Change Project name in WebStorm
webstorm
Solution
Hit cmd+R (or ctrl+R I guess) or Right click / Refactor / Rename while highlighting the top level dir in the project tree. It shows a popup whether you want to rename the dir or the project name.
Problem
I'm trying to change the name of my project in webstorm. I have looked at this answer on their developer forums, but it does not work for this version (Webstorm 7). Changing the contents of `.idea/.name` does not change the name displayed in bold in the project folder view. I searched the `.idea` folder for instances of the old project name and replaced them across various configuration files like `modules.xml` and `PROJECTNAME.iml`. There are quite a few. I must have missed one because I couldn't open the project after that :) My solution was to blow away the `.idea/` folder and open the directory again, creating a new project. Is there a better way to change a project name?
