Renaming an Application

Hi,

Is it possible (or anybody tried) renaming the internal name of an Application?

I will leave the ID the same, but the name of an App could be made more meaningful for my usage, but I don't want to remove and re-add to the Store. The Users never see this name, so they will never know.

Therefore I will be changing:
- The name value in the manifest.xml
- The name of the Classes (App and View)
- The name of the mc Files (to be consistent)

The name was suitable 18 months ago, but now clashes with a new project - and I keep getting them mixed up.

Thoughts?

Cheers

Not a problem AFAIK.

Using Eclipse? Right-click project folder and rename. Rename your classes and edit entry="" in manifest. AppName="" should remain the same.
I actually rename all my projects to make the entry="Main". But then I'm probably known for some dodgy coding ;)

What Shark said, but i'll also rename the .mc files so they are easy to ID in editor tabs...

But as an old C guy, even I never renamed the entry point as "main"! :)

Thanks both - I guess you haven't encountered any Store or Download problems?

For future reference, I completed all the steps in my original post, and it was successful. So you can rename projects and successfully upload.

I did use the rename on Eclipse, but it crashed with a null pointer exception :-) On restart it created a duplicate project, but that was easy to un-pick.
