Trying to Show off some demo project for ignition but I can’t seem to get them to load onto an ignition 8 gateway I’ve tried 8.0.12/8.0.14/8.0.15 and all I get is an error Failed to import project.Gateway reported that it could not import project.

Im downloading from here:

I mean from inside the zip in the `Project Backups` folder, which project were you trying to import? I’m guessing `PerspectiveDemo`, because that was the one I had trouble with.

Try dropping the `PerspectiveDemo` folder directly in the filesystem under `{installdir}/data/projects`, it should be picked up by Ignition automatically.
