IntelliJ IDEA: How to rename a project (in “Recent Projects” list)?

Question

Is there an easy way in IDEA 12 to rename a project in the \"Recent Projects\" list?

Answer 1

I found the solution to change “Recent Projects” list!

1. browse 'setting.gradle' in your project

2. change rootProject.name='new_project_name'

However, this way only changes the project name.

Answer 2

Simply edit the file that contains the name: .idea/.name.

Answer 3

I completed the renaming as below.

The attached image is structured in project folder.

Must make changes in the xml into a new project name.

1. close IDEA intellij (14.0.2)

2. change intellij project name (folder)

   e.g) old_project_name -> new_project_name

3. change .idea in folder

We have only changed the

1) artifacts in folder -> xml

2) runConfigurations in folder -> xml

3) modules.xml

4) workspace.xml

5) [your_project_name].iml

(Depending on your project structure, your folder may not contain xml)

4. restart IDEA intellij

5. File -> Import Module...[your intellij project]

I hope this helps you :)
