Bug 25999 [Import/Export] Importing a second project with a name whose first few characters are similar to an existing one
Reported: 2002-11-11 16:21:04 | Status: closed fixed

hi, I have a project called "XYZ" in my workbench. I used to have another project with the name "XYZ_plugin" which I had deleted from the workbench some time ago. I found that I needed to refer to some classes on this XYZ_plugin project and tried to use the File > Import wizard. In the text box where I needed to point to the file-system location, as I typed XYZ_, the project name still showed up as "XYZ" and so I got an error saying that there was already a project existing with that name. Finally I had to create a new project and point it at the location. But I think this is a bug.
