Description Antoine Toulmé CLA 2007-07-27 16:27:44 EDT 
To reproduce this bug,
try importing a project from an archive or a folder into the workspace.

Once you imported a project successfully, try importing the same project. You will notice that the project is not shown in the list of available projects to be imported anymore, and no message explains that such a project already exists.

Two possible solutions may be used:
- display a message in the dialog telling that the project already exists, as a warning, and optionally permit the user to override the previous project.
- change the project name to be able to import it anyways

In my work environment, people tend to always name their project with the same name. This is an issue as my testing workspace is most of the time cluttered with old projects, and I don't know which needs to be replaced.
