PyCharm: The project at ... uses a non-standard layout and cannot be attached to this project
pycharm
Solution
As mentioned by norok2, for Pycharm 2019.1, first open the project in a new window.
Afterward, try to attach it to the existing window.
Problem
I have the latest version of PyCharm installed (2017.1). Everything works well except when I try to open two projects in the same window. I get this popup after hitting `OK` in the `Open Project` dialogue (which gives you the option to `Open in a new window` or `Open in current window`). I tried the fix mentioned here (which is really stupid anyway). Also tried throwing a `*.iml` file in the `./idea` directory, but it gave me this: ``` 5/4/17 5:11 PM Load Settings Cannot load settings from file '/home/brandon/Downloads/chalice/.idea/chalice.iml': content truncated File content will be recreated ``` Again, it doesn't matter which project I want to open, so replace `chalice` with `*`. Opening single `*.py` files is fine, but I can't open projects. Anyone have a solution so I can get back to writing Python? :D EDIT: So now I've downloaded the latest version PyCharm and re-installed it. Now I can't even create a new project without this popup coming up. What's going on here ???
