Description mienamoo 2013-06-04 13:20:03 UTC
NetBeans build 201306032301
JDK 7u17 64-bit

In files view, when selecting the 'Open Project of Folder' action, nothing happens. Tested with projects that were opened at IDE start up as well as newly created ones, both Ant- and Maven-based Java projects.

Nothing is logged to the IDE log.

Well I assume that the purpose of this action is to open not yet opened project so if you invoke the action on one of the top nodes it won't do anything because that project is already opened. You can use this action in case that there is another project inside of the top level project folder e.g. in netbeans module application.
Comment 2 mienamoo 2013-06-06 07:48:34 UTC
Would it be possible to switch to projects view and select the already open project in that case? That would be a useful addition IMHO, especially if you end up with as many open projects as I usually do. :)
Comment 3 Jan Peska 2013-06-06 07:57:08 UTC
We can definitely propose it as enhancement to Projects/Generic Projects UI (owner of the action)

Thanks! :D

This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue.

Thanks for your cooperation,
