If you change the name of a project in the "General" project properties, then the GUID for the project does not get changed. 1. Import a project into the database and change its name in the properties. - In the open project dialog, the old name is no longer available as a project to open 2. Try to import the same project into the database The message given is that the project with the name n already exists. This is confusing - the project with that name doesn't exist, but the GUID does. I'm not sure that we would want to change the GUID for a project when we rename it (as the GUID gets used for referencing this project in other projects). However, the current behaviour is quite confusing from a user perspective.

When this feature was realized we decided to make the GUID the one and only identifier for a project. If one renames the project no harm is done if this was a mistake. If the GUID would be changed too, all references would be destroyed. > However, the current behaviour is quite confusing from a user perspective. With the above said, the project still is in the DB but with another (irrelevant) name.
