Change the Project File Name is not reflected in the IDE

Targets macOS
1

I was fooling around yesterday (carefully to not loose anything) and…

  • Saved the current project,
  • Go back to the Finder,
  • Change the project file name,
  • Back in the IDE: the file name change was not updated,
  • The IDE save the project using the previous file name (of course with current creation/modification dates)

Doing that with TextEdit (Apple’s application) produce far different result: the file name is changed once you go back to the application.

Status ? (normal / bug / whatever else ?)

I would say normal. And i would always recommend to close a Project, rename it and load it. Or just to save it with a new name. :slight_smile:

For native cocoa apps the NSDocument class tracks the file automatically. Coding it manual may not be worth the work…
