How does one renames a project in Leadwerks?

[Lunarovich]

I know that it's a stupid question, but is there a way to change a project name in Leadwerks? Some automated way that changes all relevant filenames from the root folder? Or can I just change the name of the executable?

Hey Lunarovich,

You can change it in the App.lua file where the name you want will show at the top of the game play window...

 

function App:Start()

--Initialize Steamworks (optional)
Steamworks:Initialize()

--Set the application title
self.title="MyGame"

@CreativeOcclusion, thanx! But I was talking rather about folder name and the name in the project manager... Is there a way to change it? 'Cause I don't see any option in the project manager to rename a project and I suppose that I cannot simply change the name of the folder...

I suspect you would have to do it through windows explorer with the editor closed. Rename the project folder, the *.werk file, and the release/debug executables. Then after opening the editor, go to the Project Manager and import the new project via the newly named *.werk file.

 

Or just create a new project via the Project Manager and copy/move the required assets/maps over into the newly created Project.

OK, thanx. Although it's simple, it would be nice to have this functionality out of the box.

Yep, like Clone Project or something..

If you just rename the werk file itself and re-import it into the project manager, it will be a new name.
