is, the program (website x5 11 professional) only accepts .iwzip files, so I cannot load my .iwprj files.
What can I do so that I can load and edit them again?
Thank you in advance
László

Hello Laszlo,
If you have the folder with the iwprj files and also all the other files and folders like library and backup then open then open the preferences of the program to see whrre the files are stored and then in windows copy the folder with the IWPRJ files inside this folder and restart the program. The projects should appear in the list of the available projects.
Many thanks!

I'm afraid I was not clear. I lost all data, and therefore I have no previous files, except for a few IWPRJ files which I could retrieve somehow.
So again, to make it clear, I have the program (professional 11) but I lost all files which were stored in the program's 'preference' folder (..\Documents\Incomedia\Website x5 v11 professional..). Later, I managed to retrieve some iwprj files, but the program requires IWZIP files, it can open only these files.
All the files I lost are uploaded to websites. The question is: can I download them in a way that I can edit them again and use them in website x5?
Thanks for your help

Hello Laszlo,
The IWZIP are imported and the IWPRJ can be added in the project folder so the program will recognisee them automatically when you start the program.
What I meant is the IWPRJ only will not be enough. You need the whole content which was present in the project folder like also the library folder as example otherwise it will be viasible in the program but you will get an error when you try to open it since some parts are missing.
Many thanks!
