Problem importing data into a new database

Question

Hello,

I did an LCA with openLCA and then exported all the processes, product systems, etc. I created to pass them on to a co-worker and then unzipped the created folder. However, I tried to import all those JSON files into a new database to check to see if that works and I can't get past that window where all folders are listed as I can' select anything. It seems as every folder is empty when at the same time all my files are visible when I check the folders in the Explorer. Is there anything I might do wrong? Thanks in advance

Do not unzip the file. openLCA only accepts zip files with a specific structure for the JSON import: http://greendelta.github.io/olca-schema/#zip-packages

In openLCA, try to select the parent folder to the database folders you want to import.

Let us know if the folders appear!

The folders do not appear... I am still getting the error message that says you need to open database... I have used the Import >file option to select the correct folder where the json database is located... but it can't find it when I then go to import>other
