Project Settings

Project settings let you rename the project entry shown in Godot Launcher. When the launcher can access project.godot, it can also update the Godot project name stored inside that file.

Rename a launcher project​

  1. Open the Projects view.
  2. Open the project settings action for the project you want to rename.
  3. Enter the new launcher project name.
  4. Save the drawer.

The launcher name is the name shown in the Projects list and launcher menus.

Also rename the Godot project​

When project.godot is available, the drawer includes Also rename Godot project. Turn this on if you also want the Godot project name updated inside project.godot.

Leave it off when you only want to change the name shown by Godot Launcher.

Validation​

Before saving, Godot Launcher rejects names that would make the project list ambiguous or unsafe to display:

  • Empty names.
  • Names with line breaks.
  • Names with control characters.
  • Names that duplicate another launcher project name.

Folder names​

Renaming a project in this drawer does not rename the project folder on disk. It updates the launcher entry, and optionally the Godot project name inside project.godot.
