    I'd like to add to this and ask for:

    Unity Hub to rename and backup projects.
    I've just spent some time re-organising/backing-up projects and found it very frustrating/confusing.

    e.g. I rename a project via my account, but still need to rename the player and folder name manually
    and if I copy/move the project folder then my account only refers to one project.


    What I'd really like is a simple way (Hub) to select my project and have the options to.
    1. RENAME PROJECT (automatically renaming it in account/folder/player)

    2. RENAME+BACKUP/Archive (CLEARLY being able to specify a new location/name -or suffix with 'archive automatically)

    I've a feeling these features were mentioned in a previous Unite?
    (this type of thing would make it easier for copying a prejoct and testing it with different versions of the editor/assets/packages - which might mean less problems for people - i.e. not messing up the original project)

    Rename project is in the backlog.
    For the other two, I am asking our PM to consider them.

    What about doing this directly in the Explorer on the equivalent if you are on a Mac?

    Adding too many options to the hub will make it a fat, uncontrollable, little bastard everybody will hate. ;)

    Renaming a project is more than renaming a folder - if you check the link I've posted above, it's a series of about 4 separate things. If that could be automate into a hub rename, I feel it would be quite useful.

    just having the option to rename etc next to a project name wouldn't bloat it imo.

    Yes, that one plus another one, plus ten other ones, plus a hundred other ones, and what do you think the Hub will become? A bloat that you'll have to keep open all along when you work on your projects. :)
