I duplicated some project files in Finder, then I renamed them in Finder. All of them opened in RW 7.0.2 without an issue.

Thanks, Rob!

Odd; I renamed _MyProject\_0_ to _MyProject\_1_ on the desktop and got an error message immediately on double-clicking that ‘MyProject\_0.rw’ [sic] could not be found.

Try to drag the newly renamed project file to the RW icon in the dock?

Works perfectly, Rob; thank you.

Rarely though I do that (in this case it was to send a kind third party developer a copy of a file which was to be vastly slimmed down so as to isolate the particular problems with Styles). the drag and drop way seems to work…
