Re: [PATCH] Add a menu item to save a project under a new name.

 

Yeah, I realized this after a sent the patch in, though I think it also
calls into question the logic behind the archive project function. Though I
am surprised about the sub directory files problem.

I do think it's an important feature to have though, so any help from
anyone would be appreciated.

Kind Regards
Russell

Hi Russel,

I tested your patch, but it does not work very well:
- subdirectories are not duplicated. Instead of, the files inside subdirs
are copied to the new root
dir.
- lib tables are not copied.

There is also a problem with libraries inside the project (like a rescue
lib)
They are renamed, but lib tables should be modified, according to the
renaming.

This is a tricky problem.
