I'm a bit late to read this thread, and while I understand it's an inconvenience that you can't *create* a project using the dotted notation form, it is possible to change the project afterwards, so why not for a short period allow both naming schemes? The dotted notation form has several advantages over the harbour- prefix; avoiding name clashing as the most important. It's not like it's thousands of submitted apps that will either have to be maintained with the harbour- prefix, or go through a relatively easy transition once the SDK has been updated. -- Med venlig hilsen / Best Regards Thomas Tanghus _______________________________________________ SailfishOS.org Devel mailing list
