ReDRuMxxx Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Hello, For some reason, Logic displays in the project name (in the open project) the "last saved from project" name, which is completely useless and annoying. Can this be removed? I found the reference in the plist file in "contents" of the project file itself. If my explanation is unclear, please check the screenshots. The name in the red rectangle is some old name of some old project, where I probably used the "save a copy as" command, now I'm stuck with it every time I use the template (this is NOT the name of the template) -> This is where the name reference is saved -> Can this be removed without messing with the plist?

volovicg Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 The first name is the name of the current project, the second name is the name of the current alternative in project. Open up your alternatives and delete those you don't want...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReDRuMxxx Posted July 9, 2017 Author Share Posted July 9, 2017 I'm pretty sure that the one your green arrow is pointing to is some very old "source" project file name I used as a template ages ago. Also, in my "edit project alternatives" window I only have the one "wrong" name... But when I rename it to the actual project name, then the extra part disappears. I doubt this should be expected behavior, but at least I know how to fix it now Thank you!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volovicg Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 No.. It is operating as it should.... You at some point created a project called Anatomy - you then created an alternative called Ramming speed 5x master - then at some point you deleted the anatomy project. Leaving only the alternative - but since it wasn't saved as a separate logic project - logic remembers the original project the alternative was created from...

ReDRuMxxx Posted July 9, 2017 Author Share Posted July 9, 2017 Sorry but this is untrue. As I said, I once had a project called Ramming Speed 5X MASTER, which is a very OLD project. I opened it, removed unnecessary files, and archived it by clicking SAVE COPY AS. I gave that copy some other name, I think just Ramming Speed ARCHIVE. This was done 2 years ago. Today I opened the Ramming Speed ARCHIVE project, because I wanted to use it as a starting point for a new project (Anatomy). Here I already noticed the "double name". In the arrange window I had both "Ramming speed ARCHIVE" and "Ramming Speed 5X MASTER" names. From this project I removed ALL files, automation etc., and saved this AS A TEMPLATE FILE. Then I created a new project (Anatomy) from the template, but the oldest "Ramming Speed 5X MASTER" name was still here, persistently. I think Logic gets confused by "Save Copy As" and "Create Template" commands, or some combination of the two. This happened to me already with other projects, but this is the first time I cared enough to post here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Whatever the reason, just delete the Alternative name as volovicg suggested, that should solve your issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReDRuMxxx Posted July 9, 2017 Author Share Posted July 9, 2017 Yes, that is clear, thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 And without going further into it, I can confirm that there's definitely something funky with project and alternative names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
