Creating a new project from an existing project

I want to create a new project that is a renamed copy of an existing project.

There must be an easy way to do this, and I'm missing it. Being able to do this would make creating setups for new versions of software for which I already have setups created alot easier than starting from scratch every time.

Thanks.

Copy the folder, and then rename the .mpr file in the new folder.

Hi, i got exactly the same problem:

If i save my existing project on another name and apply some changes in the new project, ALL these changes are applied to both projects (old and new).

How do i save an existing project as an completley unlinked NEW project, so that changes in the new project are not applied to the old project?

I tried copy and renaming mpr file: Still the same

Thanks in advance

If you did that AFTER saving your project as, of course.

Please read the help file for descriptions of file types and how saving as affects links between scripts and projects. None of this is secret
