Hello everyone

As much as I can determine, when I make a new project (on my iPad) I am directly sent to the blank canvas where I can start to draw, and that’s all well and good, but the project is titled « unnamed project » (sorry if that’s not the exact term in English, I use it in French).

If I want to actually name it (useful If I want to export it for 3d printing), I have to go back to the main area, where all my project are stored and then give it a name.

So, and sorry if I’m asking out of ignorance but, wouldn’t it be easier to be able to name a project from within the project ? Maybe by selecting the « unnamed project » at the top of the screen ?

Cheers and thank you for this fantastic app

I would welcome this change too. I often forget to name the project after closing it.

This is something we are working on as we speak and will be released in a few weeks. (Actually, we managed to finish the Windows side of it quicker, so it’s already possible there, but it’s coming to Apple platforms real soon, too.)
