To restore projects that have saved as EZP files, you right-click in the detailed projects list and select the Import of project (load EZP file)... command in the context menu. You can right-click on any project in the detailed projects list , or even on the header.
The projects that you import will be placed either in their original groups, or in the group which is active when you right-click. If you want to decide yourself where in the tree structure to put the imported projects, it is therefore important to first select the appropriate group, before you right-click and select the Import of project (load EZP file)... command.
When you have selected the Import of projects (load EZP file)... command from the detailed projects list context menu, you will be presented with a dialogue box with which you can control the import process for any number of projects. The figure below shows how that dialogue box looks when it first turns up.
Figure 175: The dialogue box that is used to import previously exported projects looks like this when it is initially displayed.
Basically, the import is a two-step process. First you add EZP files to the List of selected EZP files using the Select/add EZP files button. Then you import from that list using the Import (load) selected projects button.
However, you have several options in the dialogue, and also several buttons to get the job done. With the links below, you can access descriptions of all elements in the dialogue.
