How can I import, when my OpenLCA 1.9 will not recognize JSONLD files, either zipped or unzipped as importable files?

Question

When I try to import JSONLD files into OpenLCA 1.9 and browse my computer, only the open LCA operating file comes up as an option.  Others tell me it should work and can import the file.  I've tried unzipping and leaving zipped, but it will not recognize them.  I've tried making Open LCA the software to open zip files, but get an error.

Any solutions to import the files?  I have been trying to import the EPA quality program and reimport a file that I exported to someone else who updated it.

Hi Roy, One thing that's potentially a bit unintuitive and has caught me out a couple of times is that if you click the "choose directory" button on the "select import files" dialog, it is looking for a folder (i.e the one with the zip'd JSONLD file in it), not the zip file itself.

Once you've selected the folder containing the zip file, it should be an option in the box on the right hand side of that dialog.

Possibly this isn't the problem you're seeing - apologies if so as your description is a bit different - but hopefully it helps. Sam
