Renamed project still shows up as old name>

I renamed a project but when I go to another project and try to 'Reopen' the supposedly renamed project it still shows up as the old project name even though all references in .idea have the new project name.

Hi there,

1) Full IDE version ?
2) Restart should help

I encountered this issue too! I've been using CLion lately and every time I want to rename a Project the folder in the Windows FIle Explorer change its name successfully but the Project Name stays the same in the App…

Hi there,

Cannot speak about CLion as it may work a bit different.

For PhpStorm – custom project name is saved in a .name file inside the PROJECT_ROOT/.idea folder (where this project settings are stored). It's a plain text file with a single line – the custom name of the project.

1. Do you have such a file? If so – what content it has?

2. The old name is still displayed in the IDE and will be updated on the next launch only (this is how it works in PhpStorm).
