Cannot open Katalon project file (cannot be selected)

Yesterday upgraded to Katalon 5.8.6 and since then I am not able to open the project file. When I navigate to File/Open Project and locate the project file, I cannot select it. It appears like an invisible file. However, I can open the same file with other apps such as Atom.

My colleague also upgraded with me to 5.8.6 but he can open the project. The only difference - I am using a Mac and he has a Windows machine.

I uninstalled Katalon from my machine and installed an older version using "https://download.katalon.com/x.x.x/Katalon_Studio.dmg" where x.x.x is the version number for Katalon. I tried with 5.8.5 and 5.8.0 but I get the same result - cannot even select the file.

It is worth mentioning that the migrated version in the .prj file is showing 5.7.0 even after my upgrades to later versions (5.7.0). I tried updating it to the version I am using (at the current time this is 5.8.6) but that did not help.

Before the upgrade I was on 5.8.5 and everything was fine (Monday was my last commit to the project). I know some people might point at potential git issues, but my colleague and I have been working on this project for some time and we have never had git issues.

Attaching a screenshot here

Please, help!

In that case, You need to select project folder not, the .prj file.

If you go through the web page here with the sub heading Open an existing test project it says,

Select File -> Open Project from the menu. Browse to the folder where your project is located and select it.
