@similato87 can you please take a look into this?

Hi @zhoumzh,

Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention and for providing detailed information. The error you're encountering is due to no files being selected for the improvement process. In the improve mode, GPT-Engineer requires users to select the code files that need to be processed by LLMs. This selection is done in your default text editor, which should open automatically for you to choose files by removing the # in front of their names, thus marking them as selected.

By default, all files are unselected (prefixed with #). It's possible that the text editor window was overlooked, or the necessary modifications to remove the # were not made for the files you intended to include.

As an illustration, let's consider the default example-improve scenario in our project. If you wish to select "control.py" and "main.py" for improvement, you would need to remove the # from in front of these two filenames, save the changes, and then close the editor. Below is a screenshot showing how it looks after the files have been selected and saved in Notepad.

I hope this clarifies the situation and helps you proceed with the improvement process.
