rename project

PostThu Jun 30, 2022 4:14 pm

I thought that when I was going through the manual I saw where you could rename a project, which is now what I want to do. But I have scrolled up and down the manual, looked in menus and can't find again. Can I, other than windows explorer?

Open the Project Manager, I think you can either right-click on the project and choose rename, or double-click the name itself and change it.

Right click worked, thanks!

I am trying this right now with v18.6:

- right-click does not give a rename option
- double clicking name opens the project
- right-click can take you to project settings -- lots of settings, no project name setting

What am I missing?

You're in the Project Manager, Matt?

And you can’t rename a project that is currently open.

*edit-- I was wrong, I can rename open projects just fine!

Linux allows renaming of open files at the system level. Maybe Resolve intentionally takes advantage of such.
