Project Load: GameMaker creates a second .yyp with my project's old name

[MangoB1]

Description

I renamed my project recently by using "Save As" and changing the title under Game Options > Windows > Display Name which works however everytime I launch my project from there it creates a .yyp in my old project name. I can delete it with no issues.

I will attach bug package when the feature works again. It is throwing me an error.

Expected Change

Do not restore a .yyp file with my old project name after I have saved it under another name

Steps To Reproduce

1. Start GameMaker
2. Save Project As another name
3. Close Gamemaker
4. Load Project
5. See "OldProjectName.yyp" in project folder in addition to the new .yyp
6. See the issue

How reliably can you recreate this issue using your steps above?

Always

Which version of GameMaker are you reporting this issue for?

Several of us have not been able to reproduce this so far in 2024.11 or a slightly newer internal-only 1300 Beta, so hopefully this was a temporary problem - however, no repro at all yet, so we think it might be something that we need logs off your machine for.

Thanks for reporting this, but in order to confirm the problem and then investigate a fix we need you to send us small project which already shows this issue - to ensure we see exactly what you see and then learn why this problem is caused.

Uploading samples should be working fine already, btw, but you may need to sign out/in again and also potentially re-authorise your GameMaker account to connect to GitHub, yes.

Open the project inside GameMaker (and ideally recreate the problem), then use the Help menu's "Upload a Bug/Ticket Sample" tool and say yes to GameMaker privately sending us your project. Copy the download link GameMaker gives you and then paste that link here as a new comment, please.

Thanks!

Why Have You Asked Me For A Sample?

EDIT: Nevermind issue still persists after trying to "Save As" another project name. It will be fine for a few attempts but I eventually find my old project name.exe in the project folder. I am also experiencing issues with the client giving me a blank screen when I try to load my project about half the time and I am unsure if it is related: https://github.com/YoYoGames/GameMaker-Bugs/issues/9438

I used "Save As" again, renamed my project folder and my Gamemaker made another folder inside my project for some reason (Project name/Project name). I deleted it with no issue and my client no longer creates a .yyp with my old project name.

Not sure what is causing Gamemaker to create another project folder inside my project folder but I have seen that happen before. Anything I can do to fix that as I have been noticing other strange issues so I am unsure if there's something I need to edit / refresh?

I have attached my ui.log below.

I believe this one is another symptom of #9444
Will keep this open for a little longer once a release is made with the fix for that, just to make sure.

Sounds good. I may have fixed it by editing my .yyp via a code editor and changing any references to my old project name to my new one. I haven't seen the issue happen since then but will report back if I do.
