Use project number instead of name

When I set up our projects, I am hardly ever given the project name which we end up with.  Sometimes, the project is just called by the city it is in until a suitable project name is found.  Since Newforma uses the project name for .npr files and the name of the directory where it files lots of project stuff, renaming projects can be hard to do.  How about giving your clients to the option to tie all this stuff to something more static, like the project NUMBER, instead of the project NAME?

Hello,

In 7th Edition, we have changed the way project names are used.  Since we are no longer storing information on the file system, we no longer use NPR files which limited the ease of renaming projects.  In 7th Edition, all the data is stored in a database so renaming projects is as simple as going into the Project Settings dialog and changing the name.
