Description Robert Konigsberg

When using the "Import Existing Projects into Workspace" dialog box, after entering a directory where projects exist, the list of projects does not show any projects whose names already match projects in the workspace. I can understand that you don't want to projects with the same name; is it possible, however, to at least display the found entry as unimportable? Making that dialog a little easier to understand would be helpful.

One possible solution:

Add to the Projects dialog those projects that are found but can't be imported, and when selecting one of those, give information why it's not importable in a status label.

Its a good point, just removing the entries isn't enough, we should explain why.
