Description Helmut J. Haigermoser CLA 2007-07-05 11:38:49 EDT 
Importing a project that coincidentally has the same name as a project that's already in the workspace can lead to confusion as the wizard won't even show it in the list. Don't get me wrong, I think it's great that the wizard filters out already existing projects from the list, however, I'd like to ask for a check box (show all detected projects or sg.) that would display, greyed out, those projects that fell through the cracks...

It's also a bit inconsistent the way it is, after all, the "New Project" displays an error if one enters a name that already exists...
