Hi there,  
so due to copying a project back and forth I somehow lost the p4d project file to open the project.  
Is there any way to recreate the file from the info stored in the project folders or will I have to redo the processing?

Hi,

May I ask if you have tried to save the results in another folder, create a new project in PIX4Dmapper with the same name and the same processing options, without processing it and then move the results folder back to where they were stored?

Best,
