Two flprjs with same project GUID - is it a problem?

[Cecily]

After copying a project and renaming etc, they both have the same project GUID (when I open the flprj in Notepad).

They are both in TFS source control and I'm using Flare 6.1.

Things seem to be OK (at present), but should I expect problems in future, should I change the GUID manually (how) or carry on regardless?

It's not just the GUID, if you just made a straight copy of the project, then it would also point to the same location in source control; the SourceControlDatabase and SourceControlDatabaseRoot in the flprj file will show the database and folder that the project is bound to.

So if these are the same, then I'd imagine you'll have both projects storing files in the same location.

If I wanted to copy a project that's in source control, I would first open the copy and unbind it (on the Project Properties, Source Control tab). I would then rename the project (folder name and flprj file). Then I would bind the project (again in Project Properties), which will set up as a new project in source control (in a separate folder).

Yes, the SourceControlDatabaseRoot was the same, but the dev I was working with changed that to the new location (everything was in a horrible muddle, too complicated to explain). So we're just left with the same GUID. Sounds bad, but it seems to be OK - for now.
