copying projects: help doc bug?

Hi all,

The "Projects and Files Windows Keyboard Shortcuts" help page says that to "Copy a project" one does the following:

1) With the focus on the project name, press Shift-F10. Use the arrow keys to scroll to Save Project As.

2) Press Enter to open the Save As dialog box, type the name of the copy, the press Enter.

Unfortunately, whether this is done in either the projects or files window, there is no "Save Project As" menu item.

Left over from an earlier version, perhaps? (I'm running w/the latest hotfix, i think.) Is there a recommended way to duplicate a project?

(And i have to mention that OR searches are the lamest, least useful searches possible... is there any way to do an AND search in the help system? Using +RequiredSearchTerm, or Term1 AND Term2, don't seem to work.)

Hi Alyxandr,

I just tried this action in the latest hotfix version of Creator 2, and it worked exactly as described. There was a Save Project As... item on the popup menu for the project name in the Projects window, and the Save Project As dialog box did appear. I don't know why you're not seeing it.

A hotfix recently went out, so I suggest updating to that version and trying it again.

Thanks,

Paul

OK, found the problem - it's there in WebApp projects, but not Java Class Library projects. The same thing is also happening with New > File/Folder > Java Classes > Properties File - creating a Properties File is an option in WebApps, but *not* Java Class Libraries. Yuck.
