I moved one project from one disk where my default project directory is, to another.
The project would show in the starting screen of waveform. But after couple of days, that project is no longer shown in the Waveform. I tried to open the project directly from the files, but it doesn't open.
What should I do? Any suggestions?

MIDI, audio, or a mix?

MIDI stuff might still work, as it's part of the .trkedt file. Audio is stored as separate files pointed to by the .trkedt main file, and those will all be missing. Can you copy the project directory back to it's original location; archive it, and then restore it to where you really want it?

A full project file. Can't open it. Tried open directly from files. But can't. That particular project which I moved from one disk to other.

It's strange as I can still open most projects from windows vista days, that I have moved across five systems simply by copying the project folder (I probably have to search for missing files and half the plugins are obsolete, but the project still opens)
If you go to the project folder and right click the edit file and select open with Waveform, or use 'open project' from inside Waveform and search for the folder that way, normally works one way or another, so maybe you have a corrupted file somehow?

I've done the same, but always keep the "simple" vst's and working projects in a folder c:\zrecording where I have .\vst64, .\traction (projects), .\hardware for backup configs of synths and pedals.

That folder still has working things from Tracktion 3 (I can load them in 7, which I have on the current system), and I also have a .\vst32 for old synths that I'd delete, but occasionally like to play with the old minimogueVA and SQ8L
