Description Krzysztof Daniel CLA 2007-06-08 05:19:46 EDT 
Build ID: I20070601-1539

Steps To Reproduce:
1. Create a project.
2. Export it to *.zip file.
3. Close the project.
4. Try to import it.
5. Empty projects list.


More information:
This is pretty annoying, since I am using mylar and a workspace with many closed projects. If I try to import a project that already exists, I see nothing and I am pretty confused (there is no warning).

The project import intentionally removews exiting projects to prevent loss of work

Tod,

I suppose current behavior is intentional. One thing I would like to see is warning, that some projects (names) have been hidden because they already exists in the workspace.

This patch is fine for now as it gives a warning. In the end it would be better if we could show the projects we are not importing and optionally let people import them anyways.
