How to rename a project?

It has happened to me more than once. I start a project, get quite a way into its development, then change my mind about what I should call it! :oops: Of course I can change the name of the executable or library that the project produces but I haven't found a way of renaming a project. I've tried obvious things like project file itself but that doesn't work. Is there a way?

I am afraid that this feature is not implemented yet :oops:
There is a bug for this ... https://sourceforge.net/p/codelite/feat ... uests/571/

To rename the project, you need to change its name both in the .workspace file and in the .project file itself

I rename projects fairly often. One comment, make sure the names all match. I phat fingered a rename once and things sort of worked, except once you set the misnamed project as active, it would show up as active forever. And I think hitting F7 wouldn't build the project.

I'd say not being able to rename a project is a definite 'rough edge'.
