Cannot create or open existing project

Hi, I have been using Intel XDK since a few months ago without any problem, but yesterday when I opened it, all my projects have dissapeared from the IDE (not from the disk).

When I try to open one of them ("open an intel xdk project" option), the IDE show me the message "Opening project: <nameOfProject>" but this windows never hides and the project never loads. The same issue occurs if I try to create a new one.

Anyone knows how can I solve this?

Thanks in advance

The precise location of the global-settings.xdk file varies. Simplest way to find it on Mac or Linux is:

$ sudo find / -name global-settings.xdk

After clicking open an Intel XDK project, select projectname.xdk file. And which xdk version are you using? One suggestion is to delete your global-settings.xdk file. Apparently there is an issue where an empty or corrupted global-settings.xdk file will cause the behavior you are seeing. You'll find it in the same place you found the xdk.log file.

I'm using 1995 version in a Mac. I have been looking for the file global-settings.xdk and xdk.log but I don't see them. In which directory can I locate them?

Thanks

Note: I have created a virtual machine with Ubuntu 15.04 for testing and Intel XDK runs well.
