Cannot Open Existing ScreenMaker Project in 5.15.01

in ScreenMaker
Hello Users,

In RobotStudio ScreenMaker 5.15.01, user will not be able to Open an existing ScreenMaker project having ".smk" extension because the filter does not appear in the Open FileDialog.

Reason:

This is because of incorrect filter options set in Open FileDialog where user is asked to select the project location. See attached file RS_ScreenMaker_Open_smt.png

Workaround:

Here are some workarounds :

1. Create a new ScreenMaker Project. Then Open any existing ScreenMaker project. 
OR 
2. Type in *.smk as shown in the screenshot below when in ScreenMaker project folder. See attached file RS_ScreenMaker_Open_smk.png

Fix:

The fix for this issue would be available in the RobotStudio Service Release (5.15.01.01)

Thanks,
Abhishek
